Day 265 - Happy 84th Birthday Grandma!
Monday, September 22, 2008
Today is my grandma's 84th birthday. Since it's also the end of the fiscal year and Jeff had to take off on Friday, he ended up working today. My mom and I took the kids to St. Louis to see my grandma and my aunt (who is still visiting from Hawaii). We ate at a Chinese buffet and got a DQ ice cream cake. We played some cards, had a visitor, stopped by Eckert's Farm Store and then drove back to Indiana.
I forgot my camera again, so I'm posting some outdoor/evening pictures that Jeff took of the museum. My aunt is supposed to send me some pictures of Grandma's birthday, so I'll post them when I receive them...
On an even brighter note, I was able to pawn my package of frozen beef stroganoff off on my mom - even after she read my blog. Either she's really brave or she's planning on being really cruel to my stepdad...
The cMoe was on the agenda for today. I knew the kids would enjoy it, but I think some of the adults had just as much fun! I'll have to post more pictures in another post, because I took so many. Even 83 year old Grandma Re got in on the action!
The kids and I spent the night at my mom's house last night. My grandma is visiting from St. Louis, and my aunt & uncle are visiting from Hawaii. They brought my cousin's two kids, Gabe (3) and Samantha (11). Despite the suffocating heat, we decided to go to the zoo. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it was still pretty hot and muggy! The kids have had fun playing together. It actually works out perfectly that Rachael & Samantha are only about 6 mos. apart, and Nick & Gabe are only about 4 mos. apart. After the zoo, we headed to Hardee's for a late lunch. I imagine that we'll be having a small dinner followed by a night of card-playing...
