monday - dave at conference, denise with kiddos

Monday Dave went to his conference. His talk was about 3pm in the afternoon. The kids and I stayed at home Monday am and did some laundry. Then we went back up to Annapolis to hang out with grandma. She had some fun activities for the kids - spider cookies, mummy hot dogs. Calvin did more Kumilomb and we went to the craft store to get more materials for his Kumilomb. dave met us after his conference and we had pizza for dinner at grandmas house. We drove home late again but Calvin was so busy crafting he didn't fall asleep.

Dave and I had driven separately since we had two cars up in Annapolis. Dave took the kids home and I got to enjoy so peace and quiet with just JoAnne in my car.

Dave came home to the wrong house. He picked up Lex who was sound asleep and unloaded the other kids. He started walking in the house, opened the storm door and hear a huge dog barking!! He ran back to the car and told the kids to run back to the car too!! They were just a couple of doors down from Scott's house and made it safely home. I told dave we should go back to that house and tell them that their guard dog works!!! We have tested our dog and know that our guard dog does not work (as a guard dog). hmmm, I wonder how tressel is doing without us.

*at the end of the week the kids said that they thought their favorite part of the trip was hanging out at grandmas house.

a quick FHE at grandma and grandpa's house. grandpa read a scripture with two very silly girls behind him as Calvin worked on his craft.
calvin busy at the Kumilomb
trooper baby
ALexey LOVED the cats! This particular cat happened to love Lex back, which is quite unusual for any animal to love the torture that lex inflicts.
The cat also loved Calvin. He was working on his Kumilomb and the cat came and cuddled on his chest. It was very sweet.


tired baby but super cute hat!

I LOVE the cat picture with Alexey! So cute! I bet it is so nice for your kids to be at Dave's parents house and experience that side of the grandma/grandpa stuff.

Tim and I did d.c. in med school and I remember how big arlington is. Big enough, there is a stop there from the metro. Your kids are troopers to do that walk.
