We went to see Grandma!

We took the boys to see Grandma today.  When we got there she was in an activity with others.  I guess I need to get a copy of the activities calendar because she always seems to be doing something when I show up and I don't want to interrupt that time for her.  They told us to go on in anyway.  They had just made pizzas.  Of course, the boys wanted some and they let them have some.  Grandma ate her whole piece!  Then we shared with her a photobook we had made of our Florida trip last month.  She seemed to really enjoy looking through that, although she asked about 10 times how long we were gone and if everyone stayed healthy on the trip (that's where the short term memory problem shows up).  We then played one of the kids games that we brought with us called Zingo, it's kind of like Bingo (go figure).  She said she enjoyed playing it and when I asked if she'd like us to bring it again to play she said yes.  We stayed for almost 2 hours and surprisingly my boys didn't get too crazy, which is a HUGE concern for me taking them to see her.  It seems ok when I take only one of them, but both of them makes me a little nervous, so I'm trying to figure out things to do so it goes smoothly.  Taking one of their games definitely helped!  We then walked her back to her room.  My boys always want to "help" her with her walker and it scares me to death!  Just one fall would be horrible!   Grandma insists that it's okay, so I just tell them to go slowly and not pull on it and then I almost hold onto Grandma the whole way.  Sometimes I don't know if it's them pulling her too fast or her just walking that fast...she does walk faster then I expect.  Miss Geneva, her roommate, always gives the boys something to eat when we're there.  Today it was bite sized Butterfingers.  I think that was the first time they have really had a whole (bite size) candybar!  And she said she had a whole drawer full of them, so of course my boys will remember that every time we are there!  Gabe gave Grandma an invite to his bday party next weekend and she asked if someone would be there to bring her, we told her of course!  She also asked if she got to bring her swimsuit to swim with the kids (on the invite it says for kids to bring their suits to swim in kiddie pool) I told her sure!  She said she didn't think she owned a suit anymore! :)
