Its always fun when Grandma comes

I'm finally going to attempt and recall all the fun while my mom was here.  We started the fun in typical Reed style as I waited for my mom for an hour at the airport because she was at the departing flight entrance and I was at the arriving flights, she was literally one floor above me and I had no idea because her phone was dead.  Once we finally got her to our house we had a blast though.  

Our first day we headed over to the outlet malls and I had so much fun trying things on and not worrying if my kids were going to open the changing room door in the middle of me getting dressed.  Thanks for spoiling me mom.  Graham had a good time as well.

My mom bought Charlottes Web for Caroline and they read it every night.  She loved it as you can see from the picture and called my mom the night she left to continue to talk about the story.  

We also went to the zoo and looked a few animals but were more interested in playing at the playground.

Devin on the ropes, this is the kids favorite part of the playground.

Graham suprised me and was the first one to finish she ropes, he usually cries part of the way up.  I think he felt better holding my moms hand.

Playing at dragon park while waiting for Shawn to be able to come have lunch with us. 

And of course we had to make Halloween cookies.  

we had so much fun with my mom, we really wish we could see her more often.  Hopefully next time my dad can come and join in the fun.  Thanks again mom for taking care of me and the kids when I wasn't feeling well, putting up with my crazy kids, making me dinner and the million other things you did while you were here.
