Especially if the babysitter is Grandma! Brent and I flew to Spokane, Washington on September 29 and returned home on October 3rd, but that trip gets its own post. My mom flew in on the 28th to take care of the girls for us. And boy oh boy did they have a blast, it was so good for the girls to have Grandma's undivided attention, and it was great for Ava. We were a little worried with how she would do because she never does great with the family when we go visit them, maybe it was because she was on her own turf but she did awesome from the moment Grandma got off the plane.
Ava and I picked Grandma Debbie up from the airport and went to lunch, we headed home to pick up Trena from the bus, had dinner went to bed, got up and headed back to the airport to drop us off.
As soon as we were off, they were off having fun too! Trena even got to miss a day of school to play with grandma.
Day 1:
They did crafts, which included a frame for me.
Kicked back and watched some TV
Picnics in the family room
There was some dancing
Day 2:
Our favorite Storytime at the Library
And got some Library books
Out to lunch for pizza,
games
and silly prizes
Home again for naps and nap time Monopoly
Ava wouldn't let go of Grandmas phone, here she is hiding it behind her back pretending she doesn't have it
"no, you Grandma"
DAY 3:
Brought cartoons
A walk to McDonalds to play
Picking up sister from the bus stop
Surprises from Mom and Dad
Building towers
Practicing how high we can jump
Ava too
Making Jiffy Pop Popcorn and watching Alvin and The Chipmunks the Squekell
DAY 4:Picnic at the park
Complete with silly string
and tickling
Then home to play with some Twirly Twigs
In flight
Ava is determined to do it too
DAY 5:
A cinnamon roll conference picnic
More chair jumping attempts
And then off to pick up Mom and Dad at the Airport.
That left me with one day to spend with my mom
So we went shopping, here A is modeling an adorable spider headband
And then out to dinner for Thai food
And then we were off to the airport again
I was sad that I didn't get to spend more time with my Mom, but so glad that my mom was able to get such quality time with the girls.
Mom, thanks again for coming and watching the girls so that Brent and I could have some time away. We love you.
