Kurt was gone for 5 days this week. He started out in Indiana to visit his Grandparents, and then on to Ohio for a Team/Monavie convention. We were a little bummed that we didn't get to go too, so we made the most of it and had a very fun, busy week!
******************************************
Wednesday: Dropped Kurt off at the airport then Brooklyn had a play date with her friend Finley. Brooklyn kept calling her "Beautiful Finley". Here they are making mud pies outside.
And yes, Brooklyn was actually having fun. She doesn't usually like to do anything that gets her dirty. I was surprised. It didn't last long though. When she noticed mud on her hands she wanted them washed off and that was it...
My flash didn't go off on this one. Here is Finley showing off her cool shades!
The girls playing with bubbles. These two are only about a month apart in age and sure do love getting together to play!
Finley wondering why Brooklyn wasn't coming to chase her. She was all ready!
Trenton found a good spot on the couch to take a nap!
Brooklyn painting with some cool water colors! (and paying attention to some cartoons at the same time).
Trenton playing with some of Finley's toys. He likes play dates too~
The girls hanging out in Finley's room. Brooklyn cracks me up here. She was laying on the bed talking on a pretend phone. My friend says, "Come take a look at what your future has to hold."
It was really hard to leave my friend's house that night though. They are moving out of state in the next couple weeks. She has been a really good friend of mine for the past 10 years. I sure am going to miss her, her husband and their "Beautiful Finley".

Thursday: Trenton had solid foods for the first time, if that's what you want to call rice cereal. He actually did pretty good.
Gave a few funny faces, but most of it ended up in his tummy! Brooklyn kept telling me she wanted some so I said ok and gave her the spoon. She took one look and said "No thank you, that's for babies." I guess it wasn't too appealing. I don't blame her!
I guess he was having fun with it too. Little flirt... always has a smile on his face.
Brooklyn showing off the pretty dress she brought home from Finley's house.
Trenton resting on the couch watching some Baby Einsteins.
I didn't get any pictures, but Thursday was the first time I've gone grocery shopping with both kids at once. Usually I just leave them home with Daddy! They actually did very well. Brooklyn sat in the front seat of the cart and I wore Trenton in the Baby Bjorn. We went to Babies R Us, Walmart, Walgreens and then stopped for pizza for lunch. It was fun!
**************************************
Friday: The kids and I went over to my parents house to play with my nephew. It was my cousin's birthday so we loaded the kids up and walked over to my aunt's house. Here are Brooklyn and Tanner in the wagon. Brooklyn had some new sunglasses so she was excited!
Trenton was all ready to go in the stroller.
This is a different cousin's son. He's a big boy just like Trenton... actually he's bigger. Trenton is only about 2 weeks older than him. We sure know how to grow big babies! :)
My flash didn't go off so this one is dark. I just had to include it though. Trenton decided to chew on someone else's fingers. They must have tasted good. It will be so fun to have these boys so close in age growing up together. They are going to have so much fun running around when they get bigger.
Tanner had to get in the picture too. He just loves babies!!!
Friday night I met up with some other friends of mine (whose husbands were also out of town at the convention with Kurt). We had dinner and let the kids play on the toys at San Tan mall. Brooklyn was excited to have dinner out.
Playing on the slide. There were so many kids there. I ended up not getting as much conversation with my friends because I was so busy keeping an eye on Brooklyn so nobody could snatch her!
Having a seat with Nash. I couldn't get her to sit still long enough to take a nice picture. She was having too much fun!
She loved walking on the ledge surrounding the play area. It was a little less crowded there I guess.
We had a great time and it was nice to catch up with my friends.
****************************************
Saturday: Our busy week must have caught up with us. I slept in until almost 10 and the kids didn't get up until 10:30. It was so nice!!! That never happens!
Spent most of the day doing laundry and chores getting ready for Daddy to come home.
Here is Trenton having a snooze. I guess he thought his binky was better off in his hand than his mouth. Silly boy!
Brooklyn kept folding her arms saying "Brrr, it's cold. I need my snow hat!" So, she wore it around the house for a bit.
And that about wraps up our week. We took lots of pictures so Kurt could see what we've been up to while he was away. It took a few days for Brooklyn to realize he was gone. When she started asking about him I told her he'd be back on Sunday. She said "I love Sunday". I guess she's ready to hug her Daddy!
It has been quite interesting being a "single parent" for the week. The kids behaved and we made it through with no problems. I think we'll all be happy to see Daddy though!
