Elly and Brian left their kids in our care for a couple of days while they escaped to California. Brett was out-of-town and so Sariah joined us too. We had a wild time! We played games, drew pictures, read stories, watched movies and built forts. The boys went on a bicycle ride with Grandpa. We had a great time...at least until bedtime rolled around. Getting the kids settled down was nearly impossible (Becca was the worst)! The popcorn and strawberry with Cool Whip snack distracted us from getting to bed the first night. By the time we finished our snack, brushed teeth, had tuck-ins, etc. everyone finally got settled down about midnight.
The second night wasn't much better. I laid in bed with Becca for about an hour tickling her back, arms and legs. She talked and sang, wiggled and giggled, everything but go to sleep! I'm afraid we delivered a bunch of cranky kids to their other Grandma for the final two days.

I thought the grandkids were supposed to have late nights when they stay with their grandparents :)
Oh the memories!! You're such a good grandma tickling Becca . . . she knows a good thing - I wouldn't go to sleep either as long as the ticklin' continued! When do you leave for Hawaii . . . am trying to get used to winter weather again . . . and will have to get my blog up and going again. I like the new look here . . you're a dedicated blogger and I so enjoy your works!
