We got Frank's mom for a whole two weeks in February! There's nothing like reading books on Grandma's lap. She was such a hit with Axle and Atticus. She went on bike rides and walks out in the cold when noone else wanted to go. She even made a plastic bag kite with Atticus one day. He held onto it and rode his bike up and down the sidewalk a hundred times.
Atticus got an official BMX racing bike and a helmet. He wore it non-stop for a week after we bought it, even while he played Sesame Street games on the computer. He loves to race around the dirt BMX track and the trophies he gets are taking over his room (every kid under 5 gets one after every race).
I love having Mary Margaret stay with us. She is very happy, positive, and always willing to help. She helped me slice and dry 52 lbs of apples while she was here. She won't give up her California sunshine to move to Utah, though. We've tried but cannot tempt her enough!
Mary Margaret sent a big box of slot race cars that a friend of hers found. They tried them out at a little place in Salt Lake. They stayed inside for 10 minutes max and came back. Frank said it is truly a dying sport.
Grandma didn't spend all her time reading "The Truck Book" as it appears. She herself got through 4 out of 5 books of "The Lightning Thief" series. The deal was whoever read the first book got to go see the new movie. She got hooked and I had to tell her to put the books away and go to sleep several times after midnight! We love Oma and are sad she can't stay with us more often.
