Our Surprise Guest

These last couple of days have been a busy whirlwind of days. I guess that is how it goes when you are supposed to be proping up your elephant feet and taking it easy.

My grandmother, my mom's mom, and my stepgrandpa Jim got here late Thursday night from Arkansas and was over here on Friday morning. This was a great surprise since I've only gotten to see her once since hurricane katrina. Her first act of duty as greatgrandma was a trip to WalMart or WalleyWorld as she calls it. Devin was of course happy to go, the boy is always asking me for walmart dollars.

Devin picked out a fishing pole kit that had a fishing pole, sunglasses, and a tackle box all in a little clear backpack. That backpack has now replaced the diaper bag because he thinks it's got to go everywhere with him. The need for a fishing pole actually shocked me since he has never been fishing in his entire life.

Heaven, being the shoe fanatic that she is, got a cute pair of flipflops. Give that girl a pair of shoes or a purse and she is on cloud 9! They even picked out a cute dress for the baby. This was the second time I have even allowed myself to look at all the frilly little girl clothes. It was fun.
Afterwards we grabbed some lunch and spent the rest of the evening relaxing around the house. Oh and of course she made, at my request, a chocolate cake from scratch and chocolate icing from scratch. Gotta love Granny's cooking, Yummy!!
