Grammy (Chris' mom Leslie) is in town and we are so lucky. She drove out here from New Hampshire in mid September and has been in town for a few weeks now. She will likely be with us a few more weeks ... whatever her schedule dictates. This is a rare treat for us as we only get to see her once or maybe twice a year.
The Malletts are boring homebodies most of the time (work, school, carpool, sports, repeat) and having a visitor gives us a great excuse to get out and see a few things. We've mostly stuck to our routine of daily sporting events (practices and games) but we have branched out some and shopped, a trip the apple store, gone to the movies and visited the aquarium.
Leslie, Andrew and Nicholas (as a dragon)
Andrew was out of school Friday (due to PTC) and so we decided to head to Gardner Village and check out all of the shops and Halloween decor. I love Gardner Village this time of year. Always something fun to see. Nic had a good time at the farm and rode a pony and loved the petting zoo. Sorry we went with out you Ben.
It's been wonderful to have Leslie in town and she's been a great help with Nicholas. She watched him and the boys for us while we were in LA. She's also watched Nicholas a few times which allowed be to catch up with old friends for lunches and run errands. It's nice to have family close by.
