It was a Mankato Sunday, and Meg cried when Nate left till she fell asleep with me on the couch:  

After a little nap, we went to Great-Grandma Woodward's to ask her some questions about her life (Zach recorded them and put them on family tree) and she gave the kids the leftover balloons from her birthday party (which they thought was the greatest thing ever.)  I loved that she said quietly to me, "When you get home you can just do what I always did and pop them with a pin."  :)

While the kids climbed in the car (and fought a little bit) I talked with her on her front porch, and couldn't help taking a picture of her there by her roses with her hand full of weeds that she pulled while we talked.  She is a wonderful, wonderful woman.

 I had envisioned making it home for an early dinner and the first installment of Anne of Green Gables, but we talked so long it was a late-ish dinner and the kids talked me into the entire first DVD, so it was a little bit of a late night.  It reminded me of finals week my freshman year at BYU when we watched all 8 hours of Anne while we should have been studying… fun to share the classic with my kids.  (Nate was not super sad he missed that part of the day 🙂
