Back to School and a little surprise!

We started back to school again after a week off. The week went well as far as school goes. Kylie really took off in her math and they did a lot of painting this week. We got a start on some new landscaping and went to another football game last night, Eric's idea this time!

They had a little surprise on Wednesday morning. I woke them up a little early and told them we had to go to McCook to pick something up for Daddy. They got ready without question and we were off to McCook. I let them watch a video so they were pretty quiet the whole way there. We arrived at the airport (which is really small) we pulled right up to the gate where the planes park and waited. We watched a UPS truck load some things into a small plane and another small plane take off, still with very few questions. I just had to tell them "the thing we have to pick up for Daddy should be here in about 5 minutes." They went on to watch their movie as I watched the horizon for the plane to come in. Somehow I missed that but spotted it as it was taxiing up to park. Kylie was more interested in watching the plane than Karinda, I waited to make sure it was the right plane and then asked them if they wanted to go see who was getting off the plane, Kylie was all over it. I actually had to tell Karinda to get out of the van. Grandma was about half way to us and then they realized it was her. "Grandmaaaaaa" and they were off running. Grandpa was there too along with two other men.

When we got back Grandma helped us with school and took us out for lunch. It was a beautiful day so we went on a bike ride and to the park. Then she helped me paint the living room a little more. After supper they played some spoons with the girls and they left the next morning but it was nice having some visitors, especially, Grandma!
