It was a busy weekend. Greg and I were off Thursday and Friday for some vacation time, and my sisters came in for a visit. Thursday we spent most of the day catching up on house chores. Caleb and I snuck in lots of fun time too since Thursday is are usual fun day. We talked dad into taking a break and going to the park with us. 
Caleb brought his soccer ball to kick around with daddy, he met an older playmate too. 
It was cute watching him meet his new friend and engaging him in the soccer game. We let Caleb stay up later since uncle Rhett and aunt Dani were coming in that evening. 
Caleb was so excited by their arrival, his was actually giddy. I haven't seen him so hyper without sugar being involved. The next morning he was still on a natural high when things continued to escalate with the arrival of my older sister Steph and her two kiddos, Logan (4) and Dylan (2). Caleb and his cousins had a great time all weekend with the normal "it's mine", "no mine" arguments intermixed. They survived, but my house is another story. I had planned to take everyone to the pumpkin patch in Flower Mound, but Caleb must have picked up the stomach virus going around daycare, so are plans were limited. He threw up Friday after his nap, while we were at the park to play. Then all was fine, so I was praying he just had an upset stomach with the excitement and car ride. We continued to enjoy our time at the park. Aunt Dani played referee between Logan and Caleb.
Steph helped tow the kids across the play yard under the direction of Caleb.
The kids really seem to have a good time. 
But then later after dinner, Caleb threw up again, on poor aunt Dani. Wonderful! Again after that he felt better and wanted to continue playing. I am not quite sure what we're looking at below, but apparently it was very interesting.
Saturday morning Caleb woke much dehydrated and weak, only wanting mommy and with no effort made to play with the cousins. Now that's seriously ill! He ate some bland foods and stuck to pediolyte and water the rest of the day, and after nap time he was back to normal. Kids are amazing. Now everyone is just crossing their fingers, and praying we won't get this 24 hour bug. We watched the UT game, only by force, and the Texas Tech game. Both successful ventures for our teams. Actually, both my sisters and my brother-in-law went to UT, so Greg and I were outnumbered. They even brainwashed Caleb into saying "hook em horns". I tried to counter with "go Tech" and "get your guns up", which Caleb used to have memorized. But Caleb said "no mommy, hook em horns"! I am doomed. My parents will probably disown him now. (They both went to Texas Tech too.) 
Since we were short on time, we went to another park that afternoon instead of the pumpkin patch, and took uncle Rhett and daddy this time. 
Again the boys loved all the climbing, "driving", and sliding they could do together. 
Even the "big kids" enjoyed their outing.
And these are the role models? What poor examples!

That night we went over to our aunt Jill and uncle Stu's house for a mini reunion. We had a great time cooking out and catching up. 
Overall, even with the stomach virus bout, we had a great weekend. I was sad to see everyone go!
