Grandma's here let the fun begin. Todd's mom Marcia came to visit us. She arrived yesterday and seems to have had a good flight. I was given orders yesterday when Todd brought her home from the airport that she could not go to sleep...so entertain we tried. She's been a trooper. The boys are excited to see here and insist on sleeping in her room on the floor. Today Todd took her to the Catacombs which she really liked. Then we ate lunch here and quickly moved onto the Louvre. It was really nice. It's the 3rd time some of us have been there this trip and the kids, though tired weathered it well. I had read they have free strollers you can barrow there. I don't think anyone knows about then but they are great and you don't have to lug yours into the museum. We piled(literally) everyone onto the stroller and made our way through. At one point Hannah lay down on a bench and within 2 seconds was out cold.

| Our flag is bigger than yours.... |

| Well we walked past the trampolines so what else could we do but take a moment to jump. |
 |
| Took on my run the other day...the lone lock. |
 |
| This is fun right? |
 |
| I am not sure who was more excited about finding a crown, grandma or the girls? |

| Bringing home Nana's package from the post office. |

| boom |
My mom(aka Nana) sent us a package. We were in Barcelona when they tried to deliver it so we had to visit our local post office to retrieve it. I took the troops and my unreadable postal slip(which I assumed said I could pick it up) and off we went. A man took the slip and was trying to explain something to me about the time. I was trying my best to repeat that I could come back tomorrow or after 5pm to get it, after a brief moment in perfect English he asked me if I'd prefer to speak English?...No I prefer to continue to babble in french and use ridiculous hand gestures to mime what I think tomorrow looks like.
Finally after we were able to get the box and it was like Christmas morning. The boys got some lego's and a glow in the dark baseball bat.
Jackson is such a funny kid. He was juggling some balls in the house and I told him he should go stand outside with a cup and juggle for people as they walk by and maybe they'd toss him some money. I was kidding but next thing I know he's in the Kitchen looking for a cup. I then told him he need to practice more before he committed to a street performing job....but who knows.
We have a busy week of sight seeing. It's nice Marcia's here and Teresa will be here next week as it is going to force us to see a bunch of stuff we've been a little lazy about seeing. I even had to buy a museum pass we are so committed to seeing all these new things. Tomorrow we are going to the farmers market and on a Boat tour of the river. I'm dozing off as I type this so I'm going a nightie night. xoxo
