The Todds arrived Friday evening, and after some fun play and snacks, the little ones headed to bed. On Saturday morning, Grandpa, Chad and Amanda decided to play golf while Grammy, Peyton and Garrison headed to Great Grandma Mintun's house for fun outside (sidewalk chalk, balls, bubbles). While Garrison was napping and Grammaw was watching him, Peyton and Grammy walked down the street a block to an auction - the first one Peyton had ever been too. It hadn't started yet, and Peyton was a bit troubled that we couldn't buy something - they had some Peyton-size chairs. I think she thought it was a garage sale (we have been to a few of those). Anyway, we had a nice block-long walk there and back in the fresh air. Amanda only played 9 holes of golf, so she joined us at Grammaw's for a little while before she went back home to take a shower. The kids and I followed shortly after a snack and fun time in the house. While Garrison was napping in the afternoon, Amanda, Peyton and I took a girls trip to Goody's and Walmart where we had fun shopping. On the way, Peyton asked me, "Where's your Starbuck's?" When I told her we didn't have one, she said, "Why?" Before we went back home, we stopped by to pick up Grammaw who was joining us for dinner - delicious bacon wrapped baked chicken, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and hot bread - green beans too. Amanda and Chad went to the movie on a date night while the kids stayed with us - lucky us! . After some play and fun, Peyton and I gave Garrison a bath in the kitchen sink, and she took a shower after taking Grammaw home.
Garrison woke up crying about 8:15 p.m. while Peyton was still up (very unusual for him to cry) - anyway, she insisted on going downstairs to help me soothe him. After we rocked him a while (yes, she was in the rocker with us), she said, "Maybe Ron needs to help us" - isn't she a hoot? She insisted on going upstairs to get "Ron" to help us. We got him back to sleep pretty quickly, read books and Peyton went to bed. We sure enjoyed having the kids to ourselves for a few hours.
Sunday, Ron and Chad played in the Cancer Golf Tournament. Peyton and I picked up Grammaw and Murray and brought them over for the morning. Peyton and I made funnel cakes for a special treat for breakfast. We had lots of fun playing around the house adn then had Panda Garden cashew chicken for lunch before the guys returned. The house was very quiet about 1:30 p.m. after they headed home.
A great weekend.
