Grandpa ElRay & Grandma Susie Visit

Grandpa ElRay and Grandma Susie are here for a visit this weekend.  Hooray!

Yesterday they went to see Spencer's class put on some Greek plays while Tess and I went and got our hair done did.  (I had already rescheduled my hair appointment a couple of times when the teacher let us know about the Greek plays.  I love Spencer, but there was no way I was going to Taiwan with bad hair.) ((Vanity, thy name is woman!))

This morning my dad and I put in the last of my garden, with a little help from Tess.  And by help I mean Tess got dirty and stepped on the seeds and stuff.  But that's okay, because I've never had a garden without the help of a toddler; it's all I know.

After that I got an ominous call from the school - apparently Spencer was really nauseous and needed to come home.  Grandma and Grandpa to the rescue again!  Although I had to go down there in my not-too-clean gardening clothes, at least I didn't have to take Tess and Cole with me!  Spencer looked a bit green when I picked him up.  But my sympathy faded when he explained that he felt fine all morning until they started watching a movie and eating doughnuts (multiple) and drinking chocolate milk.  That, combined with the Pink Walrus frozen yogurt from the night before and the FIVE pancakes he ate this morning, plus the summer cold he's been battling, no wonder he felt sick!  Within an hour of being home he was feeling much better.  Harumph.  But since it was a Friday and it's the end of the school year, I just kept him home and let him play on computer.

Grandma, Tess, and Cole and I went to Moe's for lunch while Spencer recuperated (read: played Minecraft) at home.  Both kids were so well behaved!  It's so nice to be able to go out to eat and not have to worry too much about their behavior anymore.  (Well, usually...)

This afternoon we dragged all four children down to Columbian Park Zoo.  It was a quick trip, but a good one because all of the animals were getting fed and it was super cute.  You could tell all those animals knew it was feeding time - the goats were going crazy, bleating at the workers.  The pig squealed and grunted and demanded her food.  (That was Tess's favorite.)  The cutest were the river otters - they literally banged on the windows to the little building in their area, demanding their dinner!

Anywho, no one wants to read about zoo animals.  What you want to see are pictures of my children!  (Haha, okay, yeah.)  Well, here's my Hoosier crew:


How appropriate they're on a tractor!

Of course, no pictures with Grandpa and Grandma yet.  Sheesh.  Hopefully tomorrow we can rectify this.
