To Grandmother's House We Go...(Or Nana & Papa D in this case!)

This past weekend, we loaded up the boys and headed to Dallas for some time with Nana & Papa D. J was so excited about going to their house - except for the drive. He is now officially in the "are we there yet" phase. It started in Georgetown and lasted until we got to Dallas. About every 15-30 minutes he would ask "How much longer?" or "Are we in Dallas yet?" It made hubby and I extremely envious of the good ol' days, when kids didn't have to be strapped into carseats and could lay in little beds in the back of the car made up by their mom & dad. Sigh. Of course, we know now that wasn't very safe, but we survived, right? ;)

Anyway, we arrived just in time because about an hour after unloading, the sky turned black and the storms hit North Texas. We were SO glad we didn't have to drive in that - high winds (the storm that took down the Cowboy's practice field) and lots of rain, thunder and lightening would NOT have been fun on the road. Luckily, Nana was prepared for some indoor fun, and she and J went to work making some brownies. Make that LOTS of brownies.

Nana & J at work on the brownies (which were so yummy btw).

J taking a rest from stirring (note the window - that looks right out into the backyard. See how black it was? It was only 3:30 in the afternoon!)


We celebrated an early Mother's Day with Nana on Sunday morning.

L loved Nana & Papa D's new floors. He could really get some traction and crawled all over the place. Of course, big brother wanted in on the fun.

I'm not sure what J was looking at, but he was having fun playing with his daddy's toy fishing pole. Nana saved several of Daddy and Aunt J's toys for playtime.

I cannot believe we didn't manage to get one picture with Papa D and both boys. Especially because they were all matching in red on Sunday. Good thing since we headed to Campisi's for lunch that day. No worries about spilling spaghetti (or pizza) sauce on your shirt when you are wearing red!!! Even L tried some spaghetti there. It was delicioso!

Thanks for a great weekend Nana & Papa D. The boys had so much fun, and I think the hubby and I came home about 5 lbs heavier. But we're not complaining!
