Come in and stay a while!

Simons come to visit

We had our first over night guests and they were quite enjoyable! Noah, Ella, & Eli came to stay a couple of nights with us and had so much fun. They didn't try out the guest bedroom though because right now it is cool to sleep on palates.Or in Ella's case, squeezing into bed with Uncle Jeff & I.


They were very critical first guests:
Noah: "Nanny, you should really keep your blankets in a basket by the couch."
Ella: "Nanny, if you had a bigger bed we wouldn't be as squished."
Eli: "Hey Nanny, where's the choc-milk(as he is digging in the fridge)?" (of which I had none...anyone who knows Eli knows how well that went over)


When they were all sugared up and running around our just over 1500 sq. ft. house, Jeff looked at me a said, "We will never have more than one toddler in this house, there is just not enough room." I agreed!
We had a very busy few days! We went to the Incredible Pizza Place for dinner, games, & rides. Baked a cake, cooked dinner all together, made lots of arts & crafts, went to Jump Zone, played in the sprinkler, planted flowers, and had movie night. 
The visit was for Noah's birthday so we let him pick out the movie. He had been dyyyiiinnnggg to see The Blind Side so even though I wasn't sure it was the best idea, we got it for him. That's all we heard about all day from Noah! So.....we all got in our pajamas, popped popcorn w/ M&M's, cuddled up on the palate and turned on the much anticipated movie. 
In true Clark fashion...sweet Noah was sound asleep before Big Mike's first night at the Tuohy's. He was so upset the next day...poor baby! 


Here are some pictures of the stay...
P.S. I now have a basket of blankets by the couch & always keep chocolate syrup.  As for the bigger bed, that will come later, Sorry Ella!

$65 later...We took home a plastic princess wand that broke before they got back to Lake Charles, a bouncy ball, a mini slinky, & a bracelet. What a deal! 

Despite a few criticisms, I think everyone had a great time and they will definitely be back for more overnight stays at the Nanny & Uncle Jeff's!

I love these kids so much and can't begin to say how much I miss seeing them everyday. I am so blessed to have such great little ones in my life! They make everything better!
                                                    Come back and visit soon, Love y'all :)
