Girls Camp and Grand kids visit

After vacation it is always hard to get back into the flow of things. Monday June 23rd  Don left for girls camp by 8:30am. When I got home from working out at curves he was gone and the house was silent.
 I filled my time by getting some needed grocery shopping done, and I visited my mother-in-law. When that was done I did some purchase returns. I got home about 12:30 and Julaine was going to be at my house within the hour because she was dropping of the kids and heading to girls camp for an evening. When she got their we made some cookie dough truffles for her to take up to the girls in her ward. Addison had so much fun finger painting last time she was over we decided on a rerun.



 After we were done with the finger painting I did a few dishes and she wanted to play in the bubbles.
She really played a long time and was really absorbed in what she was doing.




 Checking up on Felix to make sure he was still asleep. What a cutie!!!
 Addison and I played a couple games of this matching game



 She loves these little turtles. She asked if she could take them home with her but I told her the game would not work without them and she could play it anytime she comes to my house.
  

Julaine stayed the night and spent most of Tuesday with me
Addison and I played hide and seek. I don't really get much of a chance to hide because as soon as I find her she's off to a new hiding place. It's not hard to find her though her she is trying to hide.


Did she really think this pillow covered her so I wouldn't find her
 Surprise I found you!
It was delightful having them over for those two days. I only had Wednesday and Thursday where I was all alone. I really don't sleep good when Don isn't here. 
Friday evening after we had all our cleaning done we went to Clifford's for a fish fry.

 Doesn't that look delicious. They make the best fish fry!!
I wanted to see the movie Mirror Mirror at the Budget but they changed the times and the last showing for the evening was at 5pm and I didn't look at the listings till 5:30pm BUMMER. We could have easily went to the movie first and then to dinner. So we stopped at a red box and rented the movie The VOW. When the movie was coming to a close I yelled out No that can't be the end. Then the rest of the story was given in writing and i was o.k. Both of us enjoyed it

 Saturday Julaine and Jason came into town to take Addison to a birthday party. After the party they came over and spent some time with us. Don, Jason and Addison went swimming at Hales corners while Julaine and I took a nap with Felix When they got back from swimming we babysat while they went out to dinner

 Addison just had to get in the picture because Felix was getting too much attention

 I wish this would have turned out better I just love Felix's look
Don took the kids to the park and had fun with them while I finished working on the Sunday School lesson.

What a great post!! I loved the pictures of Addison finger painting. She really loves to be involved in everything going on around her - like playing in the bubbles. Seeing the picture of the fish fry made me hungry. I do miss Clifford's fish!!! You are such a great grandma, mom. I love how involed you are with Felix & Addison. Julaine is lucky to have you!!!
