Magical Mimi

Mimi was a life saver this week.  I was working at the pre-school and teaching a ton of programs at Chimney Rock for their Harvest Days.  Needless to say, it was a very busy week for all of us.  Mimi came to the rescue and good thing she did.  Myles ended up being sick all week with a fever and just feeling crummy.  She stayed home with him and Grady went to school for a few days. 

In true Mimi fashion she was full of fun, creative things to do with the boys.  They stayed as busy as they possibly could.  She is a saint!  I had no idea how this week would go.

Myles is in a very clingy stage.  He won't even let Josh put him to bed anymore....only Mama.  So, I was concerned about working a full week and him driving Mimi crazy with "I want Mama" all day long.  It was a rough few days but by the end of the week he was so much better.  It didn't help that he was sick.  Magical Mimi persevered and won the approval of King Myles.  He is a tough nut to crack.

Mom, I can't thank you enough.  You are amazing.  LOVE YOU!!!!

 Mimi brought crafts galore.  Here they are making clay monsters.

The final creations (before they were cut to pieces by two crazy boys wielding play dough knives)

Next they made Halloween decorations for the house. 

They made masks and costumes.

Look at these two Ghouls.  Can you tell Myles was a bit under the weather?

Mimi read books and told a billion stories.  They requested a lot of Halloween stories and Mimi delivered some great ones.

They even wrote a book about Monsters.  It was SO cute.

Come back soon, Mimi, or I will suck your blood..... (thanks for the vampire teeth)
