A Weekend at Home

We finally had a chance to go home this past weekend. The kids were very excited, even though Tabitha kept saying "no home, baby house". This meant that she wanted to stay at the apartment. She calls it the "baby house". On the way home the drive went surprisingly quickly. We did stop at KFC for some food. Note to self: NO CORN ON THE COB IN THE CAR! Who knew when you asked for corn at KFC that it comes as a HUGE piece of corn on cob, and on top of it, it's on a stick. Tabitha ate not only her piece but Ethan's too!

As you can see it turned into a huge mess!


When we arrived home it was like two kids in a candy shop. They went running from toy to toy and played with everything in site. Everyone enjoyed sleeping in their beds and how bright it was inside the house when we woke up. Now I know our apartment really is in a hole!

We had a great stay at home. We went to Caleb's birthday party which was a lot of fun! I think the kids bounced in the bounce house for at least 2 hours straight. We watched the VT football team too. Go Hokies! Yes, they won and we are so happy! We also went and visited Bailey at Granny and Grandad's house. It was very good to see her. As soon as she saw us get out of the car she howled (which I have never heard her do) and came running at us full force. That can be pretty scary when she weighs 100 pounds!

On Sunday it was time to pack up and go back to the "baby house". By this point Tabitha was saying "no baby house, home". So now she didn't want to come back and she was very upset. I think it was because she was leaving all of her toys. She quickly recovered once we were on the road and back in Blacksburg.
