The Cousins Come to Play

Morgan and Mattie and Grandma Cristi came on Tuesday. We were so excited to have them come, Morgan got her cast off in the morning then they headed up to see us in the afternoon. We were all excited to see them but Brennan and Peyton just couldn't wait. We were able to play outside, paint pumpkins, have "2 sleepovers" as Brennan puts it and tons of other fun things. My mom and I actually tied a quilt for Peyton and have the makings of another for Brennan. I should be able to finish that one myself. Thanks Mom for getting all the stuff and bringing your frames, and most of all for doing all my laundry. You amaze me and I Love YA! The quilts are so cute, the kids will love them,.

We went up to Lynx Lake to collect some Fall items for Brennan. His preschool is doing a fall collage and wants them to collect things like leaves, pine cones, seeds, twigs, etc.... So we all joined in the fun.



After collecting the Fall items we headed to Peyton's favorite place to eat, Red Robin. We had tons of fun and Mattie talked me into trying the "Crane" game for her, you know the impossible claw game that is filled with tons of stuffed animals. I pointed out to her which animals I could possibly get for her, even though they weren't the ones she wanted, I ended up getting 6 stuffed animals with $4. Each try was $.50. I must say I even surprised myself. I got 3 animals in one try by knocking two extra over into the drop slot. That was the highlight of the trip for Mattie. She just kept telling me all day how great I was at that game. Thanks Mattie!!! It was so much fun, next time you guys will have to stay longer.
