Weekend with Grandma & Grandpa

This weekend we drove all the way to Cotati (in the Bay Area) for the triplets' 6th birthday party at Pump It Up. There was so much heavy fog all the way through Vacaville paired with the usual weekend traffic that it took us THREE hours to get there! We were so late to the party that we literally only got to play for a few minutes on the big inflatable slide before it was over, but the boys still enjoyed their time there (even though they were begging for more!). Grandma and Grandpa were here visiting for the weekend - they had stayed Friday night at Aunt Jolie's house - and after the birthday party they came back to stay at our house for a few days.



Sutton wasn't really all that interested in bouncing that day

Wow, Grandma even took a turn with Sawyer!


On Sunday Grandma and Grandpa took the boys out for some shopping and ice cream, and they hit up both of the mall playgrounds for awhile since it was too cold out (42 degrees!) to go play at the outdoor park. The boys always have a good time when they play at the mall, and this time was no exception. They were also happy to go out to lunch at McDonalds, or as Sawyer likes to call it "Old McDonalds Had a Farm," for burgers, fries and their most favorite Apple Dippers. We had a pretty low-key day since it was so freezing cold out and because Mitch had a nasty cold. It was nice to have Grandma & Grandpa's extra sets of hands in the morning so that Mitch & I (knocked out from the cold medicine) didn't have to wake up at the crack of dawn for once (thanks again!). We let the boys open their holiday gifts from Aunt Jolie & her family, and they got two new toys that they're already having a ton of fun with - a set of Plan Toys creative wood blocks that can make some super awesome castles and a teapot and play dishes set (made from recycled milk jug plastic - so green and cool!) to use in their play kitchen. The boys had a really nice weekend, and they are already asking when Grandma and Grandpa are going to come back to visit.

After a 3-hour nap we decided it was time to wake up the crazy haired monster...he was obviously NOT happy about that decision lol
