Cousin time

I love when the girls get to come over and visit and play.  A few weeks ago they came over on a Wednesday night so Todd and Jennie could have a date night. We ran out to get Max's halloween costume.  We met mom at Lowe's where we were both getting some mum's and flowers.  I headed home, started dinner and waited for the girls.  We had a great night.

Max chose to get a transformer costume at Walmart

He put it on almost immediately and didn't take it off til bedtime.  He probably would have slept in it

I gave Mary Frannie the idea to add glitter to her poster, so we took it outside

It appears Max determined to wear his transformer costume all night, had an influence on the rest of the cousins. Everyone joined in the fun and dressed up as something they wanted to that they found int he toy room.  Mary Frannie didn't make the pictures because she was finishing up her poster, but you'll see she later joined in the dress up fun.

Always love when the girls can come over and spend some time with us.  It's not always easy having the 5 of them, but for the most part things run smoothly, and it's all worth it to see how much fun they have.
