A Weekend with Cousins

A couple of weeks before Easter the boys and I headed to Indy to spend some time with their cousins who flew in from California.  This was also the first time we were able to see the newest little Fiene, Finley.  I'm sure that Grandma and Grandpa were over the moon that they had all 7 of their grandchildren together.

 Grandma decided to tell the kids that everyone who picked up leaves could have $5.  Grandpa, like myself, was thinking that was a bit steep.  But they would both do anything for their grandchildren.  Even if that meant overpaying for sub-par work.

 It took a really long time to get the leaves together.  They kept playing.  But they love each other and just couldn't help it.

 Eva, in true first born girl fashion, quickly became in charge.  Good for Eva because these boys needed some direction.

We gave Michael some of Anders old clothes.  I have sufficiently turned my nephew into a clothes lover so he wanted to put them on right away.  He was the best dressed one of the bunch!

 Michael and Anders weren't ready to be done working so Grandpa suggested they clean the deck.  Both were happy to oblige.

 I'm not sure how clean it was...but it sure got wet!

I think all 3 of these boys had a good time.

After the kids earned their $5, Grandma and Uncle Christian walked them all down to Dairy Queen to buy ice cream.  Grandma even let them keep the change!
