Jordan's Mickey Mouse pancakeThis weekend Brad went to a men's retreat with guys from our church. The boys and I packed our things and went to my parents house in Hatfield and stayed the night there Friday night. The boys were in heaven being at Mamaw and Papaw's and of course, Mamaw rolled out the "red carpet" for us. She rented some movies, popped popcorn and bought the boys candy and to top it off....she aired up the air mattress for them to sleep on in the living room with her. Saturday morning was really strange but comforting at the same time. Waking up in the house I grew up in after not living there for so long, was like I was a kid again. Sure, I had slept there since I moved out but it took me back many years. Papaw was now home after working seconds and out the door at 8 a.m. the boys went playing baseball with Papaw. Mamaw made her famous Mickey Mouse pancakes for the boys and they each decorated them with sprinkles and other candies. We played all morning and then Papaw had to go back into work, so Mamaw came and stayed at our house Saturday night. When I was growing up, my mom and my sister and I (and dad when he was off) would make homemade pizzas. This was such a treat for us because we got to help. Since mom was coming over Saturday night, she decided we would make homemade pizzas and chocolate chip cookies. The boys love doing this and loved eating it even better (only Jordan, Jacob doesn't eat much of anything)! Saturday night came and we aired the mattress up again and watched movies until the kids were too tired! It was such a nice weekend spending time with my parents. I love watching them interact with my kids and seeing the joy my boys bring to their lives. My parents (and Brad's) are wonderful grandparents and I am so thankful my boys get to experience what I did growing up with my grandparents. These are memories that can never be taken away!
