Grandma's are the best!



We had a great visit with Nancy! The boys and I picked her up at the airport on last Tuesday. Adam and Jack were being shy at first, but they warmed up fast. Nancy's first morning here was not a typical morning. Jack had woken up with puke in his crib. He must have gotten sick sometime in the night. So, that morning was full of screaming, crying and emergency baths. During the days of Wednesday and Thursday we mostly stayed home and relaxed. Well, entertaining and taking care of 2 toddlers isn't exactly relaxing, but we didn't do a whole lot. On Thursday, I went in my basement for an hour or so to start cleaning it. (This has been a huge project that Chad and I have procrastinated for awhile.) So, on Thursday, every time I decided to step away, Adam and Jack would cry hysterically. They are both clingy at this age, but this particular day was extreme. During dinner time, I let Nancy finish up with the boys and I went to start their bath. As I barely get up the stairs, Nancy annouces that Adam got sick everywhere. Poor little guy. Poor us too, it was disgusting! We decided that explained why he was so upset all day. After the boys went to bed, I checked on them an hours or so later. Adam had gotten sick again! Everywhere! Ugh! So, another emergency bath, while Nancy disinfected the crib and Chad took care of the bedding. Friday morning I got puked on. Again, emergency bath. We stayed home anticipating another puke episode, but there was none. Saturday all were healthy. Nancy and I took the boys to the mall, then we cleaned the basement. Yes, Nancy and I. We knocked it out in a couple hours and it looks great! Thanks, Nancy! Later, we went to Courtney's house to watch Kinsey for date night. (Once a month Courtney and I babysit for each other so we can go out to dinner with our hubbys!) Sunday, we didn't do much. Monday, we took the boys to lunch, then came home to play. Monday night Chad and Nancy had a bowling competition going on. They played the Wii for hours! Chad was a little bent out of shape because Nancy was giving him a run for his money! From what I heard, Chad won 9 games and Nancy won 8... until her next visit. Chad had better start practicing! Now, today is Tuesday, Nancy is gone and we are back to our same old routine.
