.i was so blessed that my mom was able to come watch b while i had parker. when andrew and i would joke about going into labor (we seriously joked because we both know my body dont know a thing about going into labor on its own)..anyways when we joked about my body going into labor i would STRESS out about what to do with brooklynn. seriously stress out. i know things would of worked out for us, if that was the case, but i was SO happy when i knew brooklynn was at home, with my mom, playing and safe. i cried when i kissed brooklynn goodbye to go have parker. pathetic i know... but i have never left her overnight, or over a period of 5-6 hours.
.anyways. i LOVED having my mom here. and i wont lie, i cried pulling away from the airport after dropping her off. its easy when we are away from each other, and we talk a lot on the phone, but its HARD when she visits and than i have to say goodbye. i am close to my mom, and i LOVED every minute of having her here. i laughed so much the week and a half with her. mostly because we were both tired from staying up with parker boy, and so stupid things seemed SO FUNNY to us.
.we shopped, shopped shopped. we slept on the hide-a-bed together with parker boy. we laughed, laughed, and laughed some more. we when out to lunch a couple times. we got ice cream and $1 drinks at mcdonalds. we were late to everything. . . it was just a great week and a half.
.thank you mom for being there for me...all the time. thank you for being such an amazing mother, and even more amazing grandmother to my kids. thank you for being my best friend, and for all the tears we shed together...during our serious talks, and during our times of stupidity. thank you for loving me through my weaknesses. i love you mom. i cant wait to see you soon, and i cannot wait until our next time together. thanks mom, it seriously means a lot.
.and now onto the pictures of what we did with grandma mcdonald.
.we had bath time... i think my mom bathed brooklynn almost every night. . . one night my mom had brooklynn laughing really hard, i told andrew to go grab the camera and video tape them. . . and so we got it on video...brooklynn got a little excited, a little TOO excited...and showed grandma her appreciation of making her laugh during bath time in her own little way..
.TMI WARNING...this same night, mom was trying to fish something out of the bath... she kept saying, "i dont know what this is in the tub" or "i just cant get it"...well we come to find out its grapes...from brooklynn...brooklynns butt. mom had fed her grapes, and she had pooed them out the same size as they went in...and here is my mom trying to fish them out...SICK.
.we changed many diapers....
.if you look REAL close you will see dark wet spots on andrew's pants....yep, Parker boy got him while changing his diaper...hilarious...until it happens to me. i swear this boy got me EVERY TIME i changed him the first week of his life...i am not use to outdoor plumbing.
.so brooklynn put up a fight when grandma tried to put her p.j.'s on...well grandma showed her...she stuck her foot in the WRONG leg and made Brooklynn walk....
.just kidding...grandma didnt do it on purpose, she was just super tired, and just didnt get her feet in the right spot...(above) is grandma showing A LOT of symphony to Brooklynn...aka laughing at her.
.brooklynn looked at her like, "what the heck grandma", and would squeal, it was hilarious.
.oh, but when grandma is fully rested, and not so tired...she knows how to dress brooklynn JUST FINE. (below).
.oh yes, you guessed it, grandma did this to Brooklynn as well. awesome.
.we also took grandma to one of our favorite places...funtastic playland. we love it cause it costs us $3, and because it wears brooklynn out.
.this is how most of grandma's time was spent at funtastic... dont let the other pictures fool you...she loved on parker.
(above). So i have to tell you about this sign i finally got a picture of. the FIRST time we ever went to funtastic (just andrew and i and miss b) andrew climbed right on in the bounce house with brooklynn and a few other kids.
.i stood outside the bounce house and laughed when i read this. 1-Only 8 KIDS at a time. 2-Up to AGE 10 ONLY to jump. 3-NO ADULTS PLEASE. Violators will be prosecuted.
.i yelled to andrew, "did you not read this?"....i really wanted to leave him in there and not say anything and see if anyone else did...but I decided we wanted to come back, so it was not worth andrew getting embarrassed over.
.parker boy chillin with grandma.
.see my mom's HOT cheeta print p.j.'s!
.just getting some rays, showing off some muscles.
.b girl and her brother.
.of COURSE we had to take grandma to the alamo and riverwalk...okay, the only reason she wanted to go, was for her school slideshow...she totally used us. just kidding. we trooped it out...it was HOT...but a nice walk and of course PICTURES.
.it was HOT, and we were SWEATY. dont judge.
.other funny things that happened, that I dont have pictures of.
.mom and i are late for everything, especially with 2 kids...so we were running late to pick up andrew from work one day...and made every wrong turn possible. well here we are sitting in traffic, and mom says, "free vaccination? why would they have free vaccinations with a carwash?" i too, was extremely confused and said, "what? where?"...mom points over to the carwash and than says, "oh, free VACUUMS" yea, free vacuums, NOT free vaccinations. awesome mom.
.while sitting in traffic, this car kept honking its horn. mom thinks its the car behind me, i think its another car cause it doesnt sound like the car behind us. well it continues to honk its horn every time the light would turn green....i think there is NO way its honking at me because the light may be green, but i cant go because the intersection is either blocked, or there is no room on the other side to clear the intersection, or there is a cop car (yea-NOT going to block the intersection in front of a cop)...the horn honking goes again, and i guess mom was fed up, cause she reaches across and just lays on the horn right back at them...yea, dont mess with mom.
.doctor visit. mom went to a doctor visit with me, with BOTH kids. this is the SAME day we were already late to meet andrew for lunch. we get there, and of course i have paper work to fill out. well parker is screaming because he needs fed, so i quickly latch him on under a blanket, while mom fills out the paperwork for me. well brooklynn starts by throwing the toys on the ground (because they make a cool noise), than she starts pushing the chairs around (making another obnoxious noise) she was so busy, busy and got into everything. finally the doctor apt is OVER and we get in the car...first thing out of mom's mouth, "well i woud definitely find a babysitter for Brooklynn every time you need to go to the doctor for Parker"...thanks mom for the reassurance!
.doctor visit continued....parker gets checked out, and is poopy, so i change him real quick before the nurse comes in to poke him for his jaundice test....well he SPRAYS the table, and wall behind him...the nurses even said, "wow, he got it all the way over there...i have never had one get it that far...it also gets on his clothes (of course i have NO EXTRA outfit)...and my mom, oh yea, she LAUGHS.
.i know there is more, so if i think of more, i will write another post, but until than, this post will have to do. thanks mom for coming. thanks for the memories. thanks for the laughs. cant wait to do it again.
