Grandchildren Alert!

This house is pretty quiet when it's just Hubby and me kicking around. The Snowbirds are out in their apartment on the end of the house so we don't hear much out of them either. Now add two lively grand kids into the mix and it's a whole different story! What fun we are having!

Son and DIL are attending a business convention in Florida so T an D are staying with us. I had forgotten how much 'stuff' it takes to have little ones around! They came well packed with all of their clothes for school, playtime and of course plenty of soft jammies to sleep in. They love the fleece kind that Mimi and I make for them.

We hit the park yesterday after school along with K their cousin. It was really the first warm sunny day so the park was mobbed with little ankle biters running every which way. Before we got out of the car I said to them to stay where I could see them....yeah right.....they ran towards the playground with nary a thought of poor ole Grammie who was lugging all of her camera equipment in hopes of getting some good shots!

Hey! Wait a minute! Is that Patrick Dempsey on the swings???!! He IS from Maine you know so it could be...

Naw, guess it isn't. But it could be!

After dinner, baths, homework and story reading off to bed they went. T grinds her teeth and D talks in his sleep so it was an interesting night. They won't sleep in the guest rooms, they want to be in our room which is fine, I wouldn't want them to wake up scared. T hopped on the bus this morning after we did some swinging on the porch swing and then I took D to his preschool. They are going to the University Of Maine agricultural division today to see the newborn lambs! I should have sent my camera with them!!!

I get a lot of foolishness in forwards as you all probably do but this one cracked me up. It was NOT taken around here, although it wouldn't surprise me to see one at the state fair in the summertime. It's called a Redneck Tank Top and look closely and you can see what it is made out of.

My friend Ann and I went trail riding yesterday after giving the guys a good grooming. It was a glorious day with the sun shining and the temps in the 60's. That may not sound particularly warm to some of you but to us it is a heat wave! It seemed so nice to be out on Buddy and just walking along the river watching for bald eagles that frequent that area looking for fish to dive for. Just pure tranquility. We go again Saturday and Funsize will be able to go too as she won't be at work.

Speaking of work, I need to get going on a project I am working on. It's for two precious little girls and I am having fun doing girly stuff. I'm about 5 hours into it with probably 10 more to go so I guess I'd better call it quits for today on this computer and get to work! :o)
