Grandparents Rock!

Wow, what an amazing weekend all of the kids had and I must say I benefited too!  The girls spent the weekend with Grandma Nancy and Grandpa David.  On Saturday they spent the day at the Children’s Museum and had a BLAST!  I had to laugh when my dad told me that when they went into the gift shop and told the girls they could pick out one thing Annie picked out…candy (typical Annie)!  At least it was cheap!

Today they took them to the circus.  What fun they both had!  Kate rode a pony and an elephant.  Annie was terrified of the clowns (I should have known considering her fear of all the Disney characters and recently the Easter Bunny).  I loved hearing the laughter and joy in their voices when they told me stories about their day.  Kate couldn’t stop laughing about the elephants pooping and the two of the tigers daydreaming.  Annie loved to tell me about the lady that shot out of the cannon…boom! My dad said both of the girls had their ears covered for about thirty minutes before the cannon went off!  Needless to say when they got home they were clearly exhausted and a little cranky.  Still…I was happy to have them home!

James got to have some fun too this weekend.  He spent the weekend with Grandma Sharon and Scott. Grandma told me he had A+ behavior all weekend! He had a great time going downtown Wayzata and visiting the ducks, seeing the trains, throwing rocks into the lake, and going to Ben & Jerry’s for ice cream!

He also got to go on a lawn mower ride, visit the fire station, ate lots of great food and took a bath in the kitchen sink!  So much fun for the little man.

As I mentioned above I got to have a little me time too!  I spent Saturday shopping and then had dinner and saw a movie with my sister. Then today wasn’t so much fun as I spent the entire day cleaning the house but I wouldn’t have made nearly as much progress if those little stinkers would have been home.  Thanks so much Mom, Scott, Dad and Nancy for helping me out and treating the kids to such a fun time.  I know they cherish the time they get to spend with you! We all love you!  xoxox
