Little Buddies

The year that I was pregnant with Hayden, two of my sisters were also expecting. The best part is that we were all due within a month. Justice was born first, then 2 weeks later Sydnee came along, then finally 2 weeks after that Hayden arrived. Not only was that a fun summer with lots of baby showers and births (my mom was in heaven, I'm sure), but they had instant buddies! We wish Sydnee lived closer so we could get the three of them together, but Justice and Hayden are great friends. They will be in preschool together again starting next week and they (and their moms) can't wait! :) We decided to go pick up Justice and bring him over for some cousin fun. Hayden wanted him to bring over his back-hoe (we all know how much Hayden loves to dig in the dirt) but it rained the night before and the dirt was now mud... so I told them they'd have to dig inside. Well, what is there to dig in the house? BEANS! I dumped out a bag of dry beans, and they were entertained for the longest time!

Then they went outside for a little bit to watch some of the construction that is STILL going on near our house. (Gives me a bit of anxiety... it's EVERYWHERE, I tell you!) They weren't supposed to dig in the dirt outside, but it's like a magnet to Hayden, and before I knew it, they were digging! So I made them come inside, and told them that if they would clean up all the beans, we would make a treat. They were great little cleaning machines, so we headed upstairs to make Rice Krispie Treats!! They had fun pouring and stirring (and eating, of course!)

Thanks for coming to play, Justice. Hayden always loves to have you over. It was super fun!
