Aunt Alyson and Clementine Come Callling

Last weekend Alyson and Clementine came down for a long weekend.  I hadn't met Clementine yet and Alyson wanted to give Pierce some snuggles so she decided to come on down.  It was a lot of fun to see the cousins together. 

When we first got to the house we set the kids down on the floor and Clementine tried to pull of Pierce's ear.  He didn't quite know what to think about that.  


We decided that the whole weekend was like having twins.  One of the babies was always needing fed or changed or cuddled or played with.  It was a TON of fun, but holy cow, if you have twins I'll give you a medal!

Clementine liked Pierce's jumpy chair.  As you can see Pierce is still a bit too small!

Look Ma' my feet don't touch!

I was determined to take the kids to a pumpkin patch to get cute pics.  Of course the weather turned that day and it was pretty cold.  Luckily Alyson and I both use Ergos so we had the kids snuggled up to us.  We did the hay ride, the pumpkin patch and a corn maze.  Then we topped off the afternoon with the Elixer of Life (aka coffee)!











We also had lunch with Don and Wanda so they could spend some time with their great niece and great nephew!


But mostly we enjoyed watching the kids interact.  I think Pierce learned a lot from Clementine since he started actually playing with his toys after watching her. 






And I think Clementine liked having someone smaller than her to beat up on!

And because I think it's funny that Pierce can't touch in the jumpy chair here's a little video with his legs flailin'!  He has fun even if he can't quite reach.

 
 


We can't wait for Alyson and Clementine to come back and bring the rest of the family.  We have big plans for Christmas 2013!  It should be a blast!
