V-Town

Last week, the kids and I got outta dodge for a few days and visited my parents. It was an incredible week for all of us. My parents are awesome. They did so much for me, allowed me to have some adult only time, and helped out with the kids in many ways. When we arrived at my folks' home they had multiple kid-friendly toy/activities set out and the kids were in Grandparent heaven almost instantaneously. The kids rode on this sweet little plastic train borrowed from Larry and Kathy Hemphill. We swam in the pool. I didn't prepare a single meal (imagine me singing the little Mermaid song: Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ahhhhhhh). Mom you rock my world. Mom prepared several spots in her amazing garden for the kids to plant bulbs for the spring. J and Z loved to stand at my folks' shorter water fountains with cups to play and eventually get drenched in. I got a haircut, attended my mom's PEO luncheon (so fun, such neat ladies), and even got to go to lunch with my dad and Grandpa at their Downtown Rotary meeting.

Melted cheese and pickles on a Ritz - a Sullivan family favorite. Try it sometime, you might be suprised.
