Scott's parents came for a visit this weekend. I had this great plan that we would go Saturday morning to a local pumpkin patch/corn maze/petting zoo and I was so excited. UNTIL Harper was up the entire night Friday night and had a fever. Scott and I got about one hour of sleep and I didn't want to take Harper out if she had a fever. So we ended up staying home all day. We didn't even take any pictures except this a few one night at dinner when H was making silly faces again.
I was SO thankful Scott's parents were here because I felt horrible all day Saturday. Scott's mom played with Harper and I was able to take two naps and felt more human by that afternoon. And Harper loves the attention from her grandparents. She said "Hi Pap-pa" and "Gigi" a thousand times. She was a talking machine all weekend. She can't talk enough these days. She repeats every word we say and she wakes up in the morning wanting to name everything she sees.
I got a burst of energy towards the end of the game and cooked us dinner. I had decided I wanted to try and make my mam-ma's famous chocolate pie for the first time. Clearly I need some serious help on making a meringue. I just don't have it down yet. It was only my second try. But the pie tasted good. The picture is a little sad but if you want a good recipe - I posted it on my recipe blog. www.kellyskornerrecipes.blogspot.com.
We stayed home from Church today because Harper hasn't been 24 hours without a fever and I didn't want to infect any kids. She feels fine other than her fever and slept pretty good last night but I know she needed to be home today. Scott's parents left and Harper was sad to see them go. We were thankful to have their help and company this weekend!
