Vacation!

Marlene, Trent, Chad and baby Brian left and went back home yesterday. We were sad but we'll see them in a couple weeks when we go to see Katie and Marcela's new baby! I know the kids will be excited when we finally tell them. It's too early for that right now. Maybe next week, then I only have to endure one week of "Are we going to grandma's house TODAY?" "NO! Not for 7 more days!!!!" "But that's a LONG time!" " I KNOW."


Ok. Make that the day before we go.


We came home yesterday and found a young couple trying to make a home in our front yard. I only got a picture of them leaving but they've been back a few times to try again.

I also took a picture of Maia's hairdo. She straight refused to let me take it out and redo it!
I love how kids have no idea how crazy they look. She had that piece of hair in her face all day and still wanted it there. Maybe she just likes variety. Maybe she's just nuts.

As for today, we splurged and ate at Winger's. Can I just tell you how happy I am that they're building one of those here in town? I just found out yesterday! Currently they're in Eagle and it's a good 20 minute drive. But we were looking to just get out of the house. It is, after all, spring break which means Casey has a vacation! The kids ate popcorn by the handful which is why it's one of their favorite places to eat, too. Then Grandma took Sadie and Luke to play games at Pojos in Boise. They came home with 10 tiny green army men, a purple plastic ring and a tiny glass plate. We went shopping and wore our other two out so, all in all, a good day!
