The Week After-It's Always Hard

Whenever my parents leave, we have to transition back to normal...whatever that means around here!  I'm a little sad, and the kids are a little weird, since we have all had constant companionship and entertainment. 

My parents are quite entertaining, you know.

I miss these moments so...

(If you can see the left side, it says,"Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Valentine's Day"...Michaela had high expectations for the week!)

Stealing smooches...from willing victims...

putting together new furniture...

doing laundry...wait!  How'd that get in here.  I don't miss that. 

Reading...(please...her toes...I can't stand it)

stealing smooches...from scared victims?

Making memories...saving memories...

puzzles...

There are so many things that I love about having my parents here.  And the way my kids love them is probably the number one thing.  The feeling seems to be mutual.

I miss you, Mom and Dad!  Come back soon!

So glad you had fun with your parents! Grandparents are the best! Your dad kind of reminds me of Santa Claus! :)

Looks like a lovely visit.
And I say "boo" to laundry.
I have to do about 2 to 3 loads a day.
Boo.

Vicki looks like she is is "heaven" with her grandbabies...makes me smile inside seeing her so content in her role as grandma.
