Grandma Goodrich saves the day!

After a rough week at our house, the smallest thing tipped me off and at my urgent request, to prevent a nervous breakdown, my awesome MIL came down to help us out down here. I'm not sure what we would do without Gramma Goodrich!
While she was here, we had a great time! Courtney had a perfomance at school and also a "family day" field trip as well. We were all over the place and are so lucky our gramma could come and spend the week with us.

Ethel M's Chocolate Factory field trip

It's right by the airport & Mary Cate loved pointing at the loud airplanes. There is a cool cactus garden outside the factory where we walked around.
Before I had kids I used to think these "leash" backpack things were cruel & unusal punishment. Then along came Kiki, she wanders off ALL THE TIME! So this is a complete lifesaver for us!
Courtney's school singing performance. Its a really bad picture taken by moi!
Kiki's pre-school class and awesome teachers!
