Cousin Week!

My sweet cousins have come to stay with me for a week, and today marks the first day of our many adventures!  Lord willing, we'll be able to do several fun things around Dallas this week - some familiar, some brand new.  I asked them to remind me to take pictures of everything...after I realized I'd already failed at documenting what we did today.  But here's an overview anyway! :)

Annabel and Allison were dropped off at my Cousin Ashley's house mid-morning, and we decided to stick around for awhile.  Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head were obviously in need of makeovers, so we worked with the little ones to make them fancy...

Annabel got a little distracted...:)

 After that, Olivia had the great idea of playing dress-up, but for some reason Annabel was the only one really changing costumes.  I think Olivia took it upon herself to make sure Annabel was making the best use of the costume box.

A quick bite of Chick-fil-a, and we were off!  The girls and I stopped for some frozen yogurt to discuss the week's plans, and then we made the trek back to Dallas.

Upon arrival, we went grocery shopping for the week's food (I love grocery shopping with two helpers!).  For dinner we made beef tacos, enjoyed homemade shakes for dessert, and settled in to begin Anne of Green Gables.  I wasn't sure how the girls would respond to it...I think the beginning was a bit rough for them (we actually took a break and played Bananagrams), but once we had pajamas and our stuffed animals, we tried again and were hooked.  They didn't want to turn it off!  Or wait...maybe I didn't want to turn it off...

A great start to our week!  Thanks, Aunt Becky and Uncle Mark, for trusting me with your girls!
