A Coupla Extras

My friend (and Jewelry Designer) Carey had a few they-be-so-much-quicker-without-kids errands to run before their trip to MN, so she dropped off Lucy, age 4, and Quinn, age 6 to hang with us for a bit.

I wasn't sure what we might need to do to keep all age groups occupied, so (like the anal nerd I am) I planned out some activities and had them written down:

- bus ride (yeah, believe it or not, I didn't take this one on.)
- scavenger hunt
- painting
- build-your-own ice cubes
- lunch
- making lollipops
- and maybe a few more items I can't remember.

We did accomplish quite a few of the above and a few others. It was fun to have the extras in da house! Poor Olivia napped throught the photo session, I guess. She was there, and she did munch down some chicken nuggets.
