raine's home

We picked her up from the airport yesterday afternoon. She had a great time with her grandparents. Her favorite things that they did together were the trip to Dollywood, especially the rides in the amusement park, and the Tweetsie train, which stages a train robbery during the ride and cowboys come and rescue the passengers. She liked that a lot. She was also thrilled because her grandparents built a fire pit in their yard so they could roast weenies and marshmallows for dinner (supplemented by mac & cheese, of course). Hmmmm think she was happy? Her grandmother even mentioned that they were looking at picnic tables so that they would be "ready for next time" and the tribal picnics that were bound to be involved. Yeah, it made me smile, too. What are grandparents for, after all?

While she was gone, we switched her room, and the computer room, so that she got the bigger of the two. She's pretty happy about that, and has been enjoying the space in her new room, as well. No problems sleeping last night. Well, she has her same bed, but you know, sometimes rearranging even familiar furniture can throw you off a bit. She wore the new shorts I made her while she was gone, they have dinosaurs on them, so they were well received. Today she also got to "decorate" her walls with some wall stickers of dinosaurs. She had them in the old room, but we had another set. These things are pretty cool, designed to stick on and stay, and then peel off easily (which they did). I would recommend them for putting some flair in a kids room.
