Nick & Janet

My sister Janet and her new husband Nick came to visit for the weekend!  We were so excited ! We rarely get visitors and LOVE it when they come.  They came last night after the kids were in bed.  This morning the kids got up excited and ready to play.  Nick spent a lot of time playing with the kids outside.  He was a good sport.  Janet and I got in plenty of talking and visiting.  We went to the local pumpkin patch were we took pictures, went through the hay maze, went on a hay ride and played.  We went home and carved some pumpkins, went to the park, and then had our pizza and video night (a day late).  We stayed up way too late visiting and I think the kids wore Nick out!

One of the times Celeste let Janet hold her - she was friendly on a few occasions.

 Very intent on cleaning out her pumpkin.  This kid is very determined - she always sees things through.  She was the only one who started and finished and didn't go off and play.  She clean out the whole pumpkin, sorted the seeds out and drew up her ideas for a design.  This can be a very good trait -but also a difficult one.  She is very determined to finish her coloring or books even if it is time to clean up or say prayer - how do you teach her it's a good thing, but only sometimes?
