Living it up


So my mom is here and the kids are running her ragged. They have a whole list of things they want to do and they seem to have to want to do it as soon as possible. I don't know what we'll do next week, but this week has packed full -- and it's only Monday.

Ellie decided a month or so ago that she wanted my mom to dye her hair pink. My mom will do a lot for her grandkids, but pink hair was not on the list. So instead she ordered a pink wig to wear and got Ellie a funky one too. Ellie of course decided that pink was more beautiful and has taken over the pink wig.


Nate has decided that my mom is his best friend and orders her around. Luckily, she still gets some cuddles too. Note what he is wearing -- yes, the ballerina costume. Why oh why does he love that thing?

And of course the apple pie. Ellie missed out on the apple pie at Thanksgiving, and since then she's been obsessed with making one. She and my mom went to the store and bought the apples and everything. The pie turned out delicious and now one more thing has been crossed off of her list.

Your mom rocks! It looks like everybody is having a good time! Oh, and that pie looks YUMMY!!!! I'm going to add that to my list for the next time she comes to your house!!! hint hint! ;)

It's ok about Nate and the ballerina outfit. If he is still doing that when he is 6, then I would worry!

Love ya Maddy!

I bet your kids are really cherishing their time w/ Grandma. What a nice grandma to go to the trouble of getting the pink hair. :)

Enjoy the rest of your visit! :)

Awww, it looks like the kids had an awesome time with Grandma. She looks like so much fun!

And I love that picture of Ellie and the pie. You MUST scrap that. Of course, knowing you, Maddy, you're all caught up and have nothing to scrap :-P
