Wonderful weekend with Nana

 We had a special weekend with my mom.  She drove down here all by herself and stayed for 3 days.  That is a lot for my mom and we sure enjoyed her company.

 Earlier in the day Sherman and Bobby were changing the oil in his car.  The kids found the latex gloves and my mom made hand balloons for them.

 On the second day my mom was here, Abby just wasn't herself.  Loss of appetite, not really drinking to much and kind of clingy.  Needless to say she caught hold of the flu, high fevers and crankiness too.  Soon after, Bobby joined in and the following week my mom did too (bronchial pneumonia and the flu).  It lasted 8-10 days and the cough is still going strong.  The picture below is taken after my mom left, you can just see it in Abby's eyes.  Sherman is actually asleep in this picture.  **By the way, Sherman and I both avoided this flu!!!

What's for dinner?

I just love this picture of Abby.  She really loves to cook and loves to eat also.  I really enjoy my kids in the kitchen with me.  There are times of course when I would prefer it just to be me.  They get out every utensil, measuring cup and spoon along with a variety of other items.  It is fun to listen to them use their imagination and then also interesting when they mimic what you make for dinner.  Makes me think I need to re-do my menu!
