Why Grandmas "Totally Rock" (as related by Luke)

1. She brings magical suitcases filled with presents
2. Grandmas never get tired of lots of talking, stories, singing, talking, yelling, talking, questions, and more talking
3. Grandmas have no problem with Luke sleeping cuddled up in the big bed, even if it means getting kicked all night
4. When Luke asks for the 4th cookie in a row, Grandmas don't have to say no -- they get to say "you'll have to discuss that with your mother"
5. She got to say "yes" to the first 3 cookies
6. A busy afternoon consists of Chicken McNuggets for lunch, a stop to the "Build a Car" store (think Build-a-Bear but with pimped out cars), ice cream and play date at the Lego store
7. On the way to Chuck-E-Cheese (while Mommy's working) we "just happen" to stop by Toys R Us and "just happen" to come home with some brand new Cars
8. She gives good hugs
9. She makes up great stories and songs
10. Mommy is much happier (and less stressed) after a long Grandma-filled weekend

So I might have taken a little literary licence, though it is clear why both Grandmas are clear favorites as far as grown ups are concerned. My mom came out to help out for the weekend while Ken was away and Luke isn't the only one around here who looks forward to Grandma visits. Thank you for all the help (and fabulous lasagna :) )

  1. Kelly, your mom is the best. I remember her taking us out to Los Hermanos in '99 and giving me some wise words of advice before I got married. She's wonderful.
