It's Always Fun When Grandpa Comes


My dad was in town for a couple days worth of business so we got to see him for a few hours. He drove up yesterday to see the boys and shower them with gifts. And he came by this evening to play with them again and then the adults ONLY went out to eat. It was lovely. The waitress spilled two Cokes on our table so we got another night out for free. Woo hoo clumsy, nervous new girl.






I love that my dad gets down on the floor to play with the boys. He's a fantastic grandpa.
We took advantage of having a sitter and saw Oceans 13 after dinner. Dad wasn't interested (was too tired and had to "go fold his puptent"). So it was just me and Doug. Fun to do something on the spur of the moment and it was a good flick. Much better than Oceans 12.
We got home to a quiet house. The sitter said the boys went to bed without a problem which is a big yeehaw! We've only just started having other people put Bode to bed and he's done great with it.
