Nephew Time!!!

My Brother-in-law Jeremy came and picked Karsyn & I up Friday afternoon so I could babysit my nephews for the weekend while Jeremy & Kristin went to Lake Okoboji with some friends! Mike had to play softball in Madison at 10pm the the last tourny game of the season, and we had a wedding in S.Falls on Sat.

We got down their and gave the kids a snack, then got them ready for Karate, which was at 6pm, I was so excited to take them to karate so I could watch them! We got their and were waiting for class to start when an instructor told me that their session had been cancelled due to blackbelt testing... The boys and I were both bummed out, but we decided to go out for supper and a movie instead.

We headed over to Burger King and had kids meals and Icecream, the kids were great and ate like little champs just in time to make it back to the theater for Over The Hedge to start. The kids picked the front of the theater and sat through the whole movie, which I was very impressed about!

The wedding was at 5pm, and I still had to get some errands done before that, so Sat morning I got all 3 kids bathed dressed and fed and then ventured out to Lewis Drug, The Mall and Walmart, talk about a zoo and my stress level went up about 3 notches but we managed through. I then met Mike, his Dad, his Little brother Justin, and Kaiden at Shopko (Mike had an eye appointment there). I sent the kids with Lowell and Justin, and Mike, Karsyn and I went to the dollar store to get wrapping for the wedding gifts. While we were out, we went out for pizza. Karsyn thought it was pretty cool that she got to go out for lunch with just the 3 of us. It was fun! We then hustled home so I could iron outfits for all 3 boys and myself, plus get Karsyn's hair and myself ready before we needed to leave for the wedding.

The wedding was beautiful, everyone looked great, and the kids were so well behaved! I am sure everyone at the wedding thought Mike and I were crazy with 4 kids that looked about the same age!!!! We the then went to the reception and dance where we had a wonderful meal and the kids played out on the playground! There were tons of kids their ages so they had a great time! Karsyn wanted to stay for the dance so we let her dance with the other kids. We then did the $ dance and she and Austin got to dance with both the bride and the groom! About 10:30 we decided to get the kids home to bed, so Mike had one dance with Karsyn and then out the door we went! It was a fun night, and it was great to see some of Mike's family that we haven't seen in a while. And all of the new additions! Two of Mike's cousins had babies recently so it was so fun to see them as well!
