Week with Nonny

This past week my mom came to visit. I was especially happy to see her since Eric was going to be out of town on business. The boys love Nonny and had so much fun with her. We got a lot done and were busy with activity.

Mom and the babies at Biltmore Park
On Sunday afternoon we went to the Biltmore Square Mall. It has been almost a year since we have been to a mall and Everett was fascinated. He was very interested in the mannequins and kept calling them "people." I'm not convinced he didn't think they were real since he was a bit cautious. I was excited to buy Eleanor a few things and a new dress. Have I mentioned having a girl is so fun!? That night my mom made chicken noodle soup and we had slow cooker applesauce.

On Monday we went to the Asheville Mall. This mall is much better and there is more to it. We decided on a whim to get the boys pictures taken at Picture People. Since we weren't prepared, I ran into Baby Gap and picked out new polos for the boys. We managed to get a least one decent picture of Everett and Hampton together and one of all three. We had to work for it though!

On Tuesday we dropped off Everett at preschool in the morning and then took Hampton and Eleanor to the aboretum. It was a beautiful morning and a bit cool-so perfect. Hampton pushed his little walker around the whole place. We then had lunch at the cafe. We spent three hours there!


Everett at Bilmore Park. He loved his cotton candy ice-cream!

On Wednesday we went back to the mall (for not having gone to the mall in almost a year, I sure made up for it this week). I bought Everett some new shoes and then we had lunch at Chick fil A, which my boys love. That evening we went to dinner at Brixx pizza and then had Coldstone for desert.

Just sweet




In between activities we also did a few crafts and organized a few things. Looking forward to when she comes back for a visit soon!
