Every once in a blue moon, mama and papa actually hire a babysitter (for money!) so they can go out. This happened a few weekends ago when they found out Miss Cooper was throwing a surprise birthday party for Mister Jeff.
This was no ordinary surprise party. It was at a Greenville Drive game. In a dugout! How awesome is that? And when it stormed and the game was delayed, they just retired to their private party room under the bleachers and ate delicious game food, drank from their keg, and played Wii.
This is the party where mama almost broke her arm playing Wii. (That with the broken toe she's still nursing after she accidentally kicked the door jam, mama's in bad shape these days.) Even with the injury, it certainly was worth the babysitter.
We did a little geocaching and found a cache we've been seeking for a while. Pretty tricky.
We ventured on to campus to find another, but a storm was rolling in, so the GPS wasn't really working. Plus, all three of us kids were running in opposite directions. Mama gave up before we found the treasure, but not before we posed in front of this cool sculpture.
Musical Interlude: Who doesn't sing about the genders of their ponies? (Mama thought they were all girls...)
Have we mentioned the new jeep? One of our friends gave it to us and it's all the rage. Henry usually doesn't let anyone drive it, but he did let our friend McKain have a turn because he's also got a jeep of his own at home. Does this count as riding in cars with boys?
Mama and Henry got up really early one morning to start a new project- a lego maze for Henry's hexbug.
Here's the finished project.
And here it is in action. Pretty fun stuff. Henry spent the next three days adding tunnels and buildings. It was very impressive before mama dropped it on the floor. Oops.
It was quite cute when I wrapped up my baby for bed, but this picture frankly looks kind of creepy.
Finally, Georgie received two presents in the mail from Aunt Molly and Uncle Michael. They looked so fancy gift-wrapped, we couldn't resist taking a picture. And the toys inside were so fun, you can guarantee that Georgie hasn't even had the opportunity to play with them herself! Thanks, Molly and Mike!
