A Day with the Nephews

On Saturday Kate came down with the stomach bug, thanks in large part to my family as we had all had it and she was certainly exposed. It was only fair of me to take her kids as she so often helps out with Henry. It was a great opportunity for Kevin and I to spend so much needed time with the boys as although we are able to "see" them almost every day, we do not have time to enjoy them. Aside from our house totally not be equipped for four boys ages 8 months to six years old, we had a blast. Jack and Kevin argued over whose turn it was with the video games and Henry and Cole argued over a spot on my lap. Luke kept himself quite busy with a large empty box we had and his trucks of course. Kevin and I also braved the elements and took all three Castor boys oustide while Henry napped. We had a lot of fun and according the Jack, the snow at my house IS much better than the snow at his house. Here are some pictures from our action packed day.

(P.S. Later that evening my brother Brian aka "Bubba" came home from Washington for his first visit since joining the Air Force in May. We all surprised him at the airport and then enjoyed a short visit at my parents. My pictures were blurry so go to the Castor Boys blog and check them out)

Henry trying to take Cole's sock off, it's payback Cole!

When Cole was taking a break from unwrapping my gifts under the tree, he would take the ornaments off and in this case, "ride" it.

Cole was a little dissappointed that Jack and Luke got to go outside without him, so I caught him trying to dress himself so he could outside too.

Poor Cole had to wear my scarf because his brothers were throwing snow at him and his face was getting wet.

Here's Luke after being thrown in the snow by Kevin.

Jack after be thrown.

And Cole, yes Kevin threw him as well because he was crying at his leg yelling "me, me, me," he later realized it wasn't as much fun as it looked. I believe Jack started calling Cole "Randy" after this move.
