My parents drove down to Oklahoma for a short but fun visit. They got here on Sunday afternoon and left Wednesday morning. Monday morning we went bowling. Owen spent most of his time wandering around all of the arcade games while my dad followed him. Jack and my mom had a lot of fun bowling together. Mary and I were just spectators.
Tuesday morning I had the opportunity to go to the dentist for the first time in two years while my parents watched the kids. I got Mary dressed and then handed her to my mom to get dressed myself. When I came back out I realized that I unintentionally dressed Mary and I the same…twinsies!
Tuesday afternoon was our fun food time. We went to Chick-fil-a, and it just happened to be Cow Appreciation Day. Owen is still talking about the cow tickling his tummy, but Mary was not quite as amused by the cow. The boys were also excited to get a balloon and small stuffed cow.
We also went out for donuts after lunch. The boys love a good donut :).
It's not often that Owen gets new clothing items since he generally gets hand-me-downs from Jackson. Ever since Jackson got his red Nike shoes, Owen is always putting them on and saying that they are his. He gets angry when we try to put his shoes on that were handed down. My parents took Owen out after lunch to get his own new pair of shoes. He got the identical pair to Jack except in bright yellow. He was so excited to choose his shoes and carry them to the counter. He tried to wear them to bed for naps and at night the entire next day. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa.
I had to take a picture of Owen sitting outside by himself while we were all inside trying to escape the heat. He sat there for about 10 minutes just staring out at the trees chewing on a straw.
We wanted to get a picture as they were getting ready to leave. I literally took 142 pictures using the rapid capture feature on my phone, and I was able to pull out about 9 where everyone was looking at the camera.
The kids had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa, and we look forward to the next visit!
