No new words today

It cracks me up, that as verbal as Nora is, I get out the camera, and she no longer shows off her amazing vocabulary. But, we do have fun on grandma, Nora day. I love to hear her read, and now that she is old enough to understand the rules, we have fun playing games. She is to kind when she plays Monopoly, and thinks I am going to lose though. I smile all day when the grandkids are around.

Sara Speechless?

Sara just chattered on and on about her beads and the patterns she was putting together.I get out the camera, and the child couldn't speak. It is always so much fun to have a Sara Day, and a Nora Day. Some times I have had a Kyle Day. Mia.....a couple of hours...maybe.

I was laughing too hard

It has been so hard to get a picture of Kyle smiling. He is not a fan of the camera, so when he started to wave so enthusiastically, and smile too, I grabbed the camera but was shaking with laughter as I held the camera; I will have to try again. Too fun.

Delightful Hour

I just spent the most delightful hour on the phone with my oldest Granddaughter. I have been sick, so haven't seen the grand kids for over a week, and I am going through major withdrawal! She had commented on my blog and wanted to make sure I had seen it. She had commented on Sam's family blog, and wanted to make sure I had seen that one. I heard all about school, and Mia knocking down the things they were playing with, I heard about the new friends she is making. She told me about a nearby park with a slide she has to hang on as she goes down. I am smiling, it was the best hour of the week. Grandma loves you too! Can't wait for the next Nora Grandma day!

Bee's

On Thursday, we saw a few bees out front of the house, on Friday there were a few more. So Andy decided to try a Wasp Killer, he arced it perfectly into the hollow column and out came hundreds of angry bees. A quick call to an exterminator, brought a guy with a full bee suit and a lot of foam. No pictures of him in action. We stayed in the house with the doors and windows shut tight!

Fun times

For the 3 people who look at this blog you have probably been missing pictures

of my beautiful grandchildren. So here they are.

I wish this picture had sound. Mia was laughing hysterically at a puppet show Nora was doing. She is crawling. Grandma has to vacuum and sweep again.

This is our family picture. Nora drew it.

Can you pick out Grandma and Grandpa? We are in the center!

Also in the picture are Holly and Sam and Nora and Sara, and assorted animals at the bottom. Nora has a story to go with every picture Kyle gets to come and play with Grandma when there is a baby sitter problem.

He is so cute. All the clutter in the picture behind him has now got to go.

Both he and Mia are crawling,

Kyle heads for the cords and outlets, Mia picks up every thing on the floor.

These two little stinkers conspired with grandpa to make a trip to the Donut store if they would sleep in until it was light outside. The bribe worked and Grandma took a long soak in the tub!
I told Andy, just get 3 donuts......for an accountant the man just can't count!

This is what makes me happy. I am so blessed.
