While Daddy is Away...

J has been in Peru for the last 10 days, so the kids and I have filled our days burning up the road visiting with family and friends.  It has helped to stay busy because 10 days is A LONG TIME!!!!  We went to Columbus for a few days to hang out with the Nelsons.  Not 5 minutes after we pulled in to the driveway, my kids had changed into their swim suits to play in the little pool.  Pretty smart thinking since it was 98 degrees.  Yikes.
They also made a ridiculous number of laps around the house on all the different riding toys.  They got pretty smart and asked Nana to make a "car wash."  She stood with the water hose sprayer thing and sprayed them as they looped by her.
We went over to the Sykes' house for a little pool time and birthday celebration.  Sweet Hunter and Sarah Kat made cupcakes for EK and decorated the dining room for a little party.  We all had a blast!


Walker always wants to know where Pop is at all times.  They are buddies!!!  So we did a lot of "Pop watching" and looking for his lawn mower.  Meemaw moved to a new room at the place where she lives.  The kids loved exploring her new home and especially loved the birds and fish that are in the lobby.  EK pushed Meemaw all the way to dinner.  She was so proud to be such a big helper.
We met up with the Gordon's one night at Chick Fil A.  Walker's behavior was less than stellar, but EK had a big time playing with Mary Reeves.  We went by their house for a few minutes to play after dinner.  I love getting to see this sweet family and I CAN NOT WAIT for the girls trip in a few weeks with Meaghan and several more of our BFFs!!!!!
We got back home yesterday and are SLOWLY getting back to normal.  Walker does not sleep particularly well away from home, so that makes for some grumpy days and bad attitudes.  Thankfully,  J will be home tomorrow and we can get back to the way things should be!!!!
