Grandparents galore!

Grandparents are the best!!! After 3 weeks in California, it didn't even phase the kids that we'd go home to more family for 2 more weeks. My mom coming up to help Aunt Donalyn with family history stories, coincided great with my needing help with recovery, so my sister and sis in law came up to play, and my dad had time off with the sequester...oh and let's invite Donalyn and Steve over and have a big dinner...cue the next family reunion at the Patten house where I am "not doing anything"!?

Working on letters-- both have J in their names

We picked up Ella's week worth of homework she missed. I loved this. What a sweet friend and classmate!

Doesn't that belong on Daddy's car? Oops

And of course, it's not a reunion without COSTUMES!
