Attack of the Elliott Boys!

Angie and Jason went away this past weekend for Jason's birthday, so Mom and I split the babysitting duties: Mom watched Adam, and Colin and Justin stayed at our house. We had a blast!

As soon as they got to our house, the playing began. I can pretty much summarize the whole weekend like this: toy guns and sports. Karl and Colin even made up a sport using a gun for a bat!http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8292/7877252510_f56caab065_z.jpg

This is what it looks like to have three boys in the back seat. Aye yi yi!

That night, Mom and Dad came over for pizza. Adam loved seeing his big brothers. Laura chose to eat in the dining room.http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7270/7877255158_9818256b62_z.jpg

Both nights all the boys were in bed and asleep by 8:30! Can you say super-duper-troopers? In the morning, after breakfast, it was TV time. Here are all the kids watching toddler shows "for Justin." http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7110/7877255926_29b47d6ac7_z.jpg

Colin and Justin made friends with Pippa. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8446/7877257782_11cbc5df33_z.jpg

On Sunday, the boys saw Rush City's big attraction: the aquatic center! Here's the only picture I have of everyone together.

That night we went to Mom and Dad's for dinner. Mom loved having all four boys at her house. It made her feel 28 again! Amazingly, we got them all to sit down in the same place. Colin, Karl, Adam, and Justin.http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8439/7877261190_38ccda3067_z.jpg

Thanks for staying with us, Colin and Justin!
