Mimi flew in last Friday to hang out and go to Daddy's OCS graduation. We were so excited to have her. Unfortunately, Chris' plans changed and he wasn't allowed to come home on Saturday as planned. We were all so disappointed. We hadn't seen him in 2 1/2 weeks and to have his plans changed broke everyone's heart.
Having Mimi visit helped. Saturday we got donuts and then ran to the store. We made ourselves a Chinese lunch and enjoyed ourselves. Tanner was pretty thrilled with his Chinese food. It's his favorite kind of food.
On Sunday Tanner wasn't feeling well, so Mimi and Tanner stayed home from church and played legos for hours together. They were so cute together.
They build quite a few cool star wars ships.
Monday was labor day, Tanner was off school and still recovering from being sick, so we just stayed close to home. Mimi and Tanner worked out in the yard. Tanner was Mimi's sidekick.
Tucker wanted to help too. I kind of love this little naked body.
That night we played in the water table and then grilled hot dogs.
These three are so cute.
Yummy hot dog dinner. So fun.
Tuesday Tanner went to school and Mimi and the rest of us just ran errands and stuff. It rained that night so soccer was cancelled. Which was nice, we were able to just hang out at home.
Wednesday was Bailey's first day of preschool. Mimi kept Tucker while I took Bailey to school- which was so convenient . Then because Bailey was on the verge of getting sick and Tanner was getting over it, we skipped our classes on Wednesday. Thursday we finally heard from Daddy and found out he was flying home and would graduate from OCS on Saturday. It was amazing news!!.
Tanner went to school on Thursday and while he was gone, we got laundry done and got all ready to go to graduation. Friday after Bailey got out of preschool and Tanner got off the bus, we drove down to Little Rock.
We spent the weekend with Mimi and Daddy in Little Rock for OCS graduation and then came back Sunday afternoon. Mimi left first thing Monday morning.
I can't even begin to express how grateful I am that Mimi was here during the last week of Chris being gone. I was at my wit's end and exhausted and she helped so much. We spent each night watching "The Paradise" and eating junk food. We hung out during the day and got lots of projects done. She's awesome and I feel so blessed to have such an amazing mother-in-law. She seriously saved me!
Mimi and Grandpa are coming back in November for a few days and we are all excited to see them!
