Cousin Time

I headed out early yesterday morning to pick the wee Kelleys up at my cousin Amy’s house in Collierville.  Driving alone for 3 hours gave me maybe a little too much time to think.  So I was very ready to get out of the car and see my cousins.

My cousin Amy, my cousin Rebecca and my Aunt Janie all live in Collierville and Rebecca has 3 little kiddos too.  Everyone was swimming at Amy’s house when I arrived.  It was super nice to see my kiddos.

All the wee cousins have been having a blast.  OH.MY.WORD.  Rebecca’s table is quite full.

And our van is quite full too.

Natalie is fulfilling Harper’s dream of a sister.  She tells us all the time “I wouldn’t be so lonely in my room if I had a sister.”  I am always so amazed the difference between boys and girls.  And Natalie is laid back and easy going just like Harper.  They are quite the dream play match.

The boys have been playing swords and fighting and all those crazy boy games…plus Don’t Break The Ice.

Minimum bed space means Harper has been my little sleeping partner…which is nice to get a little extra snuggle time.  Plus sleeping kids are way cute.

I’ve had a few odd encounters while here in Collierville too.

A)  Rebecca keeps old bananas in her freezer.  I find that a little on the odd side, but she said it keeps her old bananas old, but not rotted and she can make banana bread later on.  Hmmmm.

B)  This cat, who clearly thought it was a dog, at Chick-fil-A.

C)  And Rebecca’s dog Bell who just doesn’t understand how to stay off tables.  And who also helped herself to Bec’s egg, cheese and toast sandwich.

Hi Rebecca sprinting through the background…caught ya’!

Overall we are having the best time getting in some good cousin time with all our Collierville residents.  Cousin’s this cute should just be wrong.

Happy Wednesday!
