I do love my in-laws. They are really good people. I know most people say their in-laws are coming to visit with a roll of the eyes. I don't feel that way. The only bad thing about it is they came at a bad time. They got here the Saturday before last and are leaving next Saturday. That means we only had one weekend with them and have to spend two weekends transporting them to and from Kansas City. My husband had to work the one Saturday they were here so we didn't get to do anything that day anyway. He also worked the whole first week and even had to go to Kansas City overnight for work one day. Then we will have to take them to Kansas City Friday and be back for him to work overnight at a lock-in for College Heights that night. Thankfully, he did take vacation this week but it still seems that he didn't really get to spend much time with his parents. The other bad part is that the kids are in school. My older kids are 12 and 16 so they have had to go to school and do homework and haven't been able to do much with their grandparents.
We do have some good plans for the next couple of days. Tomorrow we are going to let the kids skip school and we are all going to the Tulsa Zoo. Then Thursday when the kids get out of school we are going to go to Lambert's for dinner and then Branson to watch Noah the Musical. (10 dollars for Joplin residents this weekend) I think my husband, son and father in law are going fishing tonight also. The other good thing is that my baby has gotten to spend a lot of time with his grandparents. He hasn't seen them much since they live in California so this has been good for the baby and his grandparents. It's also been nice for me to be able to leave him with them while I go to work or school. My mother in law has been making dinner for the family on the days I'm at work too so that has been really nice. I'm going to miss them when they leave!
