Weekend With The Girls

Last weekend Morgan and Kennedy came to spend three days with PaPaw and Gana while Whitney went on a trip with her friends and Jason was recruting. Of course when Morgan got here she wanted to play "Little House on the Prairie". It was a fun and busy weekend. Morgan tried to feed the horses carrots but Ginger was the only one that really liked them. It was so cute, Morgan had both hands thru the fence holding both sides of Gingers face and saying: I love you so much. Kennedy tried her best to crawl with her back legs but just could not figure out her arms yet. She is so sweet when she goes to sleep. She finds that paci or thumb and just rolls over on her tummy and she is out like a light. Sunday, after church we went to the Sr. Center for a stew dinner that MaMaw had bought tickets for us. It was a little wild trying to hold Kennedy, feed her and eat. Needless to say, just about everyone had food on them. We went to the park that afternoon. Kennedy thought Morgan was so funny while they were in the swing. After we came home PaPaw and Morgan rode the Ranger for awhile and fed all the horses. Morgan just carries and tugs Kennedy around everywhere, but Kennedy is a trooper and lights up when she sees her big sister. Below are some pictures of the weekend. We had a great time. Morgan even told me while we were outside: These are her words, you are just like a mom....Ha, I told her I am a mom and a Gana. It is always a little sad when they leave so Tuesday was a long day but when I got used to the quite again I guess I was back in my old routine. Thanks for sharing them with us for a few days. (Sorry, the pictures are a little out of order.)



This is the little lantern MaMaw bought Morgan. She thought she needed this because that is what they used back then on Little House.

Morgan and Kennedy (behind the cow) in Cradle Row. I told Morgan she was too big for that class but she begged to go to Mondie's class just one more time!


Kennedy loves the water and was fasinated with the faucet.
Morgan rolling the ball to Kennedy that MaMaw bought her. Kennedy would hit it back. She thought that was so funny.

Morgan in her Little House attire, baking cookies for her daddy.








Morgan doing her chores as Laura on Little House.







We even had to build a fire and make the living room as the house. Including a candle in a hurricane lamp and her having her little latern shown above. She had the cradle for her babies. I got out the bonnet that my grandmother had made for me when Iwas a little girl and found this apron. It did not really all match but I did not dare to tell her that...surprised she did not say something about it, but that was all I had. We did her hair in pigtails like Laura.










The candle for lighting in the house. She played that all day long. I said she should not be able to find anything that would teach her wrong by watching Little House DVDs, except maybe she might start calling her daddy "Paw". Now how would you like that Jason?



And so the weekend journey ends. We met Whit and Jason after work Monday night to take the little ones home. Thanks for sharing them with us. It is always a delight to have them here.

Just had to comment on your post. We thought it was so funny. Our all-time favorite show is "Little House on the Prairie" so we are very familiar with Laura. Jennifer loved Little House. We took her to Laura's real house in Mansfield, Missouri one time on vacation. You'll have to take Morgan some day. Your pictures were so cute. Your bonnet reminded us of our grandmothers, too.
