my body was numb. i was reeling and trying to figure it out. and just like that we found out grandma was coming for the weekend. a desire and treat we dared not even ever dream about. not when you live this far away.
so on the way to school i explained to the kids that grandma was coming later that day. they too were shocked. usually it's a major count down when someone is coming to see us. isaiah kept saying, 'today?! today?!'
it was a great trip. the zoo, a neighborhood garage sale, dates and good food. (i think we said it was the most successful garage sales ever, and that's saying a lot since my mom has decades under her belt).
she cleaned my house, did my laundry, gave my husband and i time for a date. it was like she lived here. it was that normal.
thanks grandma for coming to be with us. you know we all love when you are with us.
this picture was taken by someone else at the zoo,
because i chickened out at the last minute and wouldn't go
into the laurakeet landing area.
we took a picture of their screen.
grandma kept her cool and didn't scream, which would have scared the kids...
but she wanted to!

totally exciting!! i drove by your neighborhood this weekend and saw the sign for neighborhood garage sale and said to myself surely Natalie would have texted me at least if this was any good so i kept on driving. i am so bummed
Good call on skipping the lorikeets. I've been pooped on EVERY time we've gone, and the last time the pooped on the digital camera and the zoom hasn't worked right since. Gross, gross, gross!
