Hanging with Grandma

We love having company here in Wisconsin. We are blessed to have my mom in town visiting for 5 nights! Yesterday, we packed so much into a day that it left every one of us utterly exhausted.
We began by going to see the "cheap" movie ($2.50 a person and a free popcorn) of "The Bee Movie." I felt like mom and I were pulling teeth to get the boys to see a movie, but they enjoyed themselves by gorging on popcorn and contraband Skittles.

We went straight from the movie to swimming at the pool. At first it appeared that our pool trip could be sabotaged from the surprisingly low humidity, breezy day we had yesterday. The boys quickly got cold and were ready to leave. Grandma and I just kept swimming, and they got right back in. Three hours later, we went home. Here were a few pictures that I really loved.





When we got home, Andrew and Brendan then took Grandma bowling for the fourth time this week. Upon coming back from that, Brendan insisted on going to this little park by our house while I cooked dinner, so they all trooped over there and played.

After dinner, we all got on our bikes (yes, even grandma!) and rode to the library to get Evan a Spiderman book. The library was having a special activity night, so we ended up playing with balloons, bubbles, and beanbags there. Finally, we arrived at home. Brendan talked Grandma into a game of Clue, and then they read books together until the boys fell asleep.

We had a wonderful time.

Looks like a great day! Tell mom I said hi, and ask her if she officially decided on a shower date yet?
