This weekend, Grandma Donna and Grandpa Roger made the trip to visit us in Neenah. They arrived on Thursday night and stayed until Sunday. It was a quick 
weekend, but we sure did accomplish a lot. We had dinner at a place called HuHot which is a mongolian bbq... Grandpa Roger successfully talked the waitress into bringing him some shrimp even though they don't serve it on Thursdays. And we ended with my favorite - Cheesecake Rangoons. YUM!
Friday, Jim and I worked and when we returned we found Grandpa had fixed our vacuum and Grandma had made the lasagna for dinner. We had dinner and then Grandpa and Jim went around the house fixing and cleaning the bathroom fans and other loose fixtures. Grandma and I went to the fabric store to get ideas for decorating the baby room. After unsuccessfully explaining what I was looking for at several of the stores, we were off in search of nursery bedding for ideas. We ended at Baby Depot where I showed Grandma the Snoopy set Jim and I had liked. And she loved it! So we agreed that to make it ourselves would be silly... So that was added to the registry at Babies R Us. And it is over $30 cheaper there than at Baby Depot.
Saturday we all agreed the wallpaper in the front hallway and bathroom could come down. Although Jim and I were excited to see if finally go, we had no solid plans on what color to paint or how to finish them off. But that didn't stop us. It took us just about
all day to pull that down. We ordered in pizza for dinner and then relaxed by watching a movie that night.
Sunday we went to church and then to our favorite breakfast place. All in all it was a great visit with them. Jim started working on his appetizers for the superbowl party and I lounged with Hilo on the couch. We headed to our friends for the game around 4pm. It was a fun time. There were 3 pregnant ladies at the party so we spent a lot of time swapping stories... Jennifer is due March 17, Jamie is due April 15, and then I am due May 19th... so we are all about a month apart.
