A week of playing....

This week we've stayed in all week and had lots of time to play with cousins.  It's always nice to have extra kids to play with.  Carson & Emilynn love playing together, but I think it is nice to change things up and have extra kids around.  Tuesday their cousins Shelby, Hunter, & Kelsey came to play for the day.  It was a lot of fun and I must admit-I had fun myself.  We played "house" and I was the aunt.  Of course.  The aunt who babysat the twins while the "mom" Kelsey grocery shopped and the "dad" Hunter went to work in the Little Tikes pick up truck that we have.  It was fun and reminded me of when Amanda & I used to play stuff like that growing up.  My sister had a school bus, a real one that had some seats up front and then a school set up in the back.  We played for hours in there and had our pets out there too.  We had the smartest dog around the neighborhood!  Haha!  On Tuesday we also bowled in the house.  For some reason we decided bowling would be fun and so I came up with some toy buckets for pins and a huge bouncy ball for the ball.  It was a lot of fun and even the twins could take a turn with that since they can throw a ball.  Yesterday, my other nephew named Hunter spent the day with us.  The twins are just big enough now to start playing with him and I don't know that he always appreciates that, but they are growing on him.  He tries to help me with them and tells me often "I a good helper."  It's really cute.  I started with a cold yesterday so I was feeling a little rough last night but doing better today.  That's all we've done this week, just lots of downtime at home.  Dustin & I snuck out for Mexican last night so that was fun too.  
Meme & Poppy came to visit the twins tonight so that was fun because they hadn't seen them in a while.  It's neat to see how good they can walk now if you haven't seen them in a while.  Even a week makes a huge difference right now.  Carson ended up with a bleeding nose....a boo-boo from trying to get on the couch and misjudging it.  Poor boy.  He went to bed with cream on his nose that looked like sunscreen.  Emilynn was in a rather goofy mood tonight.  She has the cheesiest grin.  Her eyes almost close she grins so hard.  The babies love company, so it was nice to have someone else to see other than mom & dad I guess.  :-)
