An Evening with Granny

The girls came over to spend the night with us. Just in case we had silly games at the birthday party tomorrow, granny had us practice carrying a ball on a spoon. They girls got pretty darned good at it! At first they had to really concentrate:




Then they got brave enough to pass each other:




Then brave enough to look away from the ball:




And one was even brave enough to do it in heels!



They will be all ready just in case silly games are played at their birthday party.

But we don't think that is going to happen... granny had to keep us busy. 23 years of Girl Scout practice sure does help entertain kids...

Granny always lets grand kids cook when they are together.

When pR was little, granny told her she needed to tear the lettuce in bite sized pieces. pR did as she was told, she bit off pieces of lettuce and spat them in the bowl - well, it was bite sized pieces, right? Today granny was much smarter. She told M that she needed to make big pieces of lettuce into little tiny pieces of lettuce for tacos. M did just as she was told:




pR was in charge of grating the knuckl... ummm... cheese:




They both took their jobs seriously and worked very well together - and very hard:




Granny never minds a little mess, as long as we all clean it up. Exactly where the cheese goes does not matter as long as it is not on granny's counter. The girls did a very good job eating all the stray pieces:




After supper, tummies full, the girls were ready to cuddle in blankies and watch tv.



M is so cute the way she holds her blankie. I have fallen in love with her. She has a very beautiful, dynamic personality - we immediately fell in love with her. Isn't she sweet?




There was a near tragedy when M was all tucked in and it was "granny and pR time". We went to look for manicure supplies and realized they were at pR's house! Granny had pR jump back into her clothes and we made a 10:00pm mad dash to THAT store - and thankfully we did not see Ms Anita there. We ran in and picked out the coolest colors of finger nail polish we could find. When we got home, we gave each other a manicure - pR did mine and I did hers. I did not get pictures of us doing the manicure (who can paint finger nails and take pictures) but I did get a picture of what one half us us looks like:



The other half of us looks the same. Ok, almost. pR did a fine job painting granny's hands to match hers :-)
