Friday night fun

Last week was Spring Break for most Texas schools, and the boys got the special treat of spending TWO nights (not in a row) at Honey and Big's, with Morgan and Randi Kay on hand to help. It was wonderful to have a little break (and a date night with Ryan that Tuesday), but I was so excited for them to get home Friday evening -- I had missed those little stinkers!

Steph, Bret, Julie, and Stewart came over Friday night for dinner, and while the men were getting the food ready, the rest of us played outside and enjoyed the perfect spring weather.

R&G acted shy around Julie and Stewart at first, but they warmed up quickly and soon they were hamming it up just like normal.

Here's monkey Grant climbing up the rock wall:

 

 

 

{And howling like a wolf...}

And here's monkey Reid: 

 

And here's proof of just how much they warmed up to Julie:

Those are some pretty priceless hugs.

And of course, any time they get to spend with Aunt Sassy is pretty much guaranteed to be chock-full of fun. There was balance beam walking:

And of course there were several rounds of "Ring Around the Roses" -- or, as the boys call it, "Ashes ashes":

{They all fall DOWN!}

 

 

The falling turned into some brother wrestling:

Then Reid turned into the Tickle Monster and went after Grant and Aunt Sassy, resulting in some of my new favorite pictures:

 

 

 

 

It was a great night with sweet friends, made even more fun by these crazy boys.
