Choo-Choo, Baptism, & Bunk Beds

A trip to KS isn't the same without a trip to the Gage Park Choo-Choo!

In fact, Finn told everyone we encountered on the long drive from IN, about the Gage Park Choo-Choo!

They had to feed the ducks too!

We all checked out the baby bird on grandma & papa's front door.

Sweet Ellie with her mom and godparents- Danielle and Sean.

She didn't even cry!

Finn slept most of mass and through the whole Baptism.

Cullen was fascinated with Ellie.

Cullen wanted to hold her and pick her up.  Finn was less enthused.

All the cousins!  Clare, Cullen, Ellie, and Finn.

Bunk Beds!  Ohh the excitement!

We had a great, whirlwind trip back to Kansas.  In fact we are all still trying to rebound from how busy we were.  We were able to pick up Adah and Arley's old bunk beds while we were back too.  The boys have spent 2 nights on them and they think they are the greatest thing in the whole wide world!  :)  So far, so good... (translation- no one has gotten hurt yet!)

Here's another Cullen story-  I ran into Mrs. Lohr after helping in the lunchroom yesterday.  She told me about one day last week, she was out of the classroom and the kids were acting up for Mrs. V.  When she got back into the classroom she read them the riot act for acting up and how Mrs. V doesn't like that.  Then Cullen stood up walked right up to Mrs. V and said "Mrs. V, I like you."  Then turned around and sat down.  She said they both cracked up and Mrs. Lohr referred to Cullen as "Eddie Haskell, over here."  Hahaha!  Cullen is a people pleaser, that's for sure!  It's funny because that day after school he told me that he told Mrs. V he liked her and that Mrs. Lohr and Mrs. V were laughing.  :)  I had a feeling it went something like that...
