Grammie and Dada Came to Visit!

... and we were all so excited to see them. They are actually on their way to Michigan to visit family there but wanted to stop and see the Triple Trouble on their way. The time together was short, but fun, as always. They arrived on Friday... and just to make sure I stay in good standing with Dada, I made eggplant Parmesan... and it was yummy... On Saturday, we got up and even though the weather looked nasty we headed down to Pier Park to walk around the shops and check out the new pier. We decided to get a burger at Red Robin... it was yummy...



Check out Grady and Grammie... don't you like Grady's hat... wonder where that influence is coming from. Notice the orange polos on all the boys... make it easy to keep up with them... Grady is so funny... all he said all weekend was I'm hungry... literally, we left the restaurant and got in the car... as he was climbing in... "Mommy, I'm hungry!" The only thing... he doesn't really eat very much... I think he just wants to keep asking to see if he will get any candy or maybe some ice cream... He knows the grandparents are always the best to hit up for those things... and needless to say, Grammie and Dada lived up to the expectation!


Wondering about the hair, well, here you go... I really hate it, but oh well, I am glad to have it, still just wishing it would grow a little, make that a lot faster!



Todd Sr took this one... check out the lips wrapped around the straw... this kid is something else...
As I said, lunch was yummy, but while there Dat Dat and I were informed that we were to leave the house Saturday evening so that Grammie and Dada could do their duties as grandparents and corrupt the children with pizza and ice cream from DQ. We were soundly told to GET OUT, so we did and we finally made it to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was ok. Never as good as the book... and I think they made it way too obvious that Snape is the hero... oh well, still glad we got to see it... after the movie Dat Dat and I got a cake for Grammie, since her birthday is in a couple of weeks... so at 10pm we were feeding the boys Publix cake while they were still riding high from their sugar overload at DQ. Yes, they were up past their bedtime... but prior permission had been given:) We were sad to see them go this morning but we hope they have a FANTASTIC time in Michigan... wish we could go... and while truly, we were sad to see them leave, we were trying to get Grammie out of Florida as soon as we could... whenever she is here during hurricane season, there is always a doozie...want proof.... she was visiting Florida from Texas when Katrina hit....

On another note, yes, Football Season is here... and no, that is not dirt on Todd Jr's arm.. that would be a bruise from taking a helmet to the bicep... tough kid though... not one tear... after all the drama last year, he is loving every second of this season... he has the best attitude and is giving it all he has got... he is definitely the smallest on the team and is consistently taking down the bigger kids... Dat Dat calls him a Demon Cougar... he even growls when he is taking down the other kids...
