It's like Herding Squirels...

That's what I say when people ask me about watching my grandsons. I tell them "it's like herding squirrels", because they're all over the place. They climb, jump, wrestle, dance, squirm, fight, hug, grab, run, jog and all at the same time...well, it seems like it. This weekend, I had two of them over night. We, and when I say we, I mean I, had the two oldest ones. Franklin age 6 and Ethan age 5. Why do I just take the two of them? First of all, the third would probably put me over the edge and second of all, he's not completely potty trained and doesn't always sleep all night and Nana doesn't do poop or wake up at night very nicely. Yeah, at least I'm honest. Oh don't you dare feel sorry for him. There is no neglecting that one. When I can, I take him for the day and it's just me and him and we have a grand time. So basically it evens out.

Here are some of the things we did and when I say we....I mean mostly them.....


We played with blocks.....





we played outside.....




We ate cupcakes and ice cream...






We made a fort.....




and we did a lot more like visit Auntie's lamb and go to McDonald's and we sang songs too, including a beautiful rendition of "Umbrella, ella, ella" but I don't have any pictures of that because my camera's battery died, so there you have it. So there you go. A day in the life of a Nana. Oh yeah....I did this too! And when I say I, I really mean I.



Cheers!...I'm just say'n

  2. I am DYING laughing here...I thought I was the only one that used that term "herding squirrels"! I say that when I tell people what it's like to get all 5 of our dogs out the back door in the mornings.

    Your grandsons are ADORABLE!!
