So, I hadn't mentioned it on the blog yet...but The Alabamaws came to town yesterday. Easton got to go to the airport with Daddy to pick them up, but Diddles was napping at first so he stayed home with me. When he woke up we had lots of fun playing chase upstairs:
Then The Maws got here. And they didn't come empty handed. The boys both got punch balloons:
Which led to a new game:
What good sports they are!
Easton also got the world's coolest pajamas:
They have a cape!
Diddles got some too, but he wasn't chomping at the bit to put them on in the middle of the afternoon like his brother was.
We ordered pizza for dinner and Easton impressed us with his pizza eating once again:
The boy actually drank about an ounce of milk to boot! Milk normally makes him gag, but a certain Maw is a milk fan so Easton asked for some too...after his few sips he told us, "Water will be fine." :)
Dalton and G-Ma shared some high-fives over a successful meal...or maybe it was just for fun:
Jason took G-Ma and July up to their hotel to check in, Easton wanted to tag along. So Dalton and I made the most of our time and we swept and mopped the kitchen:
Then we vaccuumed:
He's gonna be as great of a helper as his Bubba is.
Everyone came back to the house and we did some more playing:
But before long the boys had to go to bed and Jason eventually took the weary travelers to their hotel for the night.
Dalton slept through the night again, only it was a much shorter night. 7:30-5:30...I nursed him but he didn't go back to sleep so at 6:30 I gave up on him and he and I went for a walk. When Easton woke up it was exciting...both the boys were in their Batman jammies.
We picked up The Maws bright and early for our Monday doughnut run. We wanted to treat them to the freshest Krispy Kremes possible so we ate inside...and the boys wanted to wear their cool new p.j.'s. So we let 'em:
And then I snagged them some of the Krispy Kreme free hats:
We came to the house briefly, mostly so I could make up my shopping list and then we headed off to Wal-Mart. July got one of their ride-on carts and Easton asked if he could sit on her lap...lucky for him she agreed:
The Maws took off to do a little shopping of their own and Easton stayed with them...I was glad to see him do well. When Mimi and PawPaw were last here Easton was in his "clingier than normal" phase and wouldn't go with them.
Diddles and I took off to fill our own cart...man, I forgot how much quicker shopping goes with just one kid:
We met up and checked out and came home. The boys both ate some more doughnuts and then I put Mr. D to bed. He was cranky for D...which is still happier than most kids on a good day. Before Easton's quiet time he did a little painting in the new Justice League activity book The Maws brought for him:
And then we watched a few Batman and Wonder Woman YouTubes before turning on a few of Easton's favorite songs. G-Ma paused in her chicken salad making to dance with her grandson:
Then Easton went up for his quiet time and the rest of us lunched on G-Ma's "northern" chicken salad--pretty good!
As I sit here typing this Easton is done with his quiet time and he and The Maws are playing with PlayDoh:
And this is just the first day! Stay tuned for more fun with The Maws through the week.

Sounds like fun!!
I love the jammies! KayTar was very excited to see Batman on the blog. LOL.
Boy, it does sounds like you are having fun over there. Donuts, hats, dancing, playdoh. I bet the Maws are loving every second of it.
And those Batman PJ's are the cutest thing. I love the picture of the two boy's. Awesome.
There's all kinds of fun happening at your house today! Whoohoo
Oh, I love that you let the boys wear their pjs out--I do that too, I mean not all the time, but you get the idea ;)
Hooray for fun family visiting!
I too love the pj's and would love to know where they bought them. I know a slew of boys who would love to have those. I think Izzy would love to have them just for the cape.
The jammies are definitely super cute. They are quite the crime-fighting duo.
Looks like so much fun with the Maws already. I especially loved the video of Dalton doing his high 5's. He's such a cutie pie.
Have fun this week! Looking forward to reading about what else you guys do!
