The kids have seen their grandparents 4 of the last 5 weekends. To say they've been spoiled rotten is probably an understatement. I've been hearing all sorts of things like, "I don't want to go to the grocery store. I want to go to the zoo." and "But Grandma lets me!"
We spent one quick night in Lubbock on the way to Dalhart at the beginning of February. It happened to be Abuelo's birthday, so the kids got cupcakes. And Daniel got to stay up late to watch a big portion of the Olympic Openeing Ceremony. We didn't have much time in Lubbock that trip, so that's all the spoiling that happened that day.
The next weekend Abuelo and Abuela came to help me out (in a big way!) by babysitting several days while I worked. The kids got to do things like go to the zoo, play at the park, go out to eat, and just give-me-all-your-undivided-attention things.
The weekend after that we went to Lubbock again, this time for the RA reunion. The kids spent a good portion of the time with Abuelo and Abuela, giving us a chance to visit with friends. The highlight of that weekend was definitely going to the science museum. Daniel has not stopped talking about the triceratops they saw. They also got a big bag full of new clothes - that may have been more a spoiler for me. :)
The weekend after that it was just us. The kids loved that. Haha!
Last weeked David and I took a trip to Washington DC sans kiddos! My parents came to babysit for four days, giving us a chance to feel like real people instead of Mommy and Daddy. The kids hit the zoo, the library, and Nikki's Swirl Shoppe. Grandma brought all kinds of junk from her house to ours, including a seashell collection, a big bag of buttons, and sticker books.
We're super grateful that the kids were able to spend so much time with their grandparents and that they have them in their lives to love on them. Too bad now they have such a big adjustment to our regular life! David and I have been singing, "Back to life, back to reality." The kids get a big kick out of that....
