  • The Cutest Kiddos

    Amanda asked me if I would babysit so that she could go Christmas shopping without the kids, and this morning worked out perfectly for both of us.  They loved seeing the small Christmas trees I have put up -

                                       

                                       

    This one is made of ribbon with lights tucked inside - made by and given to Jim by a patient many years ago -

                                       

    We played lots of things this morning!  Megan made me "dinner" -

                                       

    And she loved "pouring" me more to drink!

                                       

    Charlie went shopping and then had me go shopping and he checked out my things, on this cash register that used to be his mommy's -

                                       

    John sat and played with toys; he is so content to sit and play when his brother and sister are close by -

                                       

                                       

    When John took his nap, we got out Marbleworks - which also belonged to his mommy and his aunts all those many years ago.  This is something I don't get out when John is around, as even though we do it up out of his way, those marbles can fall all over the place!

                                       

                                       

    John didn't sleep too long here at Grandma's house.  So, we cleaned up Marbleworks and John munched on his Cheerios while I made lunch -

                                       

    Mommy came back and they all went home.  Amanda wanted to know if she could have another day to finish up her shopping - it will be the joy of my life to have them here again soon!  Especially when Charlie says, "I love you, Grandma!"

  • I love the sentence, "Mommy came back and they all went home."
    I LOVE it when the grandkids come.  Feel so blessed.  but.....I like, "Mommy came back and they all went home."   I guess I am showing my age.

  • I love to see them come and I love to see them go when they are close enough to come back soon.  

    These 3 look like 3 peas in a pod.  Don't think I've ever seen 3 kiddos look so much alike.

  • I sure love visits with the grandkids! I could have them almost daily and never get weary of it, I think!

    Your grandkids are adorable, and I love that they play with their Mommy's toys! Such cuties!

  • They really are sweet, Donna, and don't you just love seeing them play with the toys you've saved from your own children?

    Re what the others said: My good friend, Marie, a very wise sage, once told me this little poem when I said I was worn out after the kids had been home for an extended visit:
     "I've seen the lights of Paris, and I've seen the lights of Rome. But the sweetest lights I've ever seen are the taillights of the kids going home."
    It still makes me smile.  :)  

  • I just wish I had saved more of my children's toys. Most of them wore out after the younger ones each had a turn at them. I love how you play with your grandchildren. That takes time and effort.
