One of my very good friends from WVU brought her two sons to visit us this weekend, and boy did we get a lesson on how different life would be like if we had boys in our family!
 |
| Preston and Quinn-- isn't he such a cutie-pie? Quinn thought so, she followed him around ALL weekend |
 |
| the Barr girls gave Quinn a Dr. kit for her birthday-- now we are all constantly being checked on |
 |
| On Saturday we had planned to go to the aquarium--- this is how far we actually made it (our back yard!) Sure does take a lot of coordination for 2 moms and 4 kids! |
 |
| It was a beautiful day though and really nice to get out & play |
 |
| This is Ethan-- another cutie. He is such the typical boy toddler-- runs over anything and everything and if something is in his way, he picks it up & moves it aside. A little bulldozer!! |
 |
| the boys were both so sweet to the girls though-- they were rough & tough with each other but patient little gentlemen when it came to Quinn & Kathryn |
 |
| Kristen is always on top of things-- don't know how she does it, boys require SO much more energy! |
 |
| Quinn did a lot of observing and following around this weekend-- usually not her style but aside from her cousins, she hasn't played with too many boys in her lifetime |
 |
| After naps, we ventured out to the park, where Quinn again followed Preston around and tried to do everything he did |
 |
| I tried to take more pictures, but the playground is huge and Kathryn & I had a tough time chasing after Quinn, who was chasing after Preston! |
This morning Quinn was pretty bummed to learn that the boys had left to go home
 |
| but she pulled herself together, fixed her sister's hair |
 |
| and went back to posing for pictures! |
 |
| and while we had a BLAST this weekend, I'd like to say, "Thank Heaven for Little Girls"! |
Thanks so much Kristen, Preston, & Ethan for visiting us, I know it was not an easy trip, but we sure did appreciate it!!!
LOVED this post. boys are a different world. but i'm on the other end- i don't know how you'll do it with 2 girls. i could raise boys all day long. oh wait...i do. but girls are just a whole 'nother ballgame. our one lady keeps us more than busy. she said last week after school, "mommy, i'm so tired of being cute all the time. too many boys like me when i'm this cute." seriously? 9. years. old. i'm glad you got a taste of boy-dom though- even if just for the weekend. it will make you appreciate your sweet friend. your sweet sister-in-law. and your sweet mother-in-law. and then...maybe, just maybe, you'll consider trying one more time for a little boy. there is nothing in the world like them. they each have my whole entire heart. of course, so does mary frances. <3
