Josh's parents, Nina and Grandpa, came to stay with us for a few days. (Both my mom and Josh's mom wanted to be called Nana, but Miss O somehow morphed that into "Nina" over the years and it stuck!). When Josh's parents come to visit, it almost always involves working to finish the basement. We have outgrown our house much faster than we anticipated, so there has been much work going on over the past year or so to finish the basement to give us more room (slow and steady wins the race, right?).
Well, this weekend was quite to the contrary. We relaxed and played at home, mostly because both little monsters were running fevers, and poor Baby B was so congested she could hardly breathe! It was a nice change of pace, to be able to spend time with Nina and Grandpa without feeling like there was work to be done on the house.
Nina even brought a turkey and my favorite party potatoes (look for the how-to under the "recipes" tab!) for dinner, since we're not sure we're going to be traveling home for Thanksgiving. It was very thoughtful, and quite yummy!
Since Miss O wasn't feeling quite herself, she and Nina decided to put together a little bed in her wagon (yes, we have a wagon in our living room). They piled pillows from the couch into the bottom of the wagon and gave her a big comfy pillow for a backrest. She laid in the wagon with her blanket and baby and read books, watched Toy Story, and just relaxed. It was the cutest thing! When I asked her if she wanted to cuddle on the couch with mommy she answered, "No, thank you. I'm in my snuggle wagon". How adorable is that?
Very cute Rach! We had a Strider bike in our living room (or all over the house!) last week! All you can do is wipe off the tires and enjoy! That's the best part of being a mama, expect the unexpected and in those moments, you will find so much joy!! Hope your girls are on their way to feeling better:)
