Visitors

My dad flew into town last week and brought my grandmother with him. My grandma is 83 so she didn't want to have to fly alone, but she wanted to come and spend some time with the kids. I am glad that my kids are lucky enough to have seven of their great grandparents still alive. I know that they are young and most likely will not remember this past weekend when they are older but it really made my grandma happy to spend time with them.

Having house guests always stresses me out. I feel the need to clean like a maniac before they arrive because my house is supposed to be spotless when company comes, or at least this is what I tell myself. Truth be told my family could care less what the house looks like as long as they get to see the kids.

No visit from my grandmother would be complete without a trip to the toy store. Family always seem to want to bring the kids gifts or go shopping when they visit. We really don't need to add any toys to our home but when my grandma wants to do something there is no telling her no! I don't want my kids to expect that they get a gift everytime someone vists though.

Hailey got her first Cabbage Patch doll

Ryan got Scout

They both sleep with their new toys every night.
