Kristi and Grace come to visit!

Kristi and Grace arrived on Sunday after a long drive from Chicago. We were so excited to see them!

Carter and Grace got along great-- it was so fun watching them interact.

We went to the SplashPark on Sunday night and watched the kids run around the park without managing to get wet! We joked that we drove there so they could run around and eat snacks.

On Monday, we make the trek to ISU and walked around Campus. Wow so much has changed in only a few years. It was pretty funny that we were pushing strollers on our old stomping grounds. It appears more has changed than the campus!

We visited the Chi O house and got to see some of the new renovations. Not only did we lose ourselves in old memories, but I also managed to lose my keys. Not such a great thing in a 10,000 sq ft mansion. Well, we never found them-- but luckily I had another set in my purse--locked in the car! We called a locksmith and loaded our starving toddlers into the car. Hey Chi-Os you know who stole the keys? Mary House. We just know it. (Mary House is the ghost of the Chi O house)

We were off to Great Plains and this was the site of the historical Carter.Grace meltdown of 2009. It consisted of perfectly timed freakouts, greasy hands in hair, an entire thing of dental floss being unraveled, coloring on the walls and A LOT of whining that was for sure not spoken in English. When our pizza FINALLY came, we ate really fast and loaded the monsters into the car. (Leaving the dental floss, napkins, two forks and one plate on the floor) Grace fell asleep within seconds and Carter was not to far behind. We had a great laugh about how if we would have been in Great Plains any longer they may have taken our "Mother's of the year" awards away. It was trying to put it lightly!!

What a fun time with Grace and Kristi- we wish we lived closer! Thanks for coming to visit We love and miss you!
