Our Weekend Away to see the other DeWitt's

What a wonderful weekend! I can't say that enough...Thank you , Thank you, Thank you!
We drove out to Madison, IN for a weekend of fun. We kept very busy from the minute we got there to the minute we left! I was so happy to see the boys around other kids. That is one thing they are currently missing, so it was very nice to see them socializing with other kids. Hannah, Fisher, and Rory take good care of the boys and they all truly have such a good time together.
Chase played with Hannah's beads, which was too cute!
Anytime Preston needed a jacket Fisher would go to his room to help dress P so he would stay warm! I loved the fact that Preston looked like he was wearing a dress, but was so darn proud of it! Preston and Fisher were sword fighting all weekend, due to seeing Peter Pan. P now thinks he is Captain Hook and needs to sword fight. I really didn't think he would catch on to the play as well as he did, but if you ask him about Peter Pan he tells you that he flies and when you say Captain Hook he is ready to sword fight. During the middle of the play bubbles fell from the ceiling and since we were in the second row from the front my son got to catch them! He was several seats away, sitting with Uncle Tom and Hannah. He yelled Mama, Bubbles! Then a dog came to the stage and Chase was yelling Dog, Dog, Dog, Dog......Dog! It was so funny! It was such a nice thing to do and the kids really enjoyed it! Hannah and Fisher enjoyed it as well, they had a sandbox with treasures in it. So the kids all took it upon themselves to help my boys get good prizes...a BAG FULL!

Preston has taken a liking to Rory...in fact he can say her name! That is impressive for a little boy who doesn't say much! He spent a lot of time hugging and kissing on Rory. I don't think she minded all that much!

Tom and Crippled Kristen watching all the craziness our children were causing on the streets of Madison! For just having surgery Kristen looks really good and moved around better than expected!
Chase slept through most of the afternoon, but woke up to get a pic taken!
P was picking flowers from a mum plant in front of a store.
He was running towards me saying here Mom! P is such a sweet little boy. He picked flowers for me all weekend. We filled little tiki shot glasses with water and had all sorts of flowers in the DeWitt house!
When we were downtown we went to this pottery place called All Ways Pottery. I love these kind of places. It has been years since I have been in one. This was very nice because I got to spend time with Hannie, Fisher, P, Rory and Candice. We had so much fun painting and chatting!
I have not been creative in so long that it was a nice thing to do! Preston painted a dinosaur, go figure! What a wonderful memory! I LOVED IT! I painted a plate and had the boys dip their hands in paint for the middle of the plate. I can't wait to see it when it is glazed and fired!
Hannah has grown up so much, I can't believe it! I can remember her sitting in her highchair showing me her Barbie plate when she was little! Has it really been that long! Time flies when your having fun! I just love this pic of Hannah...She's BEAUTIFUL!
This is my adopted niece Rory! What a creative little girl! She made a Halloween plate with spiders on the side made from fingerprints! How stinkin' cute is she!
So we took the DeWitt van everywhere this weekend. I sat with Hannah and Fisher...So everyone stopped for a quick picture and then I had two kids tickling, laughing, trying to make me sit on their hands, it was fun! Fisher actually looked like he liked me in this pic, but that was before the wrestling match where he picked me up on his back in the car and stole my shoe! Don't worry, Aunt Jen prevailed!Before we left we went to get pumpkins for the kids to paint. My children did not understand the concept of painting the pumpkins. Chase decided to eat the paint and Preston painted his arms black. Baths were well needed before we could head home.
I had to get a pic of Tom in front of his latest project...THE FENCE! The time has come to work on the fence and it is looking really good. Tom is priding himself on doing it all by hand and it will be really nice. I can't wait to see it finished!

Tom and I have a tradition of taking pics of each other taking pics. We are photo nerds, and this proves it!

Thanks again for a WONDERFUL weekend! We truly had a great time chatting and spending time with you all!
