When Owen and I picked up Ben from preschool on Tuesday we were met with the question, "what is today?". After I said Tuesday he immediately asked, "What's tomorrow?".
That would be Wednesday.
This went on until I had reached Friday with my answer. He perked up and said, "Greg and Aunt Steph are coming then! Do I have to take a nap before they get here?"
They arrived Friday evening to much excitement and fanfare. The boys were beside themselves when Greg and Steph came into the house. It helped that Greg shared the quesadilla from Ben's favorite restaurant, Taco Bueno. Aunt Steph's cup of ice was quite captivating to Owen. He would take off the lid, replace it, take out the straw, replace it and repeat. He then started putting his hand in the cup. Steph taught him to say, "Brr". Meanwhile poor Uncle Greg was locked in jail several times that evening before it was time for Superhero Ben to call it a night.
The next morning Ben insisted that we needed donuts from Lamars. It seemed that we were still on our sugar high when we were making plans for lunch. Steph is not a huge fan of barbecue, but Greg is so we offered them a compromise. Fiorela's Jack Stack Barbecue at Country Club Plaza. We could eat...then shop.
While Steph and I were getting all dolled up, Greg and Jeremy took the boys and Layla outside to play. Ben talked Greg into drawing the biggest "hoppity" scotch board known to man. 
The weather was fabulous and the boys enjoyed walking around the plaza. I let them go at their own pace and they loved discovering rocks and store windows. We were all beat by late afternoon so we decided to hang out at home for the rest of the evening.
The end of the weekend came too soon. Before we knew it Sunday had arrived and it was time for them to pack up and go. We thought about holding them hostage, but let them go after subjecting them to our favorite place to get breakfast, The Big Biscuit.
There-they did it! Greg and Steph finally made the blog!!!
