Candie's visit

Candie and Kevin came to visit us last weekend. There was a concert at Red Rocks amphitheatre that they wanted to see. We watched movies, walked around Old Town Fort Collins, Barbecued and generally had a great time. I loved having Candie and Kevin here and I really hope they enjoyed coming. I have found that any inconvenience from having people staying at our house is made up by the fact that we have the coolest family and that spending time with them ROCKS! Julia was helping out while the other kids decided to have a band. Lily had out her guitar and Isaac was usually playing the drums but he had switched to piano for the time being.
On Sunday they decided to turn on the programmed music on the piano and have a ballet recital. They all got tutu's on and danced for a quite awhile.
Candie had done a project with her activity day girls and wanted to do it with us. They made pumpkin shirts by putting elastics on the shirts and then Tye dying them. When they were done they drew jack-o-lantern faces on the circles left from the elastics.
This is Joe saying goodbye to Mia. They had a lot of fun together. Mia was totally okay doing pretty much anything Joe wanted to do, even if that was playing video games all day. I kept on having to kick Joe off the playstation so he would go and play with Mia outside. He loved showing her all the cool things he had learned to do.
Mmmm, the remaining spoils of Candie's visit. Candie bought this carmel apple while in Old Town on Saturday. She then forgot about it. We reminded her several times to eat it but she never got around to it. We didn't realize that she had forgotten it until late Sunday, after they had left. Well, we didn't think she would want us to save it until her next visit, so Dave and I had a very nice treat. Which filled a very small part of the hole from them being gone.

What cool Halloween shirts. Very creative! Isaac, yours looks especially creepywith all those spiders and everything. Good job, everyone. Looks like you had a great time.

Looks like you had a good time. And now I'm taking my turn invading someone else's space by staying with Candie for a few days. :) She told me about the fortress that the kids were making with chairs and wood. Sounds like a very safe endeavor.

Very safe endeavor. To tell you the truth we threw our hands up in the air and went shopping while the boys watched the kids.
