Day One Hundred Ten 2013

Ever Lovin Saturday!






Grandson Knox is here for a visit with his mommy Kelly. While mommy Kelly enjoyed some ‘me time’ with her friend, Grandpa Neil and I took Knox to the playground at our church. He loved every second of it, especially going down the slide. The sun was out. The sky was blue. And Knox was oblivious to the cool wind. That’s what being a kid is all about ~ happy oblivion! He wore us out. I think I need a nap, too. Happy Saturday, everyone!

Day One Hundred Nine 2013

Neil and I took grandpeeps Shelby and Elijah to McDonald’s after school this afternoon for some treats. They got good grades in their latest progress reports so I guess that was reason enough to seek out some fries and shakes.

Elijah was the one who wanted to go to McDonald’s because the latest toy offering is from a popular video game called Skylanders Giants that he and Shelby love to play and he desperately wanted one of the figures from that game.

That’s why they call it a Happy Meal. It sure made this kid smile.

Happy TGIF, everyone! Don’t forget to smile and be happy.

Day One Hundred Eight2013

Granddaughter Shelby is totally into the whole Hobbit thing, having seen the Lord Of The Rings trilogy movies. She wants to read the books, but when she saw how big the whole thing is, decided to start with something smaller [or Hobbit size, you might say]. So she began reading ‘The Hobbit’.

And now she’s almost finished with it ~ only a few more pages until The End. Way to go, Shelby! I’m proud of you for your love of reading. Maybe you can tackle the trilogy one day.

Grandson Elijah is in the process of losing baby teeth. The front two bottom teeth are long gone and permanent teeth are already growing in. His top two are loose, especially this one. Each day he brings home that empty Ziploc bag the teacher gave him to put the lost tooth in. Maybe tomorrow, Elijah. Just maybe that stubborn thing will fall off when you least expect it.
