Guest Blog Monday

Hello to everyone!

Mom asked me to do a guest blog for her today because, lets face it, I'm the best daughter in the world and she knows I can rock a blog.

This past weekend Mr. & Mrs. D made the six hour trip to our little Chicago suburb to celebrate a late Christmas with our family.  The second Grandma & Grandpa walked in the door, Liam was asking about opening presents- the one-track mind of a 5 year old, welcome to my world people. Morgan warmed up quickly and we were off and running. 

We ate lunch, chatted and made apple pie.  After Brian arrived home from work we opened presents- everything was a hit! (Thank you G&G & Uncle Tom & Aunt Laura!)  Later we gorged on duck, ham, rolls, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, corn and wine.

Grandma taught Liam how to make hot chocolate by warming chocolate milk in the microwave.  Liam & Grandpa snuggled and watched a movie.  Morgan was everywhere and into everything, entertaining Grandma & Grandpa as usual.

But our favorite and most memorable part of the weekend was the kids introducing Grandma to Fish Farts.  It is an app that has fish swimming across your screen and when you tap them they make various farting sounds and are propelled forward.  I don't care who you are, farts are funny, especially to kids and, apparently, Grandmas.

The kids were introduced to this game by one of my friends and it has served to keep them busy and entertained in the car, at the mall and numerous other places over the past week.  By the time we had finished our doughnut breakfast on Sunday, I had downloaded Fish Farts Kids on Grandmas phone, which I'm sure Mr. D is just thrilled with me for. ;-)

I know on their ride home they had a gas!

Happy Monday!
