Bits and Pieces: a visit from Grams

My grandmother came in town to visit and came over and spent the day with me and the boys. We had such a wonderful visit together! Sterling enjoyed her company and kept her extremely busy! Grams is extremely creative (I think Sterling gets some of that from her! And how come I couldn't have inherited more of that gene I don't know!) and she and Sterling made a bug catcher like she had made for herself at home. He also kept her busy playing games, reading, and telling stories. He has quite the imagination! I know Grams enjoyed every minute of it!

And, of course the, day wouldn't have been complete without playing play-doh for about an hour!

Judson was getting a little fussy so she picked him up and rocked him for a just a bit and he fell right to sleep! This NEVER happens like that...must be a great-grandmother's touch! :)

The next night my mom decided to treat us girls to a movie! We saw "Love Letter's to Juliet"...perfect girl's night movie!

The 3 generations

Oh my word, it took us like a million tries to get this picture just right!! It was pretty comical! Good thing there was only like 5 other people in the theater and they were teenagers!

And what night would be complete without some ColdStone Creamery! MMMM!!

She missed the silly face memo!

Wait, now I missed it!

We love you Grams!!

Sterling covered up with a blanket all by himself and then says, "Mommy I'm a grown up now. Now I'm going to go to Kindergarten!"
"Mommy where is my Wuzz Bite-cheer?" AKA~ Buzz Lightyear
Me,"What woke you up from your nap so early?" S~ "No one woke me up. Just Jesus did."
"Sterling lets go blow your nose." Sterling starting to cry~ "No mommy not right now." Me,"Yes Sterling your nose is running." S~"It's not running on the floor."
ASH CONDITION = AIR CONDITIONER
AMBI-PWENCE = AMBULANCE
AWFULS = OLIVES
Sterling,"Mommy get me dressed." Me,"Just a second Sterling I'm busy...wait." S~"I'll go ask Jesus if he can get me dressed. He's tall like Daddy and you."
Me,"Sterling where is Daddy?" S~ "In the shower." Me,"Are you positive?" S~ "I not positive. I serious."
Pointing to the light coming through his bedroom window, " Jesus turned the lights on Mommy. Now we can see!!"
"I love Mommy and Daddy and my whole family. I love Jesus too...he's my favorite!"
Sterling yelling from the potty, "Mommy I need a tennis shoe." Me, "Why do you need a tennis shoe Sterling? Go potty." S~"Because I was crying and I need to blow my nose."
"What time is it?" Me,"It's 2:30." S~ "WHERE?"
"Where we are we?"
Pointing to the ice making sign on the freezer door,"That makes bananas!"
Sterling on what he is going to be when he grows up,"I'm gonna be a Doctor." Me, "Oh really what do doctors do Sterling?" S~"Help people." In the same breath,"No Mommy, I'm gonna be a angel!"
While eating lunch Sterling tells me,"Mommy my toe hurts." Me,"Why does your toe hurt Sterling?" S~ "Because I ate too much!"
