local grandparents

What did we do with our children, you ask, while we had friends over for dinner? Well, let's just say that local grandparents come in handy! Especially ones that your children adore.

Sandi's recap: It was very interesting that after Tarzan played hats with Beckham, and then walked out of the room, Beckham started to cry. I reach out to pick him up and his two little hands purposely pushed me away. Tarzan carried him around until he got distracted again. The fire was a big hit. However, since we were not roasting marshmallows Cooper sat for about 15 minutes and then said, "Actually, I'm through with the fire." He took a flashlight and explored the dark.

I couldn't get the slideshow to upload here, but you can view photos of the evening here. Thanks a million to Tarzan and Sandi... picking up happy, exhausted children is every mother's dream!
