After having an extra little boy in the house for a week, we were in dire need of some girls to balance things out a bit - luckily George's mom and sisters came up to retrieve him and stayed for a couple of days!
Our super cute nieces Mallory, Courtney, and Lily
It was a quick trip, but the cousins fit in lots of fun. Melissa took her three older kids to a movie that isn't showing in Elko anymore, so I set Lily and Will and Clyde up on the boys' beds for a special 'movie afternoon'. They got bored with the movie pretty quickly, though, despite having about twenty different snacks during it :).
George and Clyde and Lily combined forces (complete with costumes for the boys) to rid the house of battle droids, although somehow Mallory got caught in the crossfire. Luckily she and her iPod came out pretty unscathed.
Lily indulged me and let me braid her hair. Let the record show that this is how any potential daughters would have to wear their hair day in and day out as it's all I know how to do. . .
Courtney spent most of her time sweetly tidying and organizing my home - straightening book shelves, closets, toys, and the boys' beds. Love that girl! (At one point Chuck asked her if she did this at home too, and she replied that it's more fun to do at other people's houses. Amen, sister).
Here's a shot of Courtney and her work in action, along with one of her reading with Clyde and a [cut-off, whoops!] picture of the canvas she painted for Jack's room.
We fit in an epic shopping trip to Saver's while they were here, but all too quickly it was time for them to head out - here are some shots of the farewells. We love you guys, see you in a few weeks for the family reunion camping trip!!
