A fun week....

We had some visitors this past week. My sister and her girls came and stayed from Friday to Friday. It was so nice to have them here with us we have missed them a ton. For me it was like vacation they played with the boys carried the baby around and gave me a much needed break. It was great. Here is our picture story.

 The boys love it when we have company because we blow up a mattress and they get to sleep in our room. Quite a treat for them.

 We celebrated Ethans and Christophers b-day. They got to open some presents from the girls.

 Ethan trying out his new toy mowing with daddy :)

Baby loving his new swing.

 Madzia was quite determined to catch a gecko. She walked around with a net for probably over an hour and got all of us to look for one. Uncle Neal finally did catch one. Usually you can see them all over but I guess that they are much harder to see when you are actually looking for them :)

 Boys got to have an egg hunt. The girls stuffed eggs with candy and money and hid them all over. Boys had a blast looking for them all.

 While Madzia and I went for a run on Sunday Aunt ula and the kids decorated some eggs. Boys had a super fun time doing this.

 So fun!

 We did some hanging out in the back yard :) 

 A whole lot of playing in the front with the neighbors. We actually had to hose down driveway and sidewalks every night because we were ut of room for chalk coloring :)

 

My running partner and I. We went for runs just about every day :) This girl is in shape let me tell ya. 

 We spent some time at the beach this is Folly beach :)

 My little beach baby!

 We stopped by and visited the Angel Oak on our way to Beachwalkers beach.

 So awesome.......I love it

 Daddy and baby sleeping :)

 Awwww....pure LOVE!!!! Hubby and I got to go on a date one night. Neal was not feeling well but he was a trooper. We went downtown Charleston and walked around down there. Went out to this amazing hibachi bar and are way too much yummy food including some amazing sushi. Then we walked down to the pier and got to swing a bit on their awesome swings then we went to see a movie :) I can;t even remember the last time we went to see a movie. It was fun and relaxing and to be honest this was the 1st time I did not even think about the kids. It was just nice to get away for a while. I needed it.

 I just love downtown. One of these days I want to go on my own for a day and just have fun with my camera. So beautiful.

 The pier.

 

One of the many fountains down there. 

 Another day at the beach....it was a much cooler day :( still fun tho we just walked around.

 L.O.V.E.

 

This might just become a canvas print :)

 Have I mentioned that I love it here :)

 Then we decided to have lunch on the pier but ended up going to eat inside because we got too cold.

Hehe....I also gave the girls manicures and pedicures. Little strawberries....are these cute or what.

We had a blast and did not want them to leave but all good things must come to an end. Now we can look forward to the next time they come out and see us ;)
