Weekend in Detroit

Published October 22, 2007 by Erin

We spent this past weekend in MI with Kevin’s family. We had 3 birthday’s to celebrate and it had been a while since we had all been together. It was a great weekend with great weather! Kevin’s sister and family came in too, which made 13 people spending the weekend all in one house. Lots of bonding time. :)

On Friday night we got to spend some time with some friends, Kris & Heather (Kevin’s friend from church and his fiance).  They had us over for fondue.  How fun!  It was great to be able to get some time away without kids and have “adult” conversations. :)
We went to the Cider Mill / Orchard / Pumpkin Patch on Saturday which was fun. The kids had fun picking pumpkins (so did the adults) and when we got home we carved them. Watched some football in the afternoon and celebrated birthdays that night.

Ethan loves to play with his cousins and always goes through a couple days withdrawal when we get home.

All in all, it was a great weekend and we look forward to being together again at Christmas.

    It was lots of fun, we will have to make it an annual along with our Oct. birthdays. That was indeed the best pumpkin patch i had ever seen. And God really blessed us with such a beautiful day.
    Thanks for the reminder with these pictures.
    Hugs to the boys!
    Mom

      Samuel has a new room!!  Well, it’s a shared room, but at least he has a corner now!

      I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.

      This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.

      We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago.  It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip.  Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)

      When your Daring Child is also your Clumsy Child that child will invariably be your Injury-Prone Child.
