Cousin Fun

Aunt Glo and Abigail took a girls' weekend and came to Starkville to hang out with us.

Joshua was most excited that they picked him up from school on Friday and went to play on campus.  He told his teacher, "my mama's sister, my aunt, her name is Glo, she and my cousin Abigail are coming to get me on Friday, that is when we have show and tell and they are going to come pick me up."

 

Sadly we aren't going to be able to attend Abigail's birthday party this weekend.  Instead we had a "donuts in our pajamas" party Saturday morning.  Both kids were super excited and woke up earlier than we hoped in anticipation of going to the donut store.

Both were mesmerized by the walkie-talkies we gave Abigail.
Neither figured out the art of talking then listening  on the walkie-talkies so spent most of the rest of the morning holding the walkie-talkies to their mouths and yelling messages back and forth from room to room.

We went to play at the park and much to our surprise Mr. Bob (from this previous post) was there demonstrating how to play several new instruments on the music trail. 

Watching Joshua and Abigail play (or not play) together was funny.  They argued like siblings and then hugged sweetly when saying good-bye.
We had such a good time!
