Grandparents Visit

Last week was a lot of fun and very productive for our family. John's Parents flew in last Wednesday and stayed until Sunday. The time flew way too fast for all of us...well at least John, the kids and I. The girls were thrilled to have Grandma & Grandpa at our house and would wake up every morning and ask where Grandma or Grandpa were and then spent the 1st 10 minutes of the day showing John and I that they were here.

Everyone was all tuckered out!

John and his dad did a LOT of work on the house. It rained the first day they were here but after that the weather was actually quite cooperative and almost warm at times. John and his Dad finished the siding on the back of the house-that was a huge task in and of itself, they got some more lights and outlet covers up inside and they cleaned and organized my basement. It looks so pretty and not nearly as scary as it has over the last couple of months. I may even dare go down there by myself again. :) Maybe...

I was able to spend a lot of good time with John's Mom who is an absolute sweetheart. She's was a sport following the girls around, dancing with them and was even able to do McKenna's hair a time or two. I was able to get out and do a little antiquing and a little shopping at IKEA where I did lose her for a while-it's a pretty big store. On the way home we saw the most beautiful rainbow, which we thought was just a half, but as we approached the freeway we found it to be a FULL rainbow. Almost crashed trying to get a good look at it, so didn't even attempt to get a picture. I know I enjoyed the adult girl time alone without the kids.
Saturday we all got out to the Park and had a little fun. Grandpa is a whiz with the camera and got a lot of good shots of us all.
Not so happy to be leaving
We were sad to see them leave, we don't get to see them nearly enough!

The house is looking great! What energy you all have to keep up the projects! Are you planning on taking a break when the baby comes? Good luck on delivery!
