It was great having all the kids here with us last week. Daddy and Mamma Paige drove to Chicago to see and pick up Analyse, Elliot and Rylee. Daddy got to go be the Mystery Guest for Analyses class that day, and really surprised Analyse who had no idea that he was coming.
Then Elliot was super surprised when Daddy came to pick him up from school that day. He screamed so loud he made the teacher jump with surprise.
Then we got back to the house, helped mommy with a few things and drove back to Michigan to spend a few days. We even stopped and tried Chick-fil-a for the very first time, it was really good.
Grammy and Pappa met us at Daddy and Mamma Paige’s house to trade vehicles back and say hello.
Thursday Daddy had to work, and Marcus had school, but the kids had tons of fun with Mamma Paige. That evening Daddy and the kids had a lot of fun playing together. Then we had dinner after Mamma Paige went and picked up Marcus from his extra classes at Civic Theater. Grammy and Pappa stopped by for a while to hang out after taking Uncle Bobo to work.
Friday Daddy worked again, but this time Marcus didn’t go to school so the kids all got to hang out and play together all day long. Daddy brought home pizza with him after work and we sat and ate while we watched TV.
Saturday we had a birthday party for Uncle Benson’s daughter Kadriel, It was at the Lodge, and it was a lot of fun. We were there all day playing and the kids even helped the adults pick up afterwards. When we got home the kids all had Daddy write down his and Mamma Paige’s phone numbers on pieces of paper so that they could memorize them and call whenever they wanted.
Sunday Daddy had to work ALL day, but Mamma Paige and the kids went to Grandpa Kens for breakfast and pumpkin painting. Then A&E&R all headed back to Chicago with Grammy and Pappa and behaved very well on the ride. Analyse called Daddy without any help when she got home to let him know they made it home safe and that she had memorized the phone number.
All in all it was a great extended weekend and Daddy and Mamma Paige can’t wait to do it again soon.
