No, we haven't mysteriously disappeared or fled the country or died or been really busy! Well, maybe the last one...;) But I also haven't made blogging a priority so I won't make too many excuses! Anyway, amidst school, TeenPact preparation, work, and such, we enjoyed having the three oldest Blunier kids for a week! They came with Dave and Kara on a Saturday evening and then stayed for us for the next week while their parents enjoyed a lovely week in Cancun! They fit right in to our constantly moving life and schedule! We definitely were able to do some fun, out-of-the-ordinary things, but also just enjoyed doing the simple things together! It was a wonderful week!!;)
 |
| They were here over Valentines Day, so we had a nice meal complete with china! Then, our moms sipped coffee by the fire while the rest of us cleaned up!;) |
 |
| Eating out after doing some shopping! |
 |
| And, of course, the boys got to enjoy chick-fil-a one day!;) |
 |
| Most of our mornings were spent together like this working on school... |
 |
| Which was generally followed by a run! We really got inspired to run that week! |
 |
| The boys even had a team race! Micah and Jared versus Seth and Marcus! I won't say who won...there was some debate regarding that!;) |
 |
| Reading some good, or boring, books!;) |
 |
| Constant smiles;) |
 |
| ;););) |
 |
| One day, us girls made a fun lunch together! A Pinterest-inspired sandwich, salad, and a fruit smoothie! |
 |
| It was so good! And no recipe either!!;) |
 |
| We also enjoyed a breezy, sunny coffee run! |
 |
| The younger boys did a fantastic job building a tree house in their free time!! |
 |
| We played Chopped one evening! These two boys were so fun to watch cook together! Megan & Faith don't look as if they are getting along though...;) |
 |
| Franticly cooking! |
 |
| These guys were, well...interesting...;) No, they really did a great job! |
 |
| The judges!;);) |
 |
| My "team";) In last place... |
 |
| Megan & Faith's team, coming in 2nd to last;) |
 |
| Seth & Marcus, tied for first! |
 |
| Micah & Jared, the other first place winners! |
 |
| We The kitchen was an absolute disaster! But we got it done it pretty good time!;) |
 |
Finally, Seth & Marcus built a lean-to of sorts to store firewood in for mom! I couldn't find the picture of the finished project but it turned out great!
It was a great week!! We hope you had a great time, Bluniers!;)
