This week was spring break for Alan and Vickie. They flew down to spend the week with us and will go home tomorrow. We've had a great time and have been busy doing "fun" things all week.
On Sunday, Allison & Jody & all the kids came over for a cook out. The kids were glad to see their cousins and spent time catching up. Vickie, Megan & Taylor played on the swing in the front yard while the rest of us sat around laughing and talking. David & Alan grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and we all ate as much as possible.
On Monday, David went to work and I hung out with the kids watching movies and eating junk food. When David was off work, I picked up Megan & Taylor and brought them back here for a slumber party with Vickie. They played on the swing, explored the barns and watched movies until they fell asleep. Taylor ended up falling asleep first and Vickie used eyeliner to draw a cat face on her. No one knew until the next morning when we woke up.
Tuesday I took the girls shopping and to get their nails painted while David took Alan fishing for some father/son time. In the evening, I took Megan & Taylor home and took Alan to spend the night with Brian. That night, Vickie, Dave and I watched Storage Wars until we couldn't stay awake any longer.
Wednesday we picked up Nanny and then Alan and all went to the movies. Me, Alan and David saw 21 Jump Street. Vickie & Nanny saw Mirror, Mirror. Then we all came home and cooked a big dinner and talked and laughed until it was time for Nanny to go home.
Thursday was cold and rainy. We decided to stay in for the day and veg out in front of the TV. Nanny came over and stayed with us all day. That evening, we had another cookout with Michelle, Stevie, Brittni, Nick, Mitchell and my parents. We all had to stay inside, but it was a fun time getting to see everyone together.
On Friday, Alan & David went to the movies again to see American Reunion. Vickie & I went shopping again and found some cool shirts for her. After the movie and shopping, we met Allison, Jody & the kids for ice cream at ColdStone. Everyone had ice cream and said their goodbyes. On the way home we stopped and rented some movies and went home to start packing for the kid's trip home.
Tomorrow morning we will head to Raleigh so the kids can fly back home. We are excited about June 8th when we will go to PA to see Alan graduate from high school. Spring break didn't last long enough, but we will see the kids again soon.
