Grandmatown

In an attempt to avoid utter destruction we shipped ourselves off to Grandma's house.
That's where we've been for the last 2 weeks.
We took advantage of every Grandma within driving distance...
Granmda K'Lyn Grandma Jill (how could I have not taken a pic?)

Grandma Rula and Bula (they come as a package).
Twins. 89 yrs.

Even Grandpa TedJames was rocked, cuddled, and nuzzled the entire 336 hours we were there.
Finally he got so sick of being held he just fell asleep in my arms... mid conversation, I might add.


Here he is at home saying "Where the heck are all my Grandmas?"Which is exactly what I was saying (but I won't post that picture).

Some days are just utter thunderstorms.
I'm just glad I have the widsom not to blog on those days (mostly) because I would end up saying words as such...
"WHY WHY WHY did we have 3 kids so young???"
and then I'd pull out of knife, point it at Bryan and say...
"YOU! YOU did this to me!"
I'm kidding.
Please.
It's all in jest.

And lastly, this little gem...Aw, what a sweetheart.

P.S. I never knew how entertainin' the Lawrence Welk show was till I hung out with Gma R&B. You can't tell me you don't just feel all happy after listening to and dancing a jig the likes of Gma Bula here below...

Yes, I loved having GRANGMA's around and so close. So I keep thinking now that we are so far away, maybe we'll wait to have anymore kids till we move back. and um may I say you look ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.....it's not fair!!! But you are probably allready back at the gym, etc. I hate exercising and have no energy for it, which is probably why I still look like I'm 3 months pregnant when I have an 18 month old!! anywho, kudos to you! and also I'm jealous!! you're such a great mom and a good looking one too!! hope you guys are doing good!

You are so lucky to have been with all those grandmas! I am jealous. I hope you are doing well. I hear ya on almost all of it (except the 'why did we have our kids so YOUNG' part). I am getting too old is my problem. I just don't have the energy and stamina of my younger mothering days! But I doooo understand the Lawrence Welk! Fond memories of watching it with my grandmas. And I totally understand the ups and downs. One day, things can be really great and the next, pure chaos. Hope you're having a few more ups than the downs. Let me know if you need anything. I still will probably bring you some food.
