A Visit From Poppa and Gangee

We were all so excited for Steve's parents to come for a nice long weekend. We had a great visit (all too short), made even better for my Indiana-dwelling in-laws by the Colts' win on Sunday evening. Andrew was voting for the Colts all the way...from upstairs in our bedroom, where he was watching Scooby Doo.

Another highlight of the weekend was Piggy Picnic Night. Andrew and Steve recently finished the book Babe, The Gallant Pig and were all set for movie/theme night.

The top-secret menu included -- what else? -- pigs in blankets and pig tail fries:

The boys checking out their pig food upon the great reveal:

And for the unimaginative among you, this is not chocolate pudding pie with strawberry marshmallows. It is pigs wallowing in mud.

Gangee and two happy little picnickers:

Libby didn't care so much about Piggy Picnic, so she and Poppa took their babies out grocery shopping. They circled and circled the store. It was highly satisfying.
Additionally, there were countless games of "football" involving a stuffed hedgehog and everyone losing points but Adam (the director), innumerable rounds of hide and seek, and more nonsense games and general mayhem than I could record here.

Poppa and Gangee left to go home this afternoon. I know they were sad to leave, but I have a feeling they will be sleeping well for the next couple nights. I think we may have worn them out.

  1. We will have a good night's sleep tonight but I would give that up immediately to be able to great three happy grandchildren (and children) in the morning. It was a wonderful visit!!

  2. Looks like you all had a wonderful time. It is always hard to say goodbye when grandparents have to go home.

    Gotta say, I love your movie/theme nights. Very creative and fun! May have to try that one night, however, we may have to skip the book part and go right on to a movie.
