Our McCall Adventure

Last week my sister, myself, and all our kiddos went up to McCall to help out our brother by watching his kids after school while our sis-in-law was in Boise training for her new job. Whew! What a job it turned out to be! My 9-year-old niece and 6-year-old nephew ended up sleeping at the condo with us and we took them to school each morning. The noise level in the condo was at a constant high with so many kids running around and our 2 bedroom condo was overflowing at bedtime. Overflowing as in my sister and I got splashed right into the living room!

It was a fun week, though, and all the cousins had a blast playing together, as did Brandy and I. We played Settlers of Catan almost every night and when nap time would allow. We each brought up quite a few toys to keep the kids entertained, and thankfully Brandy thought to bring Toby's Spider-man and Batman costumes as these turned out to be the most popular items of the week.

Twice the webbing, twice the cling, twice the adventure these two will bring!

The Caped Crusader. . . well, minus the cape

Don't you feel that much safer when superheroes team up


"Alfred, do you have the rest of my bat-suit pressed yet?"

The rare, silly side of Spider-Man

While waiting for his bat-suit to be pressed, Batman takes a moment to look cute for the camera. (The belt is there 'cause he wanted to be buckled down like the babies were. We forgot to take booster chairs with us, so we had to tie those stinkin' babies to their chairs)

The surprise favorite (just behind the costumes in the ratings) were the bath mats found in each bathroom. These were magically turned into "treasure maps" and entertained the boys for hours!

Even Anna got in on some of the treasure-hunting action
