We are back from our mini vacation and I am exhausted. We left here Thursday and stopped in Rockford before heading to my mom's house. Friday we spent most of the day playing inside and outside. We met my grandma for lunch. I was really glad to get to see her, but I wish grandpa could of come too. I was able to give her the picture we took at Christmas with all 4 generations of girls. It turned out really cute. Then my mom rented some movies for us to watch and none of them were any good. So we ended up talking til 3am and I went to bed that night at 4am because Monkey woke up and then woke GG up and she started coughing. She coughed for an hour before she was able to fall back asleep. Saturday mom took the kids and I shopping at JcPenny's. GG got a summer dress and Monkey picked out a shorts outfit. We had GG try some of the dresses on that we picked out to make sure they fit and looked ok. She is such a ham. She tried the dress on then went to the mirror and did different poses to see if she liked the way it looked on her. She ended up with a really cute red and white checkered dress with flowers on the bottom. Then we went to another store and the kids got some toys from Nana. This was their Easter present from her. GG got Cinderella and Belle Disney princesses that are the same type of thing as the polly pockets. Monkey got another dinosaur and a snake. And they each got a water gun which they can't wait to use!!! They had a pack of two guns, one was purple (GG's favorite color) and the other was green (Monkey's favorite color) so that worked out great!!! We went to Subway for lunch and the kids ate everything. Then we went to my grandparent's old house in the next town over for a family gathering. We got there in time for ice cream, GG got chocolate and Monkey got vanilla. The kids got to play with my cousins' kids so that was fun for them. Then we headed to Rockford again for a surprise Anniversary celebration. That really wore the kids out and me too. There were so many kids there to play with and a lot of good food. I had a hard time getting the kids to leave. We got home at 9:15 just in time to see J for a little bit before he went to work. Then we lost an hour last night of sleep due to the time change. We didn't make it to church because the kids didn't sleep good. Monkey was up for about half an hour and GG was coughing all night. I can't tell if she has allergies or getting a cold. I need to get her and Monkey tested soon.
