Reunion, Bowling, and Camping in the Backyard!

Last Friday was my 20 year High School reunion. I took Nico over to Papa and Grandma's house so he could stay the night, and Guy and I headed over to the reunion. It was great to see a few close High School buddies.

Saturday morning, Guy picked Nico up from the Grandparents' house because I was participating in Allicia's sister's baby shower back at the house, in fact, I was doing henna there! It was a fun morning. I hadn't done henna in a very long while, but I practiced the week before and I think I remembered all the important stuff :)

I was able to hand out a few packages of henna powder to two different girls who were interested in trying henna. I have a bunch of the stuff in my freezer, you see! I certainly will not get around to using it all!

Anyway, Guy and Nico headed to Guy's work picnic. Nico made a friend and him and his friend fished in the lake and jumped in the bouncy house all morning. They returned around 2PM. Pizza that night, of course, and my turn to choose the movie, and animated movie called Mary and the Witch's Flower. Very cute. The last part of the movie the girl yells joyfully, "WE DON'T NEED MAGIC!" and I guess that was the moral of the story :)

Sunday after church we invited Avery over. He heard about last Thursday, about how Evelyn came over and got to watch shows with Nico. So we invited him over for an hour or so, and him and Nico watched videos of people playing video games. Mario, and Geometry Dash. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement!

Sunday evening we ate dinner outside. Then Guy and Nico hung out there for a little while reading Amphigory Also by Edward Gorey.

Monday after dinner we did a very special super secret craft. I'll tell you more about it next week! ;)

The next day, Guy texted me and said we needed to do family crafts more often. It really was a lot of fun. I agree.

Wednesday we were invited to go bowling with Allicia and kids, with Jeff's mom at the BSU SUB building. Since she is an employee there, we got to bowl free! This was the first time Nico ever bowled. He did really well.

That night, Nico and Evelyn camped out in the backyard inside a tent. Nico was up past 11pm! They spent the evening reading books and playing games in there. He kept running inside for more books. He let Evelyn read the first Captain Underpants book, which she finished, and Nico finished the rest of his Squish books.

That's about it for this week! Check out Nico's bowling moves in the video below!
