This past summer, Pete and I offered to take our niece and nephew, Haydn and Bennett (going on 7 and 5), over night sometime. It all started because I remembered when I was little staying at my aunt and uncle’s houses overnight and having a lot of fun. I actually used to sleep right between my Aunt Jayne and Uncle Terry all the time when I was little! So we set it up to have them overnight from 9/9 – 9/10. Dave brought the kids up around 5 on Friday night.
I did learn a few things this past weekend. I love them dearly but I can only imagine how busy they keep Dave and Karee! Haydn wanted to borrow a liitle purse of mine, so we filled it with chapstick, gum and old gift cards. She decided she wanted to “drive” so she was sitting in my car with Bennett, no keys, don’t worry! Suddenly my car alarm started going off...and no, it’s never gone off before so I had no clue what to do. The kids were panicking that something was about to explode and my neighbor PJ came out laughing at me (he’s the same age as Pete and I) and helped me figure out how to turn it off. So that was the end of “pretend driving” J After Pete got home, he played baseball in the front yard for a bit with Bennett while Haydn modeled some of my high heels for me. Our other friend Brenda, brought her son Colton over too. The kids all of a sudden, went running into PJ’s backyard. Haydn saw an open window and yelled in to PJ “HELLO???” PJ started laughing and said “Hi.....” so I grabbed the kids and we decided they needed more space to run J We took the kids down to the lake for a bit and they put their feet in and played on the swing set there in the sand. Then we grabbed some pizza and headed home! We decided to have a bonfire in the backyard and roast some S’mores and tell “scary” stories, which basically ended up with us making up names for each other and talking about what we did all night. We came inside and watched Spiderman for a little while and they snuggled with Izzy. The kids went too bed by 9:45 and Pete and I went shortly after because we were pretty tired ourselves!

Saturday morning I got up at 6:15 to get ready for the Badger game that I was going to with my friend Jackie. I was in the shower about 10 minutes when Haydn and Bennett appeared in the bathroom wide awake lol. They went and woke up Uncle Pete, who tried to convince them to go back to bed since it was early, but no luck J They watched some cartoons for a bit, watched me get ready and asked me a bunch of questions about what I was doing. Pete made them some breakfast and I left home by 7:15 with Jackie for Madison. Pete took Haydn and Bennett to Lakeland to run around on the football field and in the gym before meeting Dave at 11:30 for drop off.
Meanwhile....the Badger Game was awesome, always is! Badgers won 35-0!! WOO HOO! I met up with Nick there as well for a bit at half time. After the game, Jackie and I headed back! Pete was gone at his own football game down in Kenosha, which started at 7pm which I wasn't able to make. Unfortunately, they ended up losing L Poor guys! Pete spent the majority of Sunday doing yard work a.k.a. fuming about the game, but whatever works! I do have to say, my yard looks great now! Love you Pete J

This weekend, we’re heading back home for my cousin Erin’s wedding! I can not wait to see all my cousins and relatives!! Especially my cousin Tom who is back from Italy where he’s in the Air Force. It’s been awhile!! I am slightly nervous to see which one of my cousins, brothers or husband for that matter, will get in the most shenanigans that evening! As long as Kyle isn't hanging from a tree, Pete's shoes stay on, Nick and Matt don't get sick, and a few other thousand instances i WON'T mention, we should be okay! :)
