Oldest Son called Tuesday evening, asking if he could come over and use the computer and do a little laundry. “If you can come and get us, I’ll bring the baby with me and we can spend the night,” he said.
Oh yeah - he’s smart. He knows how to get a ‘yes’ out of mom [...]

“Live at the Improv”
(where the improv is bathtime in Grandma’s kitchen sink instead of the bathtub)

Oldest Son was jealous of all the time his daughter spent in my lap Friday evening. So, after she went to sleep, he wanted his turn.
Not to be outdone, Second Son had to [...]

I have a visitor this weekend. She’s quite the high maintenance guest, I might add. And a bed hog, too. But I’m not complaining, not in the least.
Having spent almost 24 hours with her now, let me go on record by saying I’ll be floored, shocked, amazed and any other appropriate adjective you want [...]

My single gray eyelash
That I can clean a room and 10 minutes after the kids are in it, you can’t tell I did anything

I was out and about this morning, meeting the football coach at the bank to sign papers making me the official Treasurer of the Booster Club, and got a phone call from Oldest Son saying he was at my house. They didn’t work today, even though it’s not raining, so he came to do some [...]

Wrapping up a week-long celebration of turning 9, PDD had her first ever slumber party last night. In attendance were 4 friends from school. That’s PDD in the middle. The two girls dressed alike are sisters, but not twins. The older sister (on the left) is going into 6th grade next year, while the rest [...]

Friday was Oldest Son’s girlfriend’s birthday, so this Grandma had two little ones spending the night. At this point, the best thing about Grandma’s house is all the computers, and beg and beg did they to ‘play game’.
They are both potty-training, and were brought to me with underwear and no pull-ups. So, my first [...]

Oldest Son, his girlfriend and her two kids spent the day with us. This is his little ready-made family, and though you can’t tell in this picture, my first grandchild is the unseen bun in the oven. However, these little ones call me Grandma, too, and that’s fine by me. You can click the [...]
