So, we had a week of fun before our trip with our Nena. Nena is the best. That's just all there is to it. She goes, and does, and does some more, and never complains, rather looks forward to and treasures all the fun memories they make together. I know our boys wear her out, (they wear me out too!) but she knows that she needs to make the most of their time together, because our visits seem to end way sooner than they should!
On Tuesday, Nena took our 3 boys and cousin Crockett to the Dollar Tree where they each got to pick out 5 toys! This is a great idea, because it's cheap and the boys get to get anything they want. They are always so excited for Dollar Tree Day! The toys ranged from a basket of seashells (Braidy), three balls (Quin), a gun and handcuff set (John), and a pack of baby spoons and a sack of rocks (Crockett). Pretty funny stuff! After a couple hours at the D.T. Nena took J and B to the grocery store....and they did, indeed, buy the whole store! Our pantry and fridge have never looked so full!
On Tuesday, Nena and I cooked and cooked and cooked. We made homemade spaghetti gravy (spaghetti sauce for those of you who don't know what gravy is!), homemade lasagna, and homemade meatballs. Our freezer is stocked! It's amazing, and puts the cans in the grocery store to shame.
The rest of the week consisted of a trip to Chuck-e-Cheese, a dinner and ice cream, painting and finger painting on big posters, lots of home cooked meals, playing play-do, making meatballs, hanging out with Pops, lots of late nights "making memories", and lots of SPOILING! That's what grandparents are supposed to do, so Ryan and I let them stay up and pretty much do whatever when grandparents are around!
One funny story:
On the second night, Ryan and I were trying to get the boys to go to bed somewhat early, because they were exhausted from the night before, and Braidy kept getting up crying for Nena....and he told us, "But I just want to make some more memories!" ha! Nena and I were dying we were laughing so hard...and you know what?! It worked! Nena joined them in John's bed for another late night of making memories!
Here are some random pictures of our week!
