Only 2 more days with the Baby Grands

The kids are enjoying themselves in Hawaii

it's so nice to give them a very well deserved 
~break~

oh man do they owe me

They will be home Friday...

TGIF

ok so am I  a bad Oma if I'm counting the days?

this is exhausting work 
for this out of shape Oma

how can 2 cute little things like this be work you say..

sorry about all the blurry

mostly taken on my i-phone

and they move at such high speeds

I'm lucky to get any shots at all

we walk to the park everyday
~sometimes twice~

very good for me until today when the humidity got me

how can ya'll take this heat and humidity...

i needed the nap at the end of that walk
and well forget the hair..
it's no longer curly just frizzy

we bake cookies

sorry about the no shirt

I am finding clothes are very over-rated

all you have to do is wash them

what's wrong with no clothes?

"Oma, when we can take them out"

~this is said every minute~

not very good for me as i can't turn away a good cookie

Madeline and I fight over them 

thank goodness for the walking and sweating..

we play London bridge 
under Oma's legs

we watch the dog Sugar

chase her tail

we play stickers

sometimes first thing in the morning

before Oma's even out of bed

I love this picture of her soft face

lots of this all day..
notice my daughter used a gutter for the book shelf

watching the big kids waiting for the bus
oh how they dream of being able to do that

yesterday we ventured out shopping to 
~Wal-mart~
thank goodness the neighbor girl wanted to go 
with me to show me how to get there
& 
~help~

we made a jewelry box for mommy

ok so i got a C- in art..
but I can balance a checkbook to the 
~penny~

we play dress up

Oma get this one off it's too

~itchy~

"please Madeline, Aunt Becky wants a picture of you 

in this pretty dress she got you"

~NO~

"I want to put the warm soft coat on again"

then it's a bath and bedtime..

he looks so much like a baby
all wrapped up

lots of hugs and kisses
make it all worth it

then they fall asleep

I don't dare go into Charlie Bears room
after he's fallen asleep


only 2 mores days
~bittersweet~


but I miss my other sweetie

this was when he dropped me off


next time Opa's coming to help
