Prince Charming and Fun with Mama and Papa

Last weekend, Pearce and I went to Dallas to see Nathan perform in his very first school play!  The play was Snow White and he originally auditioned for one of the dwarfs, but in true Nathan style, he got the part of Prince Charming!  So of course, we wouldn't have missed this for the world!  As soon as we got there, the party was on for Pearce :)  It is nonstop when Pearce and Nay Nay and Charlotte get together....well, poor Nay Nay....he would like to have a little rest time, but Pearce does not know the meaning of rest!  Nay Nay is such a good sport and they really all have so much fun together!  That night, they all got in Nathan's bed and watched a movie and then eventually fell asleep.  Both nights, Pearce got to sleep in Nay Nay's bed and he loved it!  Saturday was Nathan's performance.  He did SUCH a great job as Prince Charming!  I really was so proud of him for memorizing all of his lines.  PLUS, he was also cast as the Huntsman...two parts and lots of lines to memorize and he did awesome!  After the play, we all went back to Ashley's house for a taco lunch.  After Mama and Papa and Grandmother left, Ashley and I took the kids to the outlet mall to do a little shopping....I mean, the kids LOVE shopping :)  They did pretty well, but were definitely ready to get back to Ashley's house to play!

 

On Sunday, Papa came over to Ashley's to get Pearce and take him to stay with them for a few days.  Pearce was a little sad to leave Nay Nay and Charlotte and me, but soon, he was having the best time with Mama and Papa....and I was enjoying a nice, quiet drive home :)  I really enjoyed my time to myself.  I did lots of shopping and cleaned my house.  Mama and Papa were sure to send me lots of pics of my little guy.  Pearce went on golf cart rides, blew bubbles outside, went to Cabella's, Toys R Us, Dick's Sporting Goods, the park, and to see Grandma.  BUT, his favorite thing was going fishing!  They said he would ask to go fishing first thing in the morning and then would ask again in the afternoon.  He could not get enough of it!  Chris and I love that Pearce loves fishing so much!  I remember going fishing with Daddy when I was little and Chris remembers fishing with his grandfather.  Pearce loved catching those "twapees" aka crappies :)  By the end of the day, everyone was worn out.  I love the pic of Mama and Pearce asleep on the couch.  Papa went to the store and left Pearce with Mama.  He said when he got home, they were both out cold....Mom said she doesn't even remember who fell asleep first!  Of course, Pearce would take a nap for them and not for me!  Thank you Mama and Papa for taking such good care of Pearce and for giving me a much needed break!
