Alex and Zachary love to come to Mimi and Papa's house in the country. Despite the fact that we've got lots of toys at our house they never miss them because Mimi and Papa have this:
This is known as the toy closet. Catchy name, I know. It's a big toybox and most of the closet in their office that's filled with "junk". Sure it may look like toys to the naked eye but it's old toys of my teenage nephews that are mostly broken, along with a few old dolls of my sisters, empty containers of baby wipes and oatmeal, and flat balls. All kids love it. They especially love to pull things out one by one to check them out and then keep digging. It's lots of fun to make a big mess.
The boys also love to go outside. They are not fenced in here and can see Papa's big trucks and tractors parked in the yard. They love to pick up acorns and see how far they can throw them. Today we examined all the trees and found a butterfly, one big spider, and several beetles. Of course I found the perfect picture taking spot in one of the trees.
The plan is to stay here until the end of the week. We'll go home Sunday and Chris gets back on Monday. Hurry home, daddy!

The boys are too cute! I can't wait until Elizabeth can play in the toy closet!!
With their camo shirts on, you almost can't see them in the trees! ;-) Meg & Hannah saw the pictures in the toy closet and said how much they want to go play at Mimi & Papa's! We miss y'all!
