Rylie Dawn B!!!!

Madeline has been calling Rylie "Rylie Dawn B" just about all week. Rylie asked me a couple of days ago why she keeps calling her that? I told her that Madeline loves her, and we only give extra names to the ones we love. I think she was happy with that.This week as been cousins week. Let me give you a little rundown of what we have been doing.

Monday: I had Taylor, Rylie and of course my own Sunday night and Monday night. Monday I thought that the kids would play and i could get my laundry done but by lunch I realized that that was not going to happen so I put the laundry away and we went to the park. We had a picnic and played until about 4:30. When we got home we got our swimming gear on and headed to Garett and Hayley's for pizza and swimming. Thanks! Hayley has some great pictures of the evening.
Tuesday: Emity came with her kids Sarah and Shelby and we took the kids to the park to play and then to the movie Ice Age II. After that Emity swapped out Sarah for Taylor and Sarah got to have a sleepover (FINALLY) at my house with the little girls. Tuesday night we walked to the snow shack for a little sugar soaked snow before bed.

Wednesday: The girls played in the sprinklers, had a watter balloon fight, ( It took me 45 minutes to fill up the water balloons and 2 minute for them to break them all) tea party with Mac-n-Cheese, mini corn dogs and lemonade, (The tea party kind of fizzled when Sarah choked on her Tea and barfed on her plate) and a showing of Nim's Island (again). Sarah went home around 4:00pm. Jared had come home so I ran to the store to get the blow up swimming pool that I had promised Madeline before Andrey came at 6:00. They played and played, even though the water was to cold to hardly sit in they played in the pool until dark.

Thursday: I had just Madeline and Rylie so I loaded them up and we met Jared at Chick Fillet for lunch and then we went to buy some much needed diapers at Costco. When we got home we made bright pink rice krispie treats and then dipped them in different colors of white chocolate. It was very fun and very messy. After that we went to Tempanyaki for dinner. Every thing that the chef put on the grill Rylie would lean over to me and ask "Do I have to eat that?" It was a pretty stressful dinner for her I think. She ended up tasting every thing that we asked her to and even ate most of the things that she tasted.

Friday: Today we are playing hop scotch while we wait for Andrey to come. When he gets here and after the baby wakes up we are going to try and go to the park for a picnic and to release some energy. I have learned this week that kids are so much more manageable when they are worn out!

I have been a pretty lame mom since the baby was born, but I think that I have made up for it this week. We have had a ton of fun. I even got a load of laundry done. Rylie is staying one more night with us and then she is going back to Price with Garrett and Hayley tomorrow. We are sure going to miss her.

Looks like so much fun. How will I entertain her when she's home? :) Thank you so much for taking Rylie for the week. I will have to print out your post to put in a journal of the fun she had with Madeline.
I think she was a bit confused with the Rylie Dawn B because as far as she knows, her name is Rylie B Dawn. Silly girl. Thank you, thank you!
