We think Riley and Ryan have finally named Gramma... Mee Ma! Ryan kept calling her Maw Mee, but that is just hard to say, so we kept saying Mee Ma and I think it's going to stick!
Mee Ma came over on Friday night and stayed with us all weekend! She was here when we got home on Friday and we played after eating a great meal that Daddy made for us. On Saturday morning Mee Ma and I went to a consignment sale and hit the jackpot! Mee Ma bought them a new horsey to ride on as well as some other fun things like a purse, aprons, a canteen and some clothes. I got them lots of clothes, shoes, Halloween costumes, books, a big Elmo, a stuffed Clifford the dog, some play food, a Thomas train with blocks, some maracas and a doodle pro. I have to brag on the bargains...40 items for $106!!! It was like Christmas when we got home. Mee Ma and I took the kiddos to lunch at La Parilla and they sat in booster seats (rather than high chairs) for the first time. They did great, but once Riley decided she didn't want to sit anymore, she had a little more freedom than in the high chairs. I won't tell you the whole story, but let's just say Riley's foot ended up in my plate of food as I was wrestling to get her back in the booster. Mee Ma has laughed and laughed about remembering this event. I didn't think it was very funny at all at the time, but I'm sure it had to be comical to watch it all unfold.

We went to the Farmers Market for our afternoon outing and got some great fruit. When we got home, we made dinner and I used some of the jam Aunt Heather made and sent us to make them PB&J. They weren't too enthused about PH&J, but I am going to try just some toast with jam. I think they will really dig it! We then ate our treats that Mee Ma bought us for desserts. Fruit tarts, lemon squares and coconut cake! Yum! I bought myself some flowers and made a beautiful arrangement if I might say so myself. I'm considering taking it to work so I can look at it all day. I have another busy week ahead of me and I think it will make me happy!

Mee Ma stayed with the kiddos last night so we could have a night out. We went to an amazing dinner and then met some friends for a concert. It was a very late night and I was just a wee bit grumpy getting up for church today. I definitely needed a nap the most out of everyone for an attitude adjustment today. Even Daddy napped, so you know it was a lat night.
After our naps, our friends, Rebecca, Paul and Zack came over for dinner. Zack is about 5 months younger than Riley & Ryan and they had a ball playing together. They were just giddy with excitement almost the whole time. They each ate a pretty good dinner and we all ended with some fabulous dessert - chocolate and lemon cake for the adults and frozen yogurt for the kiddos. ok the kiddos had some cake too! A good night for all!
Riley, Zack & Ryan - what a great looking trio!
