Inlaws are here

Hello All!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!  Today was a pretty relaxed day.  The kids and I did our chores first thing this morning, and then was able to play this afternoon.  I just love playing games with the kids!  Today we were working on our Monopoly game that we have had going since last weekend. 

This evening my inlaws came to see us.  They live about a 12 hour drive away, and are visiting until Sunday.  They brought down one of our nieces with them.  It is great seeing them!  I am glad the kids are getting to spend some time with their family.  Princess has been "mauling" her Grandpa all evening, not letting him leave her sight pretty much.  It was really cute.  Prince and Cousin played really well together.  She is 13 days younger than him, and apparently they love the same computer game, Minecraft.  It seems like they are getting along great! 

So, if you have ever really looked at Brian and I, you would see that we are pretty white.  Brian has a different hue to his skin, more olive skin toned but still very light.  I am white with a red undertone.  Prince definitely has my skin coloring, but Princess has always been all by herself.  She was born very dark colored compared to the rest of us, and summer she gets DARK.  I have always wondered where it really came from.  I know I am part Native American, but it is pretty far back in my family.  Tonight, looking at Princess with Cousin, they have almost identical skin colors.  It was really interesting to see.  Cousin's mom is Brian's sister.  Everyone tonight thought I was crazy, but the two girls really do have very similar coloring, and Cousin looks somewhat similar to her too.

Tomorrow we are going to the waterpark to spend the day.  The kids are really looking forward to it, especially to see Dad jump off of the rope swing :)
