Camp Cousins (for the mini ones) - Day 1

Yesterday was our first day together at "camp cousins". Amy and Joel dropped off the kids yesterday afternoon while Joel gets his 1 year check ups in Seattle this week. I think it is going to be a fun week!! I thought I would give Amy and Joel and update on how/what we have been doing. Yesterday, they played out in the sandbox and ran around the yard.
Robin wanted to show me how she poses in her lounge chair....beautiful!
We then walked to the little park in our neighborhood and played for a while. This is the best shot we could get of 5 kids at once!

Learning to pose
Robin is teaching me a lot about how she poses beautifully for pictures :)
Bath time (a little squished) was fun
Mac n' cheese dinner
Amy has given us a present to open every day. The kids cleaned up the downstairs and upstairs and were able to open their present last night ("gnomio and juliet") and microwave popcorn...YUM! Jake couldn't wait to eat the popcorn. Thanks Amy and Joel!

Robin and Jake slept well last night. Only one time getting up last night (around midnight). I woke up to see Robin sleeping next to my side of the bed on the floor and Jake sleeping at the top of the stairs! After moving them back, they were good the rest of the night and then Robin up at 5am asking to go poop (luckily she went to Mark's side of the bed :) ) and then they slept until 6:15! Pretty good for a 1st night. Now, onto preschool!

Glad they are doing okay, hopefully they will get better sleeping on the floor. Looks like they had a great first day. Robin needs stop being such a "poser". Oh well....mini camp cousins looks fun. Thanks Amber and Mark!

Rub-a-dub-dub, 5 cousins in a tub! Looks like you are doing great as Camp Director, Amber. And you posted before preschool! I am still trying to carve out some time to post Emma's Birthday. We look forward to the updates of Camp Cousins-the mini version.
