Fun with Grands!

Allie and Stacia had a FULL day at college. They were at school from 9 - 5....then we had dinner and went to church for a prayer walk. Michael met with Alex for lunch. I stayed home until this evening.... I had four grands visit. Bre had a well child for Trudy and it's always easier if she can focus on one child at a time at the doctor's. 

The kids were happy when I brought out the snack basket. 

We also made a craft they picked up at the library on their way over. 

Annie and Bella helped me organize this container. It looked like a porcupine when we started...pencils, pens, sharpies, colored pencils, stamps, gum, post it notes all jumbled together. First the girls tried each pen to see which ones were working. 



"Grandma! I made a rainbow!"

A thing of beauty

We discovered GG grabs a pen (or maybe 2 or 3) every week at church. I have a LOT of church pens. We also discovered we DO have Sharpies (check out the bottom right section) and LOTS of breath helps (gum, tic tacs, mints, spray...) I have educated all but GG on the correct organization of this container. I have great hopes. GG doesn't grab pens from here - he has another stash in his bedroom. I don't know why. It just is. He likes pens. 



The kids bounced me until I was sick. 

Gideon discovered a strange disease has afflicted our trees. 

I do love seasonal changes.
