A week ago Thursday, my mom came down to visit. It's been a little crazy since then ;-) She was going to leave Wednesday, but was able to stay until Friday...yeah! Here are a few highlights!

Friday: Elizabeth's pre-school bowling field trip. Then lunch and shopping because Grandma and Elizabeth wanted to buy new matching outfits. Daddy worked on building a fence for other Grandma.

Saturday: Ladies Tea and Fashion Show where Grandma and Elizabeth wear their new matching outfits :-) More shopping. Then Grandma and Mom go to a Tastefully Simple party and also pick up some Southern Living at Home items for great prices--Thanks Detra! More fence building for Daddy (Sorry, the picture from the fashion show isn't very clear)

Sunday: Church (late because we got stuck behind an accident), Cousin A.J.'s birthday party

Monday: Laundry and making dolls with Grandma (Grandma did the sewing. Elizabeth helped with the tracing. Mommy did tracing and cutting.)

Tuesday: Elizabeth has school. Go to movies to see Horton Hears a Who. Have dinner with Cousin Tashina and her boyfriend Josh. Yea for finding a YUMMMY Ethiopian restaurant! We were very impressed with the directions, T! :-)

Wednesday: Drive up to see the Air Force Memorial. Find Grandpa and Great Grandpa's names. Stop by IKEA on the way home. Buy a bench for kitchen table that is WAY too long...good thing it's safe to use for outdoor furniture because now it's on the front porch.

Thursday: Making more dolls. Elizabeth has dance and gymnastics. Decide during dinner that Elizabeth is going home with Grandma tomorrow without Mommy or Daddy! Hurry up to pack!

Friday: Elizabeth and Grandma pick up a friend and head to Grandma and Grandpa's house, get a flat on the way, and deal with pouring rain. Elizabeth learns how to get trucks to honk. They finally arrive after 13 hours, though the drive is normally only 9 hours.

I don't have pics of the dolls because Elizabeth took them with her, but we used the pattern shown HERE and modified it for our preferences.
