When my mom tends...

My mom has tended for me every Thursday since Hayden was 6 weeks old. My kids really look forward to Thursday, because it is "Grandma Day". They always are having fun, or busy making a craft, or playing games-I have switched my cleaning day to Friday (the day after Grandma) because I always have a mess to clean Thursday nights. (I'm not complaining mom-we really love and appreciate you, I love that the kids get to have such a fun day with you)
So this Thursday when I got home, before I even walked through the door, my mom said "sorry about the mess" (I knew I had my work cut out for me). Well my house was spotless, except for the dining room table. The kids had talked her into making a hut. They used every pillow and blanket that we own, plus both love sacs. It was actually pretty comfy!
The kids begged me to let them sleep in it. I'm very anal about bedtime and bedtime routine, so normally this would have really thrown me off, but I decided that I could chill out and let them do it (just this once). It only took them an hour to go to sleep and they slept all through the night-they had a great time. So maybe, just maybe, they will get to do it again sometime (but I will remain in the comfort of my own bed).

This picture is very dark, but still cute.

Blanket tents are the best. Your mom sounds like a fun grandma!

How does your mom tend for you every thursday!? Doesn't she still live in Oak city? That's really cool!
