Serious Moves.

A couple of weeks ago, my boys experienced a thin slice of heaven. Our family of five became a family of nine for a few days ... and four of the nine members were boys ... under the age of five! And I have to agree with them ... the entire time (minus the occasional superhero meltdown) was fabulous. And delightful. And remarkably easy and carefree ... which is amazing ... given that we were severely outnumbered by toddlers!!

These sweet friends ... Greg, Amy, Roman and Reuben ... needed to escape the storms pounding the Midwest ... and we jumped at the chance to have them stay with us!

And of course the boys ... couldn't have been happier. Not a moment was without costume ...

Or fantastic moves.

Or big plans to save the universe.

From complete destruction.

It was serious galaxy saving business. FOR ALL FOUR DAYS.

Superhero bliss.

And then we had even more fun when this crew came over. Michelle was the maid of honor in our wedding and I returned the favor (11 weeks after Eli was born) in her wedding and Amy was her other bridesmaid. And she is due to have my "niece" or "nephew" in May. Can't wait!

We left Uncle Ben to entertain the munchkins while we chatted ... and chatted ... and chatted!

And what trip to the desert is complete without cupcakes and yummies?

And sporting your crazy face.

And practicing your moves.

And more moves.

And more moves.

And ... well, you get the idea.

Until finally ... even the toughest of superheroes was in need of recharging!

Amy and Greg (and crew) ... Can't wait to have you out here again ... or you could just move back :) Yes. Please MOVE BACK!!!
