Grandma Val arrived 2 days before the wedding. A couple hours after she arrived we headed off to the rehersal dinner. Poor Rosie was sick and had the WORST gas imaginable. I felt compelled to tell everyone I was talking to about the horrible gas, in case they thought it was me. Rose was really really upset all night until she had a gigantic poo explosion up the back, and then calmed down after that. And that seemed to be the end of the illness. The benefit of her being sick was that she slept in--a good thing when Grandma Val's bed was out in the family room, and Rose often wakes up at 6:30.
On Friday we did our usual trip to Mapleview Mall and Grandma Val got to visit her favourite shoe store. In the evening I went for mani/pedis with the bridal party.
The day after the wedding, there was a brunch at Grandma and Grandpa's and then the girls crashed. They were still tired from the wedding the day before. Well, Rose slept, and then Paige was just clearly overtired all day long. I think everyone was exhausted.
Grandma Val and Mike went to work on Monday, and on Tuesday Paige went to school while Grandma Val and I took Rose to her class, and then we had a dinner out at the Vietnamese restaurant. On Wednesday we took the girls to Amazing Adventures before Grandma Val had to leave to go home.
With the weddings and all the events involved in that, it was a really busy visit. Kinda nice to be busy, as there is often not a lot to do in January with a guest around here. We're hoping Grandma Val makes it an annual trip. AND we're hoping to have the basmement finished by next year, complete with a pull out sofa bed and room of her own to sleep in! We normally just lug the futon mattress back and forth in and out of the family room for her to sleep on at night. Then the bed has to be fully remade every evening. And then she has to put her clothes in Paige's room. Manageable, but not ideal. And pretty much impossible for the Pugsley's to ever come visit with Lizzy.
