Spring Break

The only thing, the Boyz wanted to do on Spring Break, was to have friends over. It was a miracle that both Boyz found friends that were in town and could come over for the day. Eventually I decided that Em needed a friend over as well, since she was cramping Dawson and Tanner's trampoline style and calling them "little shits" every time they bounced her. The kids played hard all day long and we capped off the evening with a BBQ with our friends Kelly and Andy. It is so lovely to have warm weather, and even lovelier, to like your neighbors.

Dylan and Kayden, had a great time riding bikes on the dirt hills. It was excruciating watching them lug their bikes up the dirt, but they didn't seem to mind the downhill.
The Boyz, including Dave, spent a lot of the afternoon playing "Deer." It's the redneck equivalent of Dodge ball. Dave played really fair, and I was proud of him for not taking advantage of his size and strength. However, I was slightly alarmed at the toe touches and other various cheer leading moves he was attempting.

And Emma and Mackley, had a great time playing Snow Whites. Before Mackley arrived I gave Em a gentle reminder that Princess' don't talk like sailors, even if their brothers bug them, and we were profanity free the rest of the afternoon.
