Nina Arrives!!!

Nina Arrives!!!

------

Nina arrived on Saturday for her week long visit...and Mommy desperately was looking forward to her coming...It is always nice to have a helping hand with two little ones..and we got a lot done!! Nina and Mommy found fabric to make a curtain for Preston's room and found a rod to hang it (Nina sewed it up as if it were nothing), We picked up letters to put Ashten's name on the wall (now it just needs to be painted by Daddy), We found photo albums for both boys and put their pictures in them and a new memory box for Ashten to fill in the coming year, We finished and framed both Ashten and Preston's cross-stich that Mommy did while she was preggers, We painted frames for Preston's pictures, did lots of laundry and cleaning and shopping...but we also did a lot of fun stuff too....Such as taking the boys to storytime (twice), having a Halloween Party for his PT playgroup, going to Carolyn's Pumpkin patch for some outdoor fun, going out to eat and just doing some good ol shopping... I am sure I am missing a "million" other things that we did...but simply it was nice to have Nina around...and Mommy got to have a little breathing room for the week...and we were of course spoiled...

Preston opening one of a trillion "Nina treats" he got all week....

Ashten and Nina hanging out on the couch....he did NOT want to let go of her hand...like all infants...he loves being the center of attention and is completely happy as long as it remains that way--therefore why it is hard to accomplish much without assistance!

Preston and Nina hanging out on the couch (do you see a theme with my boys--they both LOVE hanging out!) I personally love the crossed legs and hand under the chin....this is commonly the way my son likes to watch TV....

and both of my boys LOVE to talk--Nina and Ashten carrying on a conversation...

(Seriously--I wonder where they get this from..not Mommy, right?)....

and Preston and Nina doing the same over lunch..
