Tri Fecta

We had a nice visit with Cindy and Josh and the kids this weekend. The National Downs Syndrome Congress National Conference was in Boston this year and Cindy and Josh took advantage of our close proximity to attend workshops on Saturday and Sunday.
The kids all stayed here for the weekend. On Saturday we discovered that the trim around our French Door leading out to the deck was rotten. Lee and Trevor spent most of the day taking off trim, reflashing the door and replacing the trim. Grandma and Grandpa came for lunch and it was nice to have another pair of hands and eyes to keep track of the toddlers. Boy.. they are speedy. Breanna spent part of the afternoon constructing a structure of sticks, leaves and flower blossoms in the driveway. She may be a budding architect!! Lucas took a marathon nap for the afternoon from 12:30 'til 4.
On Sunday Lee had to go to Maine for one of his few gigs this summer. He was also going to stop at the lake to do a few chores and check on some work that had been done during the week. I was by myself with the kids. Here's how our day went: Breanna and Lucas threw their breakfast plates on the floor for the dogs, we played blocks and cars, went upstairs to get dressed and brush teeth (that took about an hour before everyone was ready to go outside), went outside to play with the dogs and run around, chased Bre and Lucas all over the yard and down the driveway, had lunch, did a craft project.

Quote of the weekend: (As we brought Bre and Lucas back from running down the driveway)
Gammie: What ever happened to playpens?
Trevor: What's a playpen....?

The kids all fell asleep in the car on the trip back to Maine and Gammie wasn't far behind :)
