Father's Day Weekend

We had quite an eventful weekend. Saturday morning, the boys went out to get donuts for Daddy. Once again, they returned home with a large box containing 11 donuts (9 of which had at least one bite missing)! We all had some sugar and then packed up to head to a local air show at a small airport down the road in Millbury, OH. The airport is located just next door to Lake Highschool which was destroyed in a tornado just prior to our move to Ohio. Atticus thought it was grand fun to look at the airplanes and helicopters. He was even able to climb inside a few and sit in the cockpit. There was a lot of commotion and noise with planes taking off and landing with more regularity than we imagined -- but Atticus did a great job with the noise. It may help that we've also been reading a book from the library called The Noisy Airplane Ride. :-) Regardless, the kids had fun and it was nice to get out and walk around outside.

When we got home and got the little ones settled into naps, I snuck out to get in a little crafting time. Whew. I don't think I'll ever finish the kids scrapbooks - but at least I've made some progress. The afternoon was spent going on a walk, playing in the house, eating, etc. (I'm starting to get excited that soon we will all be eating the same thing for dinner!)

Sunday morning, we let Greg sleep in a little bit and the kids and I goofed off and finished "signing" our cards for Daddy. Atticus was very excited to show off his handy work! We squeezed in another nice walk around the neighborhood and then we met another little guy out for a stroll, Gavin. Atticus and Gavin (who will be 3 in September) hit it off and the two of them were playing on the tricycles, blowing bubbles, playing "fireman" in the backyard with the hose, etc while Greg got the chance to say hi and talk to Gavin's grandpa. Turns out the grandpa is about to retire as Vice President of the local community college. They had a nice chat and the boys had a blast. We hope Gavin comes to visit his grandparents again soon!

After naps, we packed up the family and headed down to visit with Grandma Baden and Papa. Atticus loves to visit Papa, but has a hard time staying put in Grandpa's room. We must have chased him up and down the hallway a few dozen times over the course of two hours!! The kids then got a treat and we stopped at McDonald's for dinner. :-) Whew.
