Nana visits

Nana came to visit us. We had so much fun and tried to pack in everything we wanted to do in a short amount of time. She brought lots of fun games and crafts and the kids had a great time with her.  I don't know how she knew but Ben loves these rocket launchers. They were launched up into the front trees many times. We got them to go really far. Ben would do all different ways to launch it. He would jump up and then sit on it. It looked like it hurt him but he was fine. They love it.

We have lived in this house for two years and we still haven't bought furniture for the front room. We have shopped but never bought anything. I decided that I wanted to make a reading nook in the bay window. The kids are constantly there reading. I got fabric to make a seat and some pillows. It was fun to sew and create it with my mom. I probably would have never finished it if I had taken on the project by myself. We also have curtains there now so the kids can hide away in there. They have really enjoyed it. I love it. Now I have to find furniture that goes along with my window seat. That may be a little more difficult.

 We took some much needed family pictures. We had fun one morning at Hidden Pond Nature Center. It was a lot colder than we thought it was and didn't last really long.

The first full day my mom was here we went to the outlet mall and went shopping. It was fun and nice. My mom took Ben in to the Lego store while I went to a few stores by myself. Claire was asleep so they just played there. Up until now Ben didn't know that you could buy stuff at the Lego store. He came home with 3 Lego men that he created and he hasn't put them down since. He LOVES them.

It was a wonderful visit and we miss Nana already.
