While Dad's Away.....Grandma Came To Stay

Happy Valentine's Day Daddy...you get a 4 day golf trip to SC!  Sorry that it snowed 2 inches in South Carolina...that almost never happens!!!

Bob left on Valentine's Day morning for a golf trip with some work peeps and since it was Grandma Carolyn's long weekend off of work, she came to stay with Bobby and me for a couple of days.  Bobby was excited when Grandma came with me to school to pick him up.  After a stop off at therapy it was time to go home and open all of Bobby's gifts.

Bobby leaves school everyday at 2:00 and the class party didn't start until 2:30, so Bobby brought his class giftbags home to open.  Yes, there is probably one in there from Mommy and Daddy too.

Bobby saw the plastic slinky in front that came home from school and had zero interest in opening any of the gifts.

We will let Grandma Carolyn open her gift so that Bobby can see how it's done.  OK Zoi, there is nothing in that bag for you.

 I had to start the opening process for Bobby, but once he saw that there was a bag of potato chips involved he immediately started helping.

 After a long day of school and therapy, Bobby had to sit down and watch his iPad while opening the rest of his gifts.

 He wasn't going to set down the plastic slinky in front of him long enough to open this box, until he finally saw what was inside and the plastic slinky was slung over his head so that he could give his attention to....

 the perfection that is a metal slinky.  Ahhh, it smells so good!!!

Ring Pops!!!  Now we're talking.  I hope that there is a blue one in here.

 Time for the Valentine cards from his classmates.

 He looked through them for a total of a second and a half.

Hope that I can stay out of the candy!!!  We actually have plans for a great Valentine's Day dinner out on the town that Bobby can go to as well.....

 A gourmet dinner at McDonald's for McTeacher's Night.  Some of the teachers and staff from Bobby's school were "working" at the Westover McDonald's from 4-7 as a school fundraiser.

 Fries, nuggets and apple slices.  Boy that makes Bobby smile...

This day really wore Bobby out.  I went upstairs to check on him because he was being so quiet.  This is what I found...

Good night Bobby.

Grandma Carolyn and I went shopping and out to eat while Bobby was in school.  I found some new spring decor for my dinning room shelf...

These colorful birds make me smile.

Earlier in the week before Daddy left we had some warmer weather with a LOT of wind which blew over our neighbors tree into the middle of our road.  Daddy had to go get it out of the way, with some help from our neighbor...

Bobby had some fun playing outside and for some reason the umbrella out of Mommy's car became the entertainment...

 Daddy was right there to show Bobby how to open it all by himself.

 Look how happy this makes him!!!

 Zoi has had enough of all of this umbrella craziness and is going keep on eye on this situation before all of this wildness gets out of control.

 She is the official umbrella guardian.

UH OH Zoi, Bobby got the umbrella again!!!  Can't keep him from having this much fun!!!

He thinks that I can't see him behind these bushes taking his coat off!!!

 Put your coat on young man!!!

He listens so well.  Time to go in for dinner.

Now look at this laziness!  He took his grilled cheese over and put it on the coffee table, pulled the table over to the couch so that he could lay down and eat.  Bobby, you are going to make a great teenager.
