For Mother’s Day this year we again went to visit my parents. It was a quick trip – out on Saturday afternoon and back on Sunday evening. Ally has ballet on Saturday mornings this year from 1130-1230 so it makes going away for the weekend a bit difficult.
I was really proud of Ally for deciding not to go mini golfing this year. It is an annual tradition but Grandma Barbie could not go – doctor’s orders that she not be outside for so long due to the high pollen and her lungs. We were all so happy she was finally home after 2 weeks in the hospital and 1 week in a rehabilitation hospital that it was fine.
Grandma Barbie asked us to bring some balloons. As part of her physical therapy she is supposed to hit a balloon up in the air to work on her balance. Ally had fun helping her with that.
Becky and I went to Target while Grandma and Ally watched a movie – this is a tradition now. On our way home we stopped for ice cream cones. Mom and Ally demanded we go get them cones. So we did. They were thrilled.
Ally “discovered” a new trick – throwing a ball up in the air and kicking it from a handstand position. Hilarious.
On Sunday morning it was gift time. Ally had made us a bouquet of paper flowers with task on them for us to pick a flower from. Things like “ a hug” or “feed the cats” She was thrilled she had her own surprise gift for us. She also gave my mom the mug she painted and I got a bowl she painted with the word love all over it.
Ally gave Becky a new version of Ticket to Ride and together we gave Becky a new watch.
Playing on the Ipad is always fun with Grandma Barbie
We did manage to have our traditional Mother’s Day meal at Jumpin’ Jacks.
For Mother’s Day Grandma Barbie got a whole bunch of new clothes from Uncle Frank, and we did some home improvement projects – one of which was organizing the family book shelves.
Becky made this montage of the car ride. On the way to Grandma & Grandpas – Ally was passed out sleeping and Cloey was awake and then on the way home it was the reverse.
