Nana to the RESCUE!

Well, tonight I am in mourning.  My amazing Mother in Law, my hubbies amazing Mom, my kiddos amazing Nana, has returned to San Diego. She came to help hold down the fort as we are adjusting to the new and improved Party of 5. We have spent the last week plus, getting spoiled.  She has been playing with the boys nonstop-lots of dinosaurs, crafts, reading, the park, the museum and more!  Cooking yummy food, taking us out for a fun dinner, keeping our house spic and span, letting mom and dad sleep in (incredible), helping with Princess Buttercup . . .  I tell you folks, all 5 of us were very, very sad to see her go.  She is just wonderful!  Here are some highlights.  


Nana helped the boys make "dino feet".  The boys loved loved loved it!  Very clever craft made with tissue boxes and foam sponges. 


They have been playing in their new feet all week, and amazingly enough, they are still in tact. 
Influence of big brothers!

Cayman and Hudson, giving Quinn a present.  Every girl wants a car sticker on her tummy!  They were feeling pretty good about there generous contribution to her leopard print.
Sleeping at the park


The Childrens Museum in Indy (voted the best in the world) is fantastic!  They have a big dinosaur section, the boys are digging for fossils.
Cayman, of course, could spend ALL.DAY.LONG digging for fossils!



Quinn, asleep as usual that easy little gal!  Me and Quinn joined the fam at the museum, it feels great to join the real world and start getting out of the house again!

One of the many, very neat, interactive exhibits.




Got to have an Indy Car station in Indy. 

A real transformer in the making

Nana saying goodbye to Quinn as she was heading out the door to the airport :(






Lots of loves to Nana!  We can't thank her enough for all of her incredible help, fun and love.  We miss you already and the boys can't wait for a trip to San Diego, they were already asking when we would visit Nana and Bumpa an hour after she left.  Soon, was our answer, which isn't soon enough.  We love you Mom!!

Where would any of us be without amazing mother-in-laws? (Seriously shocked by how young she looks!)I'm sure you'll be able to figure out your 3 kids easy enough but I'll wish you good luck just for good measure! :)
