The kids were eagerly awaiting the arrival of their grandparents on Saturday night. We kept them pretty busy by giving baths/showers and cleaning up the little bits and places that still needed some attention. The kids were wild with excitement at seeing their grandparents here. Thankfully, it didn't take too much to get them calmed down for bedtime (or maybe I don't remember that part b/c Rob put them to bed.)
The next morning Miss Anna decided to wake up at 5am and join her grandparents. We stopped her and got her to stay upstairs until 6am, but she woke up her brothers in the process. So we were a rather tired group of people attending church that morning! Poor Rob had red rings around his eyes, but at least he and I were at the nursery desk during the morning service. Well, we crossed paths, at least. He manned the desk while I was in choir and then I took over when he left for work. He worked all afternoon, poor guy!
After lunch, we took a little tour of Watertown, hitting a few places my parents wanted to see again. Then we ended up at McDonald's for ice cream cones and some playtime for the kids. Rob came home and grilled up a delicious dinner of chicken, pork, and loads of veggies. We did s'mores over the grill and we all went to bed happy and well-fed.
On Memorial Day itself, we took to the park early to avoid the heat (and crowds). We fed the ducks and then played at the park. Then we headed home to avoid the heat, had lunch, and my folks took off. We took off as well and met Rob after work to do a little shopping. Then it was home to grill again for supper!
And now I think I'm done!!
