GIGI CAME TO VISIT, HOORAY!!!
We all look forward to when my mom comes to visit. It usually is accompanied by a suitcase full of goodies and being spoiled for a little while. And boy did she ever spoil me (which is so nice for a stay at home mom with three preschools to feel spoiled.)
We went to our most favorite place to shop...none other than Gardner Village. This is our tradition, and my new obsession is the fabric store. It is a sewers heaven. I get all my girls clothing patterns there and it's just so inspirational. Any ways, when we pulled into the parking lot, she told me she had a surprise for me. I gave her a blank stare and then she told me she had booked us hour long massages! I was both elated and mortified. I hadn't shaved my legs in a day or two! But hairy legs or not, I wasn't going to pass is up! I just had to give the gal a long explanation and my appologies just so she was clear that I would have normally shaved for such an occasion.
It was wonderful and accompanied by lunch and some shopping. The girls were super thrilled to see her. They were treated by bedtime storytime!
Dominoes
And loads of crafting lessons. Just kidding, they could have cared less about our crafting marathon, except when it came time to make them slippers. (My fabric store find)
Aren't they just darling. LOVE THEM!!!
A few months before she came, I asked her to help me redecorate the girls bedroom. I wanted it to be pink and girly. I found a Pottery Barn room that I loved and my mom made her own version. Bless her heart! She sewed three of these babies. I can't imagine how long it took her. We had them quilted while she was here and it was so fun to see them finally finished. Beautiful.
This was my project. Yep, that's right, I painted that joker on their bedroom wall. Pretty proud of it!
On her last day here and in celebration of all our hard work, we treated ourselves to some gormet cupcakes. They looked yummy, but we weren't so impressed with the taste. Sorry Cocoa Bean, but it's true.
She was smitten with Julianne
I caught Sophia enjoying her new revamped room and had to grab a photo.
My mom survived the week, but just barely. I guess that's the joy of being a grandparent. You get to skip town just when you think your nerves can't take it any longer. A funny story; she took the girls to a toy store to pick out something and they chose stick horses. She wanted them to put them in the car while we headed over to the distribution center to grab a few things. I told her just let them ride them to the store. She was mortified and just raised her eyebrows in submission. I know she was embarassed, but I thought it one of those good humbling moments. The girls created quite the site riding the calvalry into the store, but let kids be kids. It was fine until Sophia decided to gallop on out of the store. We sure do relax a lot once we become parents huh?

Boy have you been busy!
Those quilts are amazing, and I need more info on you wall painting. I think I've seen an almost identical vinyl thing for sale.
Cute stuff.
Wow, those quilts are awesome, as is the painting on the walls -- you're one talented mom!
