Day Two Hundred Eighty Four 2012

Fall break is winding down. Grandpeeps Shelby and Elijah are spending the night with us tonight. They love the Indiana Jones movies, and they’ve seen them all—except for the first one. Neil rented Raiders Of The Lost Ark from Blockbuster (amazingly still in business). We had the best time watching this movie. I’ve seen it dozens of times, but it’s a blast watching it with people who have never seen it. Shelby and Elijah loved it (Elijah stayed awake until the end). I never get tired of this classic movie. I may have to break down and buy a copy.

Day Two Hundred Eighty Three 2012

Grandpeeps Shelby and Elijah are on fall break this week and spent the day with me. The day started out with the first frost in our area, too cold to go outside, so we spent most of the day being slugs, until the sun took some of the chill off this afternoon. And a beautiful blue sky October day it was—perfect for batting the ball around and swinging on the backyard swing.

Day One Hundred One 2012

The Hula Hoop lives! Two bored grand kids resorted to showing off their skills with this big plastic circle this afternoon after school. Elijah can't quite get the hang of it, so he used it as a jump rope. Shelby is very good at spinning it, even around her knees. Good to know they can still make their own fun in the sun.

Day Sixty 2012

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart
~Stevie Wonder tune

Grandpeeps Elijah, Knox, and Shelby--my sunshine on a stormy day.

Day Four 2012

First day back in school today after Christmas break and an unexpected 'snow day' yesterday. The grandpeeps had a good day and were glad to see their friends. Wish I could get back into the groove that easily.

Day One Hundred Nine 2011

Grandpeeps and spiders, oh my! They didn't know they were sharing jump time on the trampoline with this big hairy spider. Jeepers creepers, peepers!

Day Ninety Eight

Good Day Thursday
