Bye Boys!!!

I'm a bad, bad blogger. The whole idea is to update the goings on around here and I've just been too busy to do it. So my crazy week and a half is dwindling down. The boys are with mom now and I'm trying to get caught up on laundry and ironing and house cleaning and errands before the big holiday tomorrow and our beach trip on Saturday.

It was so much fun for the girls and Jacob to have their cousins here. Monday we all loaded up and went to McWane Science Center in Birmingham. If you've never been, you should go. It's fun for everyone, adults to two year olds! The IMAX is always awesome. The boys watched "Dinosaurs" -- my girls were too scared so we opted for "The Grand Canyon." It turned out to be very environmentally informative -- a little scary actually -- about our we are destroying the Colorado River. (One of my favorite memories was the trip Jonathan and I took there before we got pregnant with Madison. White water rafting on the Colorado is something everybody should do at least once. You'll never forget it!) But the best part of the movie was the music -- all by Dave Matthews. And the scenery was breathtaking. By far though, the "hit" of the day was the electronic game mat where all the kids jumped around trying to avoid the lit up "dodge ball" on the floor. They had the best time hopping around, falling down and acting like loonies.

Thanks boys for coming to visit! We're going to miss having you here!
