After leaving Chattanooga on Monday am (the boys were headed to the beach to paint the beach house) the girls and I headed to Gadsden to visit with Grandmother for a few days. We got there on Monday afternoon and had an action packed 2 days before heading home today!
No sooner had we unloaded the car than Aunt Jane popped up for a visit! Yay! As soon as Annie saw Aunt Jane she was just dying to bake a cake! I don't know if you remember or not but Aunt Jane has an Easy Bake (ish) oven that is probably 30 years old and the last several times we have visited she and the girls have had a ball baking! So, Annie and Aunt Jane jumped in the car to run to the store and buy a cake mix! The girls and Aunt Jane mixed up the cake and popped it in the oven! While it was baking, the girls decided to go play in the sprinkler. Remember, they are baking with an oven with the strength of a light bulb...they have PLENTY of time to kill before the cake is ready for eating! When the cake was done we all had a small bite...delicious!
Tuesday was a fun day too! Aunt Jane was heading to Birmingham to meet Billie for lunch and a little shopping and invited all of us to tag along. We had a fun (and yummy) lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and then scoped out a deal or two! The girls were really very good considering we made them ride in the car for over an hour just to shop! What a mean mom they have!
This morning we hoped up at the crack of dawn...I wish these girls would learn to sleep in! Grandmother made bisquits and we licked our plates clean! They were delicious (as always)! AND even Gracie loved them! She at 2 whole bisquits by herself! That Gracie loves to eat! After breakfast, we went to Aunt Jane's for one last visit and then packed up and headed home! We actually timed it pretty well because all three girls slept most of the way home, we missed the traffic AND made it home in time for church!
Even though it was no fun to leave (again!) we were all glad to be home and sleep in our own beds for a change!
