Camp Grandma!

This summer, both kids got to attend "Camp Grandma" for a few days and nights at Grandma Sandy's out in Menifee. It was so much fun for them - they went individually, Matthew first several weeks ago - he had a blast hanging out with Grandma, playing with baby Emma & baby Shiloh, getting lots of Wii Mario Cart racing time and time at the pool and splash park. While he was having a blast, Josh and I got to spend some quality time with K, something we haven't had since she's child #2! It was so fun to spend some extra time with her :)

My day I took her out to lunch and a movie - Despicable Me 2 - so much fun :)

.

After the movie we made a cake over at Grandma & Grandpa's house  - licking the beaters is always the best part :)

.

We left for preschool a bit early one day (amazing how much less time wrangling one into getting ready in the morning is rather than two!) and stopped for Starbucks...I love this pic :)

.

That night was Father/Daughter date night - she got all dressed up, purse, fancy necklace and cell phone included :)

.

Look at these two, love :)

Dinner with Daddy at the Spaghetti Factory!

Just this week, Kaylie got her turn at Camp Grandma. She spent her days playing with baby Cambria & baby Emma, playing with her babies and play kitchen, and one-on-one time with Grandma. This time around we got to spend one-on-one time with M, which was also fun - we don't get to do that often enough any more. Since Josh got to have a Father/Daughter date night, I had a Mother/Son date night. I tried to take him to see Planes in the theater, but he had no interest in doing so once we got there, so I let him choose. He chose Fish House for dinner (we split the salmon, our favorite, that's my boy!) followed by sunset playing at the beach :)

We'll have to arrange for more one-on-one time, in one way or another. Even coordinated date nights where Josh has one and I have the other, it's just so special to be able to focus on one at a time and really get to know them, as they are right now :) Thanks Grandma Sandy!
