Unfortunately my parents had to leave! Daron and I were getting quite spoiled with them here. Mom was always cooking something and Dad painted our molding, cabinets, and more. One day my neighbor emailed me and said my parents were working too hard. She drove by at lunch and saw them sweeping the front walk, painting the front door and steps and heard nailing later that day. What can I say? I have great parents! Luckily, that was the only day I worked while they were here so I made sure we had fun too! My Mom and I actually made curtains for Addison's room. She measured (of course, if anyone knows me they know math is not my strong point) and I sewed. The curtains we made are in the photo with Mom adjusting them. The cow print material over the other curtains are going to be hemmed etc. we just ran out of time. The little elf/gnome figurines Mom brought from Florida and their colors match the room quite well. They have cute little faces too. I bought two of those red lamps and painted them and am planning to glue black fuzzy trim around the bottoms of the lamps. By Saturday we needed a break from the house so Mom and I went to Page Arizona to shop and eat. As you can see from the photos we stopped off at an overlook of the Lake Powell Dam - I think it is actually called the Glenn Canyon Dam. Anyhow, we saw the dam and ate at the Dam Bar and Grill. It was fun and although I was sad to see them go I knew they were heading to the Wynn hotel for two nights - that definitely made leaving a bit easier for them :) Now I just hope they win some money!!!
