A weekend w/ the cousins

Last weekend Zach went on a bike ride in Bremerton so Abby and I drove to Tenino to have a slumber party with Grammy, Grampy and Sophia and Griffin. Kyle and Amy were at Alderbrook celebrating their 6 year wedding anniversary--can you believe its been 6 years??? Time flies. Anyways, Saturday was so beautiful out so my mom, dad and I sat outside on the driveway so the kids could play in the sunshine and get some Vitamin D. Grampy wanted to fix the training wheels on Sophia's new bike so Sophes and Griff decided to help. It was so dang cute. My mom and I wanted to run to the outlet stores in Centralia so we packed up Griff and Abs and Sophes stayed back with Gramps. By the time we got done shopping it was 8pm so we had to race to get the kids fed and in bed. I got Abs in the bath while G & S ate. Abs was done, dressed and on couch w/ Gramps. Bath #2-Griff, done and hand off to Grams. Bath #3-Sophes, she got to play while I fed Abs and got her down then Sophes got out and got in jammies, brushed teeth and in bed for story and prayers. She was out. Last but not least--Griff had to be put to bed. He wanted to be cuddled and every time he got close to falling asleep on me he would bounce awake so I finally just put him in bed which he did not like so we had to let him cry it out for a bit. Went back in about 10 minutes later and picked him up and he immediately fell asleep. Phew--kids in bed so glass of wine for Auntie/mom. :) Grams and I were laughing about it all but hey, it was a great system.

Here are the big cousins loving on Abigail. Sophia drew Abs a picture and sat and stared at the clock before we got there because she was so excited for us to show up.This is how the weekend ended. Abby was pooped out after such an eventful slumber party. We had so much fun and the kids were great. . .even if it did take a little extra time to get Griff to sleep. :) Once we got him settled (at 10:15pm) he ended up sleeping til 6am which was great!
