Day Three Hundred Twenty Three 2011

We enjoyed hanging out with grandson Elijah for a while this afternoon while his mom and sister attended a play and his dad worked. He slurped down a few Bomb Pops, batted a few balls in the back yard, found a nifty looking Poplar tree leaf that he took home, did a little squirrel watching (along with the neighbor cat Lily) and soaked up this beautiful windy November Saturday. That’s good stuff.

Hanging Out With Elijah

Grandson Elijah is hanging out with me part time this week until his stint at Mother's Day Out starts next week. He looks like Mr. Tough Guy in this pic.

Had his "wife beater" undershirt on today. He gets a kick out of saying that. He also gets a kick out of those old Fisher Price Little People.

Twelve car pile up on Elijah Highway. Circus train involved. Massive Little People casualties. Somebody call 911.

Checking out the Ziploc bags of old toys his mom played with. Sometimes he runs across something interesting.

"Hey! It's E.T.!" he says, seeming amazed by that discovery. We watched that movie while we were in Florida recently.

He picked ChickFil-a for lunch. We checked out the giant watermelon sitting there.

Pay a dollar and guess the watermelon's weight. Money goes to a charity--I forget what. Maybe less than fifty but more than twenty five? Who knows. Just don't touch it or sit on it, please.

"Lick. Lick. Lick," as Steve would be thinking in the Cloudy w/Meatballs movie. I get a kick out of the Solaris color setting on my cell phone camera. And it's always a kick spending the day with my favorite Little Man, although he's not so little these days. Don't grow up too fast, Elijah!

Day One Hundred Ninety 2010

Hooray For Friday!

Always happy when this rolls around.

Storm clouds brewing over Cookeville at lunch time today. They were so pretty.

Waiting out the rain at Mickey D's.

TV Bomb Pop Zombies. They resemble some kids I know.

Oh yes. It's that good.

Got rain? We did! Hooray!

Looking out my back door.

Mother and child reunion. Mom and Baby Snail were clinging to the side of the front porch. I've never seen a snail that tiny.

Buddy Cat says, "Hey!" We hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Day Five

Tuesday + School Day = Elijah and Shelby

These two assume the position after school, scarfing up Pudding Pops and Bomb Pops while watching 'Phineas and Ferb'. They both had a good first day back in school after the two week break.
