My mom visited me and mine for my 30th birthday. It was great to see her and even better to watch her spoil the kids. Every kid needs the occasional rotten spoiling. Max managed to make out with two large Avengers action figures,
(he used his long saved pocket money for a third, and is now only needs Captain America,) lots of yummy treats and a trip to the aquarium all thanks to Grandma. Mae made out like a bandit as well. Grandma brought her a Minnie Mouse purse, a lovely dress, and bought her lots of Hello Kitty stuff while here. Poor Spikey got the short stick with a bath. My mom LOVES to bathe babies, but Spike is more afraid of water then the Wicked Witch of the West. He was mad at her for the rest of the day. They did make up though and were happy together for the rest of the week. It was a fun week with lots of great food; trips to Eureka Springs, The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, The Original Walton 5 and 10, and The Oklahoma Aquarium; and lots of presents for me. After about two days of my mom and I arguing about who would pay for stuff, I decided to just roll with it and let her pay. Then it was just fun. Sadly she would not buy me a $1500 hand made quilt in Eureka Springs. (It was totally worth the money.) She did get me the best present I could ever ask for though. She brought me a painting she did during college. It is my favorite piece of artwork that I have loved my whole life. The only down side is that if there is a fire in my house I may be more tempted to save it then my kids. That is one of my mom's best qualities. She likes stuff, but she isn't materialistic. She would give me anything of hers I would ask for. She loves things, but loves to make people she loves happy more.
