There was an arts and crafts show in the shopping center where Grandaddy's office is this weekend and he had his tractors there on display. After Drew and Anna Kate got up Saturday morning we went to check it out. DotDot met us there so we decided to also have some breakfast. We have been very busy and Drew and Anna Kate have been staying up way too late so it was 9:30 before they even woke up Saturday morning. By the time we got there and visited briefly with Grandaddy before heading across the parking lot to Drew and Anna Kate's regular breakfast spot* it was 11:00! You can deliver my Mother of the Year award later. I think they could probably go a few days without eating and not care so they didn't notice at all. After we ate we went back to see the tractors. Grandaddy also had a little gem that he has been holding out on us! He has train cars to pull behind his small tractor. Drew hopped right in and went for ride. Anna Kate had to watch him go first to make sure it was going to be okay. After Drew's first round she decided it would be okay for her too. They loved it! They took several rides around the parking lot and then took a little break. The line for rides got kind of long so we went to run a few errands before coming back for one last ride and then home for naps.
Loving it!
They think the "train" is the best thing ever. We have requested it for their birthday party in August!
Sweet picture of Drew and Anna Kate with their DotDot and Grandaddy!
*Midland Restaurant is right across the parking lot from my Dad's office. You could probably count on your hands the number of days over the last 30 years that he has NOT eaten breakfast there. I am pretty sure I have called there in the morning before and he is the one who answered the phone! A few months ago, Hubert and Katherine decided they would start taking Drew and Anna Kate to eat breakfast on the days that they kept them and that is where they decided to go. They have stolen their Grandaddy's limelight and come right in and act like they own the place! They love it and apparently eat an adult size portion of food which is huge for them considering they don't eat much of anything.
Sunday was Mother's Day so we left for DotDot and Grandaddy's a little early for lunch so Aunt Ashley and I could cook for DotDot. The weather was chilly but sunny and nice so we spent a lot of time outside. Last week I got Anna Kate a new tricycle to keep there and it has quickly become her favorite thing. They already had the one that was Aunt Ashley's and mine when we were little and they have both been riding it for a couple of weeks now but it a little big for Anna plus they had to share. "Uncle Norma" and Uncle Papaw joined us for lunch. After what was supposed to a nap that Drew and Anna Kate decided to skip, we went to Mamaw & Papaw's house for dinner. Since there was no nap, they were completely exhausted by the time we made it home last night and I had to finally wake them up at 9:30 this morning so we could leave. We are going to have to work on an earlier bed time this week!
Relaxing and watching a little Barney before leaving for DotDot and Grandaddy's. They chose to sit in this chair together. The moment was sweet but didn't last long. A few minutes after this picture I heard a thud and Anna Kate came to me crying that Drew had pushed her out of the chair. He is so rough!
Riding like a big boy!
She loves her "bicycle" and part of the reason may be because it is pink. And because she can carry her baby in the basket. Anna Kate is truly a "girly" girl that loves anything pink and babies and pretty clothes, shoes, and jewelry.
