the cousins are here!

Our house has been full of laughter tonight.
Every other month we watch our niece and nephews,Tyler, Jaden and Paige over night so their mommy and daddy can go on a date, or have friends over or whatever they want to do!  Tonight's our night!
On the other months - our kids go there.
It's a pretty good deal we have worked out.
Every other month - the kids gone overnight.  We can go out and not worry about picking them up and getting them to bed.  We can sleep in (although so far it's always been a Sat. night we get up for church anyway).

After some time at the park, we had 5 really sweaty, yucky kids.
Our bath/shower arrangment was pretty funny.
Tyler, the oldest, took a shower with Mason (by Mason's request)  Dave stood guard and helped, but Tyler did most of the work and got Mason all washed up!
The others took a bath.

And here they are afterwards...

It was quite funny until all but one of them (thank goodness the oldest) decided to drop their towels and run naked through the house as Dave and I tried to round them up!
Okay, so I guess that was still funny too.

Such fun times.
We are glad for these and are excited about all the times to come.
