Our visit with Grandma Donna

A little over a month ago, my Donna braved the Colorado weather while my Dad went on a business trip. Colorado can have unpredictable weather in November, so we weren't able to get out everyday...I really hope she wasn't bored! Something tells me that bored she was not, but just extremely exhausted by the end of her trip. (Rumor has it that my children can be a bit of a handful-- hard to believe, I know.) For instance, as soon as she got off the plane, we took her to Madi's birthday party at Pump it Up (inflatable obstacle courses...). She probably didn't plan on negotiating a toned down version of American Gladiator within her first hour of being here. The next big excitement was introducing her to Costco: I don't know how she managed to contain her excitement! We were also able to go to the park where Jack played on the equipment for a little bit, but mostly ran in circles around the playground (if only his energy could be harnessed!).


One morning while I was dressing the kids and chatting at the same time, I found I was having problems getting Jack's jeans on. When I stopped and actually looked at what I was doing, I saw that I was trying to put Paige's pretty flowered jeans on him. He didn't seem to mind.

After we dropped Grandma Donna off at the airport, Jack and I were really sad. As we were driving away and I explained that I was sad because I was going to miss Grandma Donna, Jack told me not to worry and that he still loved me. What a guy! When we got home, he got himself into this little toy box, called it a bath and "called" his Grandma.
