So instead of going to the Dells this year for our annual family winter gathering we decided to just all hang out at our house for the weekend. Dogs, money, work schedules .... just a lot to figure out and opted to just spend a relaxing weekend together. It was relaxing - Andi, Jimmy, Brooke and Kaydence; Nick and Kelsey; and us. Grandma Gretchen just happened to be visiting the week before so she ended up being with us for part of the weekend as well. Bowling pics were the only ones we got, however, the one I wish we had gotten was of the CORN. On Sunday afternoon we were all upstairs playing scattegories. After a while Matt decided to get dinner going and went downstairs to get some supplies - that is when he found the corn. Rylee and Brooke (who most often do naughty things together - its like they gain courage to do those things they know they shouldn't but really want to) were downstairs playing quietly as they had been doing all weekend long. It seems though they had enough of tinker toys, dollhouses, and imaginex and went into the home school room to play with the corn. ** Sidenote - We have a little swimming pool full of dry feed corn as a sensory area in our homeschool room. ** Rylee and Brooke decided to make it rain corn - literally. They threw it up in the air by the scooperfuls. To say there was corn everywhere was an understatement - on the bookshelves, in the closet, in Andi and Jimmy's suitcase and all over their clothes, the bed and linens, on the table, computer, play money...... To be honest to look at the room one would think there wouldn't have been any corn left in the pool. Even later that night I wish I had gotten proof of their delinquency. A few days later I thought about recreating the scene but then thought better of it when I remembered I didn't have all the helpers to clean it up.
