Memorial Day with Grandi & Gramps

Ted's parents came to visit us over Memorial Day weekend. Madi decided to show off her Pledge of Allegiance skills to them.
And she insisted that everyone else participate as well...
Ted and David worked their tails off over the weekend making home repairs. They even got rid of my hideous pink toilet and replaced it with a normal white one! While installing a new door in the crawl space, Ted took this picture of his dad. Well, his dad's hand, at least. I threatened David all weekend that if he made me mad, he was going to have to stay in the crawl space. Ha!!
Aunt Kate wasn't able to come this trip, but she sent along my birthday present. In honor of the big 3-0, she sent 30 presents. One was a pair of reading glasses to help me read with my aging eyes. (Ha ha) I never got the chance to try them out though.
And Madi wasn't the only one who like them.
Madi seriously wore them EVERYwhere. She called them her "Aunt Kate glasses" (because Kate has a similar style of glasses).
Since Grandi and Gramps were here, Madigan insisted that we have our traditional tea party.
Gramps willingly obliged. Funny story - last week, a boy from Madi's school came to play at our house. She mentioned wanting to play tea party and I told her that he might not want to since boys didn't usually like having tea parties. She frowned and said, "Well Gramps does!"
Other activities included painting and labeling some garden markers that Grandi and Gramps brought.
Here's Madi's garden with her handwritten signs!
I personally LOVE this picture. Bet you can't guess why...
Paxton loved having Grandi and Gramps around and decided he wanted to be like Gramps when he grows up. He started by wearing his shoes.
And then moved into his socks!
We had a wonderful time with Grandi and Gramps as always. So glad they got to come visit in the new house! Hopefully Gramps will rest up from all of the manual labor soon... :)
