Weekend with Grandpa and Grandma

Grandpa and Grandma were here this past weekend. Which means we were busy.


They drove in late Thursday night which gave us all day Friday and Saturday and part of the day Sunday to play.

Friday morning we packed up and went to the zoo. We haven't been out to the zoo at all this summer because of the heat. It was on the warm side (90's), but the kids had a great time. We stopped at the Forest Park Boathouse for lunch - fun to try new things! After some rest time at home (or paint time if you are Daddy), we ate some dinner and hit the pool for some swim time.

Saturday we had some rain/thunderstorms come through. We decided to try out the Magic House, a new venue for our family. The kids LOVED the place so much that William cried when we had to leave. I wasn't as much of a fan because the place was PACKED. It was wall to wall people and kids everywhere. The kids were having such a great time running from thing to thing, they didn't always notice we weren't right behind them. Stressful! Saturday evening we got to FINALLY move William's new bed into his room. We have been working and working on this furniture! William has been so patient!


William made a great big bubble around himself
Amelia made beautiful music
And played with water for a long time
John and I found a sign that made us laugh out loud. I'm sure William regularly asks 437 questions a day before lunch time.
William changed a tire on a car - no time for questions here!
He also served up some ice cream While Amelia did some grocery shopping at Grandpa's store.

Sunday we bolted together the new bed we've been working on for William and moved some furniture around before heading out for some lunch.


William's new captain bed - drawers now installed
Amelia was pretty excited about her "new"bed from William's room
She tucked herself in right away!
The best part of his new bed? The hideaway (aka: how to give your mother a heart attack)
Our "helpers" supervise the construction of the bed
Amelia adores her polka dot sheets. She was very concerned when I took her mattress off to move in the new bed!
