Saturday was a special day, it was the day that the girls played with Grandma! (I was singing that to the tune of "Saturday"... and don't pretend you weren't as well). My mother called me up last week and asked if she could plan a special one on one day with the girls. Of course I agreed to it.
So, my mom showed up around 7:30 Saturday morning to pick up Ms. Noelle. Little Ms. Noelle was so excited to be going on an adventure with her grandma!
Grandma Traci took Noelle out for donuts! Apparently she picked out 2 pink frosted and sprinkled donuts!
And they were THAT good!
Then my mother took Noelle to Walmart and bought her and her big sister both a doll and some goggles. Noelle was so excited about her new goodies, but even more excited about her time with Grandma.When Noelle got home, it was time for Melanie to have a special day with Grandma.
Grandma picked Melanie up and headed to the theator to see "Brave". Melanie was so excited.
Unfortunately, Melanie did not make it through the movie. Apparently she had a break down when the main charactor's mom turned into a bear. Grandma had to take her out of the theator. To make the day turn around, my mom decided to head to the mall to take her to ride on the merry-go-round. 
It was an eventful trip with Grandma! Melanie had a blast! She did have nightmares that night because of the movie. (which is unfortunate, because I want to see the movie). I think that perhaps it was because she was in the dark, and the screen is huge, and of course, the idea of a mom changing into something else is probably frightening. 
I love this little man!

They ran to the nearest one they could find... got all the way to the stall... got in to the stall... and opps!!!! (Is it just me, or is it really hard to find a close bathroom in a mall when you need one?) So, Melanie and Grandma headed to the little girl's department in one of the stores and Melanie got her new favorite underroos.
Then Grandma got her an icecream and took her for that ride on the merry-go-round.

Oliver was pretty happy when her sisters got home. He was all smiles!
I love this little man!After the kids went down for their naps, my mom and I got to spend some quality time together as well. It was really refreshing.
Thank you, Grandma Traci, for such a wonderful day!

I love Grandma dates:)
Grandmas are the best. :) Clara is really sensitive in movies too. Jason took her to see Tangled right after I had Hazel and she cried out for me repeatedly and jumped in his lap. Ha ha.
