Staycation with the Boys

The great thing about getting back from our Vegas vacation on Wednesday night is that we have a 4 day weekend with the boys! We're gonna make a little staycation out of the long weekend.

This morning we went to Daddy Steve and Namaw's house to pick up Brody and Barrett. When we walked in the door, Brody immediately went into warp speed and began showing us everything he'd learned to do in the last week and everything that he'd played with. Barrett had a very different reaction. He was sitting on the floor when he looked up and saw us for the first time. He paused and stared at us for a few seconds and then threw himself on his face and started bawling! I guess he suddenly remembered that we'd left him and that he was supposed to be upset about it? It took me a good 10 minutes to get him calmed down.

When we got home, they played with their toys for a while and then went down for naps. After dinner, we took them to Target and let Brody pick out a movie (Ratatouille) and some movie snacks. I think we were still on Vegas time because on our way home we looked at the clock in the Durango and realized that it was already 8 pm! We put Barrett to bed but let Brody stay up late with us and watch the movie. That's what you're supposed to do on vacation...right?!
