Surprise visitors

I was at the mall’s indoor play place for a play date, when I got a text from my Mom asking if we were home today. I initially thought she wanted to plan a Skype call. I told her what we were doing and let her know I would be home soon.

DSCN6697I had just got the kids set up with lunch, and was talking to a friend who had just brought her kids over for me to watch, when there was a knock on the door. I was not expecting anyone. SURPRISE!!!

I do believe I yelled, “Holey CRAP! What are you guys doing here?”

My Dad said they were just in the neighborhood, and thought they would drop by.

I guess when they landed in Las Vegas from their summer trip they decided to just drive down to see us since they were already two hours into the drive down! My Mom was so giddy that they actually got me! I was SO SO surprised.

It was a lovely surprise visit.

Tray volcanos

This activity takes about two minutes to set up and entertains the children for a good hour. It’s awesome that baking soda, food coloring, vinegar can be so fun!

After they are out of reactive fun they get all mad scientisty with their pretend play. It’s all Jekyll and Hyde (SO should have recorded THAT bit!), and witches and wizards at the the kitchen table.

Kaylee couldn’t figure out how to use the medicine dropper, so I had to stop filming and teach her how to do it.

IMG_9239I LOVED how much Cassie LOVED her pinata. She wouldn’t let the thing go until it was time to crack it open.

IMG_9279Cassie and Isaac have June 6th and 7th b-days.  So they get min pinata since it’s two pinatas in one day. Can you imagine the candy output/intake if they were full size pinatas?
