Babysitting Events

Im so envious of you all tablescaping, foodie, and makeover parties. As much as I long for the days that I can play. I know I have to savor every moment I have with my grandbabies for I know how fast they will grow up. This was a particularly long weekend as my son and his wife were off to Mexico for spring break. We started early Friday evening with a birthday party for my oldest son Casey and after the barbecue we broke out the laser tag guns... (that was fun!!) We were hoping to burn off some energy and wear the little ones down but at 2:00 am we were still playing musical beds. Tommorrows another day...... and apparently it starts at 7:30 am....with cartoons. What the heck we got breakfast cooking and planned a picnic and hike (hoping to wear the boys out for an earlier bedtime) After breakfast and bickering there was dirty diapers and packing.....Our picnic started about 3:30 pm. What a hike! (Can you believe I forgot my camera?) How could they possibly resist sleep after this? But lets not take any chances so we took them to the bounce park for 2 hours and played tag and went up and down all the slides and oh add some break dancing in between the bouncing!.....man, "they gotta be tired by now"..... Pulling out all the stops we dropped by walmart and pick up the movie Madagascar2 and headed home with a little 2 step in our hearts. Tonight would be our night for sleep..... Movie starts and in 15 minutes 1 down and 2 to go......one hour later 2 down and one to go. hmmmm Im not sure when the next one dropped. I just heard screaming at 1:00 am and musical beds began once again. Well, I think they have us on their routine now. Cartoons at 7:30 breakfast w/bickering by 9:00 as they plan what kind of torture they can put the grandparents through today.....A Bike ride to the park to fly kites? oh, that doesn't sound sooo bad....then bike rides home. That will wear them out! Well this is me at 12:35 am and this precious little two year old is wanting to push the buttons....LOL If he only knew he already has.....hahaha

Oh Athella, I am exhausted just reading your post! Those sweet grand babies there is nothing like them.. but sometimes it is so nice when their Mom and Dad are here to get them! Of course I start missing them as soon as they are gone. Get some rest.. I am recovering from some really sick days, but getting back to my regular puny self! Love, Cindy
