Mom lives in Las Vegas.
We see her about once a year. Sometimes twice.
We haven't seen her since last summer!
(Back story: mom lived with us for 6 months when we were in Daycare Hell. She saved my life during a very difficult time. My kids LOVE "Po-po" and know they can get away with murder when she's here - but, I allow it because I never had grandparents to spoil me...at least, I didn't know them).
ANYWAY.
Mom's back.
We're all getting fat.
She hasn't stopped cooking.
Stuffed peppers! (All the peppers were from my garden!)
So good!
Bonus: my Aunt Lili also comes to visit when Mom does. She lives about 3 hours away in PA.
Sisters! So cute!
Day one. Eggrolls.
There were likely over 80 of these bad boys. I still don't think it's enough.
Mom enjoyed watching the girls swim. I enjoyed chatting and catching up.
So grateful for our time together
my girls <3
These chairs were a STEAL!
They retail for $124.99 each. On clearance at BBB for $50 each. Steve and I each had a 20% off coupon. Got them BOTH for $86. Non-rusting frame.

Using our Roseland season passes before they expire! This face will ALWAYS get me.
Mila saw her first grade teacher and wanted to watch her come down the slide.
Their favorite part - the wave pool!

She got quite the tan this summer.
pure happiness
Ending the day with Dippin' Dots!
Ava found a Praying Mantis in the garage, so we moved it outside.

In other news, I had to work the first few days of my "staycation" - but, after a big presentation Monday morning, which had me clenched all damn weekend, I can now finally relax a little. Presentation went great.
3 more days of no real plans.
A short day at work Friday since it's before a holiday.
A long weekend.
And then summer's over.
I'm not quite sure how that happened.
