Garage Sale Weekend

Each spring we get together with Patrick's college buddies at James and Callie's house. 
We love that they are now in the Madison area and the fact that they have a fabulous party house for kids and adults alike! 
I had to work Saturday morning so Patrick and James headed over in the morning and I met them later. The kids had a great time and played so well together. 
 

Don't they all look so pleased to be getting their picture taken? 
 
 
 
Lots of photos of the boys (though none very good!) And of course Zeus is in on the action too! 
 

There were A LOT of Red Solo cups around - the key was making sure the ones the kids got a hold of were cups Callie or I were drinking out of (the nursing momma and the prego momma!) 
 

Up and down the stairs of the deck - over and over and over! 


Robin on the swing - she is about 6 months older than John and James and is such a cute big girl. 
She can do the big swing, is potty trained and wears 3 to 4 pig tails on a daily basis - love her! 
Hopefully she rubs off on the boys - especially in the potty department! 
 

The sandbox and swing set were a big hit! 
 

And check out the fancy diggers - the perks of having a daddy in the garden tool business! 
 

Coloring on the deck - until the crayons started falling through the cracks! 
 

Lots of bubbles - though the boys tend to suck AND blow - causing them to eat a lot of the soap! 
 

And of course the chicken coop! 


Occasionally the boys "helped" with the bocce ball games -
Thankfully no one (kid or pet) took one to the head this year! 


Buddies dancing on the lawn chair! 


One of my favorite photos from the day - Callie is nursing Grady with Robin sitting on her lap. Grady and Robin are about the same age difference apart as James and BabyE2. 
I was glad to see how well they are all adjusting :) 


And finally Tyson and Patrick at the campfire. 
Tyson wanted to roast marshmallows and they only had little ones - so Patrick stepped in and made it happen.  They were the colored ones and I don't think they tasted very good - but it was an excellent effort!
