moments with Mimi

We had a great visit with my mom this past week. She was a big help with the boys (as always) and we were able to get out & do some fun things, despite the yucky weather.

I was able to get cost-contained on Sunday night (yippee!), so we had a little extra time to catch up. We went to the mall & Carter ran laps around the breakfast food...a favorite indoor activity on bad weather days.

Mimi bought Carter this little monkey and he was hugging & talking to it all the way to the car! I got some new Vera Bradley bags as my early birthday present--thanks, Mom!!! I LOVE the bags & love that we got a great deal on them just as much. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

Mimi was drawing bugs on demand as we waited for our lunch to arrive. Great way to entertain a hungry two-year-old!

Time to say good-bye. We love you, Mimi & can't wait to see you next month when Mommy & Daddy go on their trip. Hope you aren't having second thoughts...
