So Carrie realized that with her girls and my kids, the ages were 5, 6, 7, and 8. So, we made them t-shirts. And took pictures. Now, technically, at the end of their trip this wasn't to accurate. Raven turned 9 and had an awesome zebra birthday party.
We made the shirts so they could wear them when we traveled to Memphis. We just bought shirts at Target, printed out numbers, cut them out, and painted the inside. Once we got down to Memphis Jamie asked us if we used bleach pens. No... But it would have been much easier with bleach pens. Maybe Tessa's wouldn't look like a thermometer...
Now, you know that Carrie also has Presley. She didn't exactly fit into our cutesy number theme, but who could ever forget her? I had to post some of these silly pictures. Miss Presley is a character.
I know that I said this before, but it was a BLAST having Carrie here. We did lots and made lots and stayed up way too late watching North and South. Nope, not the British love story. It's the classic Civil War North and South complete with Patrick Swayze as Orry Main. (Watch at least the first 2 discs. You will thank me.) I got to laugh with Raven over Kid History, bug Tessa to the end of the earth, and play with/spoil Presley. All the while enjoying my kids playing with cousins they haven't seen in a year. Who could ask for more? All in all, it was awesome. I'm hoping that we'll be able to travel out west before this next summer. But, I am SOOO looking forward to next summer when Carrie visits again.

Let me just state that the picture collage is crackin' me up. The one of Miss P on the bottom left is hysterical. Cute idea...except for T's thermometer. We seriously had SO MUCH fun. Sad that we are back to normal. I would love to eat junk food all day, scarf coke, stay up late, hang with you, etc. I could go on and on. Alas, reality and I are good friends again.
BTW, I SO need to post a pic of her next to Gene Wilder. Title it "Hair Twins". FACCCCCt.
