We couldn't keep Grandma and Grandpa forever, and we bogged them down with chores, so by the end of the week they were ready to go. Grandpa was a big help with some tasks we'd been saving around the house- especially after he installed ceiling fans in our bedrooms. Things are much more comfortable upstairs now. Their other main task was to keep Henry and I entertained all week. We had a great time.
Henry discovered the comedy of Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. I think he likes it.
Henry also fell deeply in love with his new Dick and Jane book and took every chance to read it out loud to anyone who would listen. (Grandpa got to listen to a lot of it while he installed ceiling fans.) On Sunday, he brought it downstairs and read us 70 pages straight. Way to go, Buster!
Top on Grandma's agenda (besides ALWAYS volunteering to change dirty diapers) was haircuts for the whole family. Since my hair grows straight forward and is always in my face, mama won't let me grow it long- even though it is what papa and I want.
But my new short 'do is pretty cute. Thanks Grandma!
Next up was mama's haircut. While she got her hair cut, I grabbed her sunglasses and beer and chilled out in the lawn chair. Like we told Grandpa, this is Southern living.
You can't really see it, but Grandma got Georgie a cute little dress with fish on it. Georgie liked it so much she gave Grandpa a big smile.
Now that Grandma's gone, there aren't nearly as many arms to hold George. She doesn't really care for that.
Mama bribed us with cookies to get a nice picture with Grandma and Grandpa. Of course, she also forgot to turn on the flash for all the good smiles. At least we're not picking our noses.
I even got to hold Georgie on my own (kind of)! Today, I thought I'd be funny and started calling Georgie "Christopher" again. I thought this was hilarious.
Thanks so much for spending the week with us, Grandma and Grandpa! We couldn't have done it without you!
