All four grandkids descended on us Sunday afternoon. I’ve spent a good deal of the time cooking meals, cleaning up the mess and washing dishes. We also raked leaves, played games, made cookies, roasted marshmallows over the fire pit. Today we torched the burn pile, we’re going to visit my sister and make pralines in addition to all the other meal preps and clean ups. They go home tomorrow afternoon. We’re having a lot of fun. The grandboy slipped in mud while playing soccer at school last Wednesday, landed on concrete and broke his clavicle (hence the sling in the picture).
I managed to elbow my way to the computer which has been in constant use designing clothes by the grandgirls or the grandboy checking his facebook page, to make this quick post.
Everyone have a wonderful Christmas Day if you celebrate it and I’ll be back in a few days (hopefully after having caught up with everyone).
Enjoy your holly-days Ellen. I enjoy reading your blog and appreciate your comments on mine.

ReplyDeleteEllen, it looks like you've all had great fun. This picture is great. And if you're anything like me, all that activity has you a little tired as well as adrenalized... don't know if you have any down time coming your way.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to wish you a very happy holiday and New Year. :-)
Happiest Christmas to you, too.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic - burning marshmallows is a time honored tradition. Oh yeah!
Awww...that's awesome that you have all your grandkids to yourself.
