a visit from dee

Dee came to visit us for the weekend. She arrived Saturday at lunch time with Taco Bueno in hand and left mid-morning on Monday. The boys had a great time reading books, throwing balls, and getting wagon rides with their Dee. I enjoyed a great sewing session on Sunday night and feel closer to being a sewer in the near future!

Dee and the boys
(Notice Noah's fabulous monster face :)
Dee bought Noah this fun helicopter at Cracker Barrell where we ate lunch on Sunday. Noah played with it while we waited for our table, while we ate, and then held it the whole way back to our house. That night Clay told him if he cooperated during teeth-brushing then he could sleep with his prize. He cooperated (read: didn't cry) so the helicopter went to bed with him. We all laughed because never did Noah realize that the helicopter was full of candy! He just loved the rest of the toy! Well the mystery ended on Monday when Noah banged the helicopter against a chair and out popped lots of tiny, colorful balls of sweetness. Before I could get them up, Noah was having a field day with the candy, even throwing some to his brother. I don't think I've ever seen my boys so excited about something!

Thanks Dee for visiting us and giving us lots of laughs!
