Grandma's visit!

Last week, my mom came to visit from St. Louis. She arrived Tuesday morning and left Saturday afternoon. Our first adventure was to find her luggage which was lost in Chicago. This has happened before when my parents came to visit, and they got a travel vouchure which almost covered the cost of their trip. So we jokingly said it should happen again...and it did! It wasn't really a big deal... we got $75 for making another trip back to the airport. And she was only without her luggage for a few hours.

I just realized I don't have many good pictures from her visit b/c we also used her camera...I'll have to get some from her soon. Anyway, Our biggest accomplishments for the week were finding new shoes for MJ for the fall/winter, and making my Halloween costume. It is so great! My mom's camera has pictures of it, so I'll get those later.
Wednesday, my mom watched MJ while I took Joey to his last appointment with the specialist for his foot. It's pretty much corrected itself, so we don't have to go back again. In the afternoon, we rode bikes to a park... way to go Mom!
Thursday my mom watched the boys while I went to volunteer at first choice and then I enlisted her to help mail out some invitations for first choice.
Friday we were sad our visit was almost over, but we did some shopping and a lot of work for the Halloween costumes. I'm so glad she was able to take off and visit. We may sound busy, but she's even busier!
