Weekend with Grandma!

Waiting for Grandma!!!
My Dad took a long Harley ride across the country last week so my Mom came to visit us! We were so excited to have her here for several days and I planned lots for us to do. She arrived Thursday night and made it just in time to go to a Kelly's Kids clothing party to help pick out some great fall stuff for our handsome little man! Friday morning we embarked on a shopping trip. This time, we were scouting dresses to wear to my cousin's wedding next month in Wisconsin. First stop, we struck gold and both found exactly what we were looking for. Connell was a great shopping buddy! We grabbed a quick lunch at the mall and Connell & Grandma went for a spin on the carousel. (That's 2 carousels in 1 week for Connell!) This one was quite a bit faster than the one at the zoo. I am kinda glad I wasn't the one riding it...



I am so excited about this dress (and that doesn't happen very often!) My hubby is soooooooo excited it's not black!!!!

After naptime, Connell & I got haircuts. It's so much easier with someone else there. Connell ran Grandma all over the place while I got my hair cut. His haircut makes him look like such a big boy! After haircuts, we met Daddy for dinner and then walked around the Indian Lake outdoor mall for a little while before bedtime. It was a long, fun productive day!

Saturday we did a little 'window' shopping at some little local shops and just played around the house. Connell's current favorite thing...his piggy bank. When you make a deposit, it plays 'twinkle twinkle little star.' Good thing Grandma had lots of change. Watch this video! He even does the sign for 'more' when he runs out of money. Maybe I should try that!!! :)



Saturday night, Tim and I got to go to dinner with our friends at one of our favorite restaurants. We enjoyed it so much! It was a great date night for us! According to Grandma, Connell was PERFECT!!!! Sunday we went to church and played more until it was time for Grandma to leave in the afternoon. We had a great weekend! Thanks Mom!!! We missed you Grandpa, but we are glad you had fun and made it home safely!
