After our visit to City Museum, we stopped at Steak and Shake and got lunch and came home, while all the Grandparents went out to lunch on the hill (stinkers, and I noticed that not one of them brought me any yummy leftovers...boo). After lunch, we all took a nice long nap, while Grandma and GrandDude did the obligatory run to Target (I think this was their second run).....when they got back, the girls were up and ready to play! We watched a video and chilled until GrandDude and Grandma Carol came up...well, GrandDude came up first.....and was quickly immersed in Shrek with the girls....
Olivia hanging with Daddy....
Apparently, it's cooler to hang out with GrandDude....
Matt says this picture proves that he really IS my Dad, because like me, whenever he sits still for too long, he falls asleep...Olivia has inherited this trait as well.....Matt calls her Little Jeni.....
HA HA HA...I LOVE this picture...it goes down as one of my most favorite pictures EVER! Sadly, Carol missed it....
ahhhhh..mooching off of Grandparent's a favorite for ALL Grandchildren! Sydney is no different, however she just likes to mooch, doesn't matter WHO it is!
Grandma decided that everything needed a little livening up...so she and GrandDude gave the girls their Easter Presents....a big hit as always. You can tell Grandma has practice at getting awesome stuff, since the girls always LOVE the things she gets them!
YES! New dresses! Awesome....the girls love clothes and Mommy and Daddy LOVE when someone else buys them clothes! :)
Dance Party...
TIRED....
A little later, after present time, my Uncle John and Aunt Nancy, who live in southern Missouri came over to spend the evening...sadly it was an eventful evening, but it reminded me how much I ADORE my finished basement! Here we are hanging out before dinner....
After dinner, we busted out the wine...which we made sure to take downstairs when the sirens went off. My poor Dad was freaking out, especially as Matt and went around the house getting all our tornado stuff (my bag with cash and a couple emergency items and shutting all the doors)...poor guy.
Watching the news....we never even lost satellite, shockingly enough! In 2006, a tornado hit in our neighborhood, so we know what the train sounds like, and it really does sound like that....they were not so happy to hear that when we shared that information. Apparently tornados have a tendancy to hit again in the same places due to the terrain...not good to hear. :(
Playing with our basement toys....and the few that we HAD to bring with us...of course we brought our wubbies and our hippo pillow pets......and a couple more stuffed animals....
Sadly, an area very close to where we used to live was hit pretty badly. All of those families are in our prayers, thankfully no one was killed. Gotta thank the weather service and basements for that. PAY attention people to these weather warnings and PLEASE take them seriously....getting off my soapbox now....
I hope you and your loved ones were not affected,
J
