Much needed respite...

Wednesday Grandma and Grandpa Marks provided me with a much needed respite from being a VERY tired mommy. I took the kids down to their house in Houston and they stayed for four days. Both kids were very excited to go. Emily most wanted to go to the "paint" place, aka the nail shop. Grandma certainly obliged and they got their nails done. Grandma and grandpa took them to the Children's Museum, and bought them scooters. All the way home they asked if they could ride their scooters when we got home. It was a beautiful evening and here are the pictures.

blurry...but childhood abandon nonetheless...i LOVE this picture...

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Marks!
