Day two. It rained most of the day. We tried to get out early and beat the showers, but just as we got outside and into the garage to grab toys, it began to rain. Ollie and I stood in the door as Hazel sat on her scooter in the rain. Eventually I asked Hazel to join us and she did. It lightninged and eventually thundered. The low rolling thunder of spring. I told the kids. Hey! Thunder! Listen! Ollie was much more aware of it the Hazel seemed to be (she was chomping at the bit to get out of the garage).
Ollie asked if he could "see it? see thunder?" But I had to tell him it was only for listening. It was very cute. Eventually the drain spout began to shoot out water. "I touch it?" Ollie asked. Sure I told him. That was fine with me. Hazel watched and ALMOST got off her scooter when she asked me if she could touch it also. I said "sure". She scooted over behind Ollie. It was pretty great. No chance she was giving Oliver a shot at sitting on that scooter.
The Rochester Kokesch's came just before noon. The kids were pretty jazzed to see the whole group. Anna went to her friends and Eric and I put the kids to nap. Ollie for 3 hours, Hazel for almost 90 minutes. Hazel spent some time with Olive during that afternoon. A couple of pictures on my picasa.
They asked about "MaMa?" during hte day, but we were able to distract pretty well. We ate at Champps andOllie seemed to want to watch all of the TV's in the room simultaneously! It was a hoot to see him so focused. Hazel played with her Crayons and ate almost everything on her plate! She was the Champ! :-) We had fries (waffle) and grill cheese for the kids. Ollie ate the fries. Almost no sandwich.
That was pretty much our day. Anna and Eric have the kids on Monday.
