A Visit From Nana!!

My mom retired this summer and we have been anxiously awaiting for her to come and have a "vacation" at our house!!!  Something about having company just makes cooking dinner or even doing laundry more fun.  We had a very busy 2 weeks filled with lunches at school, baking cookies, building puzzles, eating ice cream, donuts, and anything else sweet for that matter! LOL!!,  and so much more!

Everyone hard at work creating "boo-tiful" cookies.  Chloe volunteered to be our "quality control" person, and took the liberty of doing regular taste testing. LOL!

Group picture!  Such fun memories.

Don't they look "spook-tacular".  LOL!

   Unfortunately the weather for the majority of the time Nana was here was windy and cold.  So, we had to find ways to entertain ourselves indoors... by shopping,

and building puzzles....

and more shopping....

and piggy back rides...

and even MORE shopping!!!  LOL!

Oh how I've missed having my mom close to enjoy her company on a regular basis.  For those of you who live near your mom, or even have family of any kind in the same town, consider yourself blessed!!!!  After two cram-packed weeks of fun, it was hard to say goodbye.  At one point I had all 3 kids in tears the day she left.  It was terrible and absolutely heart-breaking.  Rest assured the kids are already making lists of things to do with Nana on her next "vacation" to our house.
