Mattie's second attempt

Game and story time!

    Last weekend we got to hang out with Larin and Jessica's kids while they went to the temple.  We had lots of fun and Kabree was in heaven.  I found punch balloons 3 for $1 at the dollar store and who knew that Kabree and Wyatt would LOVE them so much!  Poor Mattie's lasted about 2 minutes before she ran a hundred miles an hour and tripped and crazy enough the second her balloon grazed the lawn it popped.  Mattie being the awesome trooper she is says "It's ok, I don't care" and continued to run with the others.  Then Kooper being the great big brother he is "You can have mine Mattie, here" as he makes one last trick in the air as to his horror he trips and leaps to save his balloon but before he can catch it, it too hit the grass and popped.  So we get out the spare balloon and they decided to share, which we couldn't stop laughing when after 2 minutes of playing with that one it had a small hole in it.  They both were such good sports and just laughed about it.  Morgan was so afraid that his balloon would pop too he ran his inside and said he was going to save his : ).  

    After our balloon fun we headed inside for games and stories.  The kids helped me make dinner, cookies and of coarse kool-aid and then we all enjoyed a movie after lunch.  We were going to make volcano's as per Kooper's memory of a great day we had years ago when I was the super cool aunt and did major craft and game days multiple times a year; oh the life of a much younger, kidless aunt lol.  We once made volcano's out of clay, baked them, painted them and then erupted them, it was pretty dang fun but  unfortunately timing and life had other plans Saturday.  Larin and Jessica came home a bit earlier then I had anticipated and Zach worked a bit later than I had anticipated, plus that was the fun night we had to hurry Keagan into the doctor.  Anyways, we had so much fun together and it made me miss the old days of us spending tons of time playing together.  I love you guys and can't wait until we can hang out again!
