My mom and dad came to Washington for a visit this weekend. I love that my parents are willing to travel to see us. OK, so they come for the grandkids, but I think they like to see me and Ryan, too. With how far apart we live, the drive would have been too long and so they flew. I m pretty sure they never want to drive up here again, lol.
While they were here, we ate at some of our favorite place, went to Richland to go shopping and my momma went with me when I got my hair colored and cut. We got to spend some great time together and they got to spoil the grandkids. And boy were they spoiled! Food, clothes, toys, movies and all the hugs and kisses they could fit in! Ryan and I got to spend some time alone and were able to pick my dad's brain about lawn care and house repairs we may need to do. My mom was able to do some stuff on frontierville with me, I gave her a series of books I am reading and she bought me some new dishes. All in all, it was a great, but short visit.
I am not sure when we will be seeing them again, as we are staying in our small town for the holidays. The only trip to be made in the near future is Ryan's trip to Washington DC at the end of October. He gets to visit some awesome friends that we have not seen in about 6+ years, as well as go to The Smithsonian and Jon Stewart's rally. He is really looking forward to taking some great pictures and visiting the monuments down at The Mall. I can't wait to see them!
Ryan will be coming home just in time for Trick-or-Treating with the boys. This year Euan is going to be a shark and Brenyn a bat. Scary, scary!!!! We don't go door to door with the boys, because this town has many college students and you never know what you will get on the otherside of the door, but they have fantastic trick-or-treating events downtown that the boys go to every year. I am really excited to see what they come up with this year, because last year there were 3 haunted houses se up in businesses along the downtown streets.
Happy October, everyone!!!!!
