Grandma and Papa are Home!!!

Mark's parents are back from spending the winter in Florida. So on Sunday we went out to spend some time with them and to get Megan used to seeing her other grandparents again. Since it has been awhile since we have been at their Michigan house, Megan was very shy when she walked in. She was ready for a nap, so I took advantage of her shyness and kept her calm and put her to sleep. Once she woke up she got a snack and then Grandma asked Megan if she wanted to go play under the stairs. Megan didn't even give it a second thought she grabbed Grandma's finger and walked to the stairs.

I can't remember if it was last summer or the summer before but Papa wanted to take advantage of the space under the basement steps. So he put some carpet down, added some shelves, a chalkboard and filled it with toys. It is/was a hit!!! All of the grandkids love playing in their. I think last summer Megan was carried in their a few times but was too small to enjoy it. But this time, she loved being in their. Plus I'm sure that Grandma enjoyed being able to play with Megan.

Here are the shelves that are under the stairs. This will probably be the only picture this summer of all the toys put away. Most of the time the toys are every where!

Megan is learning about the chalk board and eraser. It is kind of hard to see, but Papa put a split door in so just the bottom can close (perfect for playing store) or the top can close (perfect for "animals" to crawl in and out)

I was down there long enough to take these pictures then I headed back upstairs to let Grandma and Megan play. It was a good visit. It gave Megan a chance to get used to their house again so the next time we are there she can just start off playing!
