W.C. Day 3

Lazy Sunday

Sunday morning was for PJs, coffee and lounging around as much as possible in our house.

Dad & Giraffe Dax

 

Eventually the time came for Chad to head off to the airport to return to reality, probably a welcomed reality after the exhausting chaos and lack of comfortable sleep - we gave him Kaiden's twin size car bed to sleep in over the weekend - HA, shoulda snuck a picture of THAT sight!  As seems to happen when you are having fun, you forget to get the group shots to include everyone - so this time before he left we decided to each take a picture with Chad before he left.

Dad & Chad and 'Wild Man' as Dad calls him snuck in too.

 

I'm pretty sure Chad's laughing about hogging ALL the genes for height!

 

As days go it was a pretty laid back, easy day.  The BIGs helped Dad with his Sunday paper - it's quite entertaining to watch that each time Dad visits.  We played some in the playroom and outside, when possible and then since it was going to be Grampa Dave's last night we did a Family Movie Night and it just happened that the Disney Movie "Teen Beach Movie" was on - HA it is a special kind of torture that movie.  Dad endured it like a champ, we were all exhausted from a very fun and busy weekend and we called it a night.

 

 

Monday - Another Day of 'Ta Ta For Nows'

 

My Dad had a recipe for crock pot monkey bread he wanted to attempt with the boys - easy enough just cut or, if you're Wild Man, tear biscuits from the can, then add copious amounts of butter, brown sugar, white sugar and probably cinnamon then cover and walk away for a few hours.  They were wonderful!  I mean especially for the boys - it was like donut holes in carmely, cinnamony, amazing glaze!  Ha.  I knew another favorite place to grab a bite is Schlotzsky's Deli, and there just so happens there is one sort of close to us.  So after the sugar high of the morning had worn off, we went and picked up some "circle sandwich" as P calls it and came back to the house to do a picnic of sorts with Dad.  Since we had snacked on monkey bread all morning and eaten a late lunch we decided that our best bet would actually be to take Dad up to his hotel before either we had to sit in 5:00 traffic OR we would have to wait and go after dinner.  And since Dad actually had some work to do and emails to catch up on, up to his hotel we went.

 

Good Byes are Never Fun after SUCH a Fun Weekend

 

Dad Saying Bye To Dax.

 

Kaiden giving big hugs

 

And Pierce saying good bye and giving big love too!

 

 

After we waved our farewells to my Dad, everyone was sad.  And I must admit I had a few tears come to my eyes, cause I had SUCH a great weekend and it was so wonderful to have my family close and enjoying the time together and making such treasured memories.  BUT, when you are part of a circus, the "show MUST go on"!  As we were fighting traffic back home K remembered that we forgot to take a picture with all three boys wearing their animal visors that my Dad had brought them.  So once we got back home, I had each boy chose their hats and snapped a bunch of pictures and this was the one we sent Dad of all his "wild" grandsons.



 

They are wild animals I tell ya!

 

 

It was a GREAT weekend and I am so happy and thankful that all three of our World's could collide on this weekend together!  Love Dad & Chad thanks for endearing the Cat5Kirks!
