Mimi & Grandpa Come to Visit

Mimi and Grandpa left today after being here for a little less than a week. They flew in because Grandpa had a grass seed meeting in Kansas City. So Mimi tagged along so she could come visit us. They arrived a week ago, Wednesday, right before the kids went to bed. The kids would not go to sleep without seeing them, so it was fortunate they arrived before bedtime. 

The next day we just hung out at home. Mimi and Grandpa ran some errands and that night we ate some delicious Thai food. 
The kids enjoyed lots of snuggles with Mimi and Grandpa. 

Friday morning Chris left for drill and Grandpa left for his seed conference. That just left Mimi, Me and kids at home for the weekend.
Because we know how to really party, it was about this time that Tucker came down with "Hands, Foot,  Mouth Disease". It was terrible. 
So we didn't leave the house all weekend. Tucker was miserable, Bailey was recovering from being sick and we just tried all weekend to keep everyone else healthy. 
Mimi and I also spent our nights watching netflix and eating "Ben & Jerry's" ice cream.
I have the best Mother-in-law ever.  
After two nights of basically no sleep, Chris returned from drill and helped out. 
Monday evening, Grandpa got home from his conference and we had dinner together. 
Tucker started feeling better around day 5 of the infection. So life got a lot better and we got to sleep again!
On Tuesday we took Mimi and Grandpa out to "The Wooden Spoon" to eat lunch.
Tucker and Bailey were a huge fan of the big porch swing. (Tanner was at school)
We all enjoyed our delicious food and the time together. 
That night we just hung out and chatted. 
Mimi and Grandpa had to leave first thing in the morning, but the goodbye's weren't too terrible because we are headed to Oregon next week to see them and everyone else. 

We are so grateful they made the effort to come see us. I know I appreciated the help and the kids loved all the snuggles and play time. We will see you in a little over a week Mimi and Grandpa and we can't wait!
