Here comes the Arends Clan!!!

We had some visitors this last weekend. It was kinda of un-expected, but that seems to work out better than trying to plan something!!! I talked to Pam Arends on Thursday morning and her husband was going to be gone all weekend and the kids didn’t have school on Friday because of Parent Teacher Conferences, so if we weren’t doing anything, they were going to come on down!!! I told her to start packing her bags!!!
The got to our house about 6ish on Friday night and Noah got his second wind when they come. He was pretty excited to have some other kids to play with!!! We had some Papa Murphy’s pizza and hung out at the house. On Saturday morning we got up and had some breakfast and then me, Pam and her kids left to go shopping. We left Rick and Noah at home to do some man stuff! They actually hung the Christmas lights on the house and Rick even set up the Christmas Tree in our entry way. Seems way too early for Christmas already!!!! I’m not sure when I’ll decorate the tree, but I think it will be at least another week or two.
When we got home from shopping, we told the kids that we would hook up the microphones and they could sing, play guitar and drum and then they could play the Wii. So it was noisy for awhile!!!! And then the competitions got going on the Wii!!! We decided to grill out for dinner and then we ended up having Movie Night later on.
It was a great weekend for them to come down. It was nice and warm all weekend, so we didn’t have to worry about any weather.

We want to thank you again!!!! The kids absolutely loved it!! They’re already talking about coming again….but, don’t worry, we’ll give you guys some time to recoperate!!!! lol!! Next time we WILL buy the baby something pink too!!!!! ;o)
