Visiting with Our Grands…

Thursday was Black and White day at school. Each child brought an item for show and tell that was B&W. Drew had Sheriff from Cars; Ethan had Mavis the train; Sav had her kitty; and Ben had a soccer ball. Lil cuties!

(*after taking this picture, I realized that Ethan and Andrew’s bowl haircuts had to go! LOL)

 

Friday we headed to Austin, stopping in Waco to love on Papa and Granna for a bit.

 

 

My sweet Dad…even if we are only there for 5 minutes, he will pull out his camera and start snapping away!

 

 

Papa and Granna with their grand-quads. Crazy ole Drew.

 

 

 

Then we headed on down the road to Austin, where Grammy’s ghoul was waiting to greet us! Muahahahahaha

 

 

One last dip in the pool before it starts to get cold! The kiddos and their Gramps! LOVE this pic!

 

 

Found a cute frog in the pool…named him Freddy.

 

 

You think he will turn into a prince? I love froggies and lizards, etc. Always have. They are adorable!

Gig ‘Em, Ben!

 

 

My sweet crazies! Love them so much…

 

 

Time for Grampy’s chicken wangs! So, over the course of the weekend, the kids ate about 60 wings. No kidding. Each one of my kids would take on anybody in a wing-eating-contest and win. No doubt.

Ben going to town, getting every last spec of meat off dem bones.

 

 

There were absolutely NO kernels left on Drew’s corn after about 10 seconds. It was like something you would see in the cartoons!

A corn-cob-typewriter, if you will.

 

 

Ethan~ dude was serious about his wings…very focused.

 

 

Miss Priss requests hers without sauce and somehow manages to stay nice and clean whilest eating.

 

 

“Somebody put some pants on that kid!”

 

 

 

The next morning, we dressed in our finest Aggie garb (or unintended LSU colors, lol) and headed out to one of our favs~ Angels.

 

 

DFW peeps, why don’t we have better restaurants that have playscapes for the kiddos? I mean, almost every place in Lakeway has a playscape. It is SOOO nice!

 

Our buddy, Jason, bought all of the kids tatoos. I don’t know what it is about kids and temporary tats, but ours ALWAYS ask for them.

Drew and his red dragon

 

 

Ethan wanted to do his “hulk face”, showing off his green dragon (what are the odds that he would get the only green tatoo in the machine? lol)

 

 

Benny, the sailor-man

 

 

Sav and her glittery flowers

 

 

Happy Birthday, Jason!!! with our best buddy, Trent!

 

 

The quad squad~ all tatted up.  (A, S, E, B)

 

 

Saturday night, we watched the Aggie game that started at 8pm. Didn’t finish until 1a! We won. It was ugly, but a “W” is a “W”.

Too bad Ben couldn’t hang anymore. Hilarious that he is facing the opposite direction, palms up! Rough night, lil buddy?

(This is exactly how WE felt after that game too! SHEESH)

 

Sunday morning we headed home, stopping in Waco. Me and my sweet Ma.

 

 

Silly kids~ always on the tricycles in the backyard

We are so blessed to have such wonderful grandparents (and who live so close)!

Love you guys a TON.

Thanks for a fantastic weekend!
