Two weekends age we had invited cousin Kathy up for a sleepover with Annie. As a last (and good) minute decision we also invited cousin Gabe up too for Sam. The boys got along really well together. They played trains together and had a fun time taking a bubble bath together! (of course spraying each other and dumping water on each other is always a blast!)

Mark and I had taken the kids bowling Saturday night. Surprisingly even though Gabe is only three, he really enjoyed bowling two games. He alternated using the ramp or just pushing it between his legs.

Here Sam, Gabe, Annie and Kathy all stretched out to watch Mark bowl a frame. Mark ordered a new bowling ball and is picking it up this upcoming weekend. It smells like blueberries. According to current research, smelling a pleasant smell right before you bowl helps you focus. I'll let you know if it works! :)

Sunday morning after church all the kids wanted to play with moon sand. I am personally not a fan of moon sand for any of you reading this and thinking of purchasing it. You have to keep it in a container, it's messy (like fine powdery sand) and it does not stick together like play-dough. But, the kids enjoy playing with it once in a while, and then we get out the Dustbuster and they vacuum up their mess.

All in all it was a great weekend with the cousins! We will have to do it again sometime!
