A Weekend of Boy Fun

This weekend was just a ton of fun for Evan, but we all managed to enjoy ourselves a little.  Evan and his cousin Lanny had been plotting a sleepover for a while so we finally managed to arrange that for them.  Lanny is the second of four children so he enjoys getting to "escape" from the zoo for a little while.  Of course, he does bring a little of the zoo with him wherever he goes.  His mommy said his house was way too quiet while he was away.  The whole Smith zoo actually came over on Friday evening to play a little after dinner, and they left Lanny for the night.  All of the kids (including little Cate, the youngest of the crew, and Uncle Paul, the oldest) enjoyed a big light sabre duel!  On Saturday afternoon, Evan had a birthday party to attend for a little boy in his preschool class.  He and Alejandro will also go to the same school for kindergarten as Alejandro lives in our neighborhood.  The boys had a blast playing together at Space Kidets, a little fun playplace with bouncy moonwalk type fun, and Evan enjoyed seeing his favorite girl, Ashlee, too!  On Sunday, we enjoyed a great church service and then ate our traditional Sunday lunch with Uncle Paul's family at Brio.  We then went home to nap, do the week's laundry, and get ready for another week.  Daddy had to get ready to leave town today for a little trip to Atlanta, and we also had to make a little trip to Target for a few groceries and necessaries for the week.  All in all, it was a pretty typical weekend for us!

Yes, even the girls (Emma and Cate) like light sabres and Star Wars!

Cate and Brody playing together.  Aren't they the cutest?

Evan and cousin Lanny having a slumber party!  Eating popcorn, watching Batman, wearing pajamas, playing in a tent, staying up late, etc., etc., etc.

Popcorn...yum!  

Flying spaceships. 

Evan's buddy, Alejandro, enjoyed his birthday party.

Silly kid!

Here comes Evan!

Shooting hoops in a room with bouncy floors is not as easy as it looks!

Brody joins the fun after waking from his nap.

Miss Ashlee enjoys jumping and sliding in style!

Man, that kid sweats when he's playing hard!

Awww, this is Luca, Alejandro's little brother!  Isn't he just a doll?

The big birthday boy.

Pure sweetness!

Sitting like Mommy.  We both had fun in the moonwalk!

My sweet boys.

Sweet big brother kisses.

That's one happy baby!

Mommy left him in there, but he found her.

Climbing out by himself.

Evan and Alejandro enjoying their ice cream.

Miss Ashlee had a friend to play with too.

Sweet boy.  His eye was red and swollen from one too many  pokes to the eye with a light sabre the night before.

Happy Birthday, Alejandro!

Evan much rather prefers ice cream to cake.

He loved this little mini-golf set in the arcade room.

Brody enjoyed riding the snow mobile with big brother.

Alejandro telling his friend, Ashlee, goodbye.

And of course, Evan had to give her a hug!

Brody hid under the table with his golf club.

He enjoyed learning to play golf.

Brody knows how to get a hole in one!

I might have to set Daddy to work making us a little mini-golf course at home.  These were so cute.

Daddy and Evan enjoyed a game of air hockey.

Evan just had to have this Spiderman web shooter.  We all paid the price!

Silly string was everywhere!

Thank goodness it cleans up easily!

Yes, I got it too!

And the baby, of course!
