Aunt Sonnet came to visit us this weekend. I don't know how we got so lucky but I'm glad we did and so are the boys. We've had all sorts of fun. She brought a coupon for a free New Release Rental from Blockbuster and let the boys pick out a movie to watch. We got Eight Below and treats from CVS and the boys snuggled up with their special ble-ble's and Sonnet for the entire show. All three of the big boys were shocked and thrilled that Sonnet had her own special ble-ble and enjoyed the fact that she was even willing to share it with them.
Aunt Sonnet went for a walk with us to the "duck park." It's not a very long walk, only about 1/2 a mile, but when you're little I suppose that seems like a very long walk. So after we played at the park for awhile, we started the long journey home. All three of the big boys started complaining about the length of the walk and how hot and tired they were. Well, Aunt Sonnet was kind enough to offer each of the boys a piggy-back ride so their feet could rest a bit and that was no easy job, considering Hunter weighs almost as much as Sonnet and the walk home is entirely up hill. But she did it anyway and saved not only their feet from falling off, but their Mommy from screaming her head off.
Sonnet also brought along Razor, her dog. Denver fell in love with Razor almost instantly and has enjoyed every waking moment he's had with both Sonnet and her dog. Every time Sonnet has to take the dog out, Denver wants to go with. He especially loved holding Razor's leash and taking her for a walk to the park. He loves watching Razor chase her tail and chase the light from a flashlight. Denver will definitely miss Sonnet and Razor when they leave.
Sonnet stayed up late last night washing my dishes. She went with me to get a pedicure and helped me do my grocery shopping. She helped me stay awake late into the night so I could greet Mark when he returned home from his business trip. She made her Monterrey Jack Salsa for the ward Linger-Longer and it was the hit of the party, so much so, people were offerring to pay her for the recipe. She washed my dishes again tonight, built Denver one of the coolest train track layouts he's ever laid eyes on, snuggled Noah, and created Happy Fun Land with Hunter. Aunt Sonnet will be sorely missed tomorrow when she heads back to North Carolina and the boys are already trying to figure out how we're going to get together with her again. Thanks for coming Aunt Sonnet--we hope we get lucky like this again real soon.
