Jan 4 - 13, I enjoyed 10 days with the Guymon's. I got to snuggle with McKenna and lots of hugs from the boys and Deeann. Tyler was happy not to be doing housework and laundry.
This is Jacob's favorite spot to sit on the sofa. The two boys love to play MarioKart. Sometimes I helped Andrew and I was really glad that he didn't care if we got last place. I'm not that good at the Wii games.
One night we took pictures of McKenna while she was asleep. You can see, she is a very happy baby.
I found some car kits at Michael's for a dollar and we had fun painting the wood and assembling the cars. They did a good job and learned that they could do it. I learned that the paint didn't come out of their clothes and felt really bad.

After we were finished with the cars the boys and I walked to the library which is 1.13 miles aways. It was good to get out of the house and go for a walk. Deeann met us there and gave us a ride back home.
We went to two different museums. The boys enjoy experimenting and learning. It's great that they can have these experiences. I love to watch them play and use their imaginations.
This room with the brain waves lets you have a contest to show whom has the least brain waves. I won that contest. I wonder if that means something?
This was one of our Sunday activities. The boys had fun painting. Jacob is very particular, Andrew likes to use all the pens at once.
Tyler, Jacob, Andrew and I went sledding while Deeann & McKenna went to the store. The hill was the perfect length for the ride and the walk back up. I only felt every bump that I hit for two days. There is a lake by the hill where people were ice skating. I went over to see if I could slide on my sled or walk on the ice. NOPE! My feet flew out from under me so fast. I had a hard time getting back off the lake. It's good I hadn't used the sled to slide out a long way.

The boys like to be sung to at bed time. I was elected each night to do the singing. I'm glad they don't mind the sound, and just enjoyed the intent. I taught them a new song, "Kindness begins with Me" and "The Chapel Doors".
I got to learn how to drive around in Concord by going this way or that way, not by going North or East. My directions there are messed up. After the first two days of a few U-turns to get to the right place, I did ok.
Each morning I took Jacob to school. One day I took McKenna with me so Deeann could sleep. I also took some recycling to another location to recycle. I left the car running so McKenna wouldn't get cold, but when I got out of the car my elboy touched the lock, the door closed and there we were, McKenna locked in and me locked out. I immediately prayed for a miracle that the door would open. It didn't happen, but McKenna stayed asleep for the 50 minutes until we were rescued, so my prayer for a miracle was answered, just not my solution. Deeann ended up borrowing the neighbors car, getting Tyler's key and coming to open the door.
Of course a trip to Concord isn't complete without a game of candlestick bowling. Deeann & I went and enjoyed a little mom-daughter time. I had to use my left hand a couple of times to get any pins down.
It was really hard to say goodbye.
