a recent visit from Grammy Pammy

The weekend after St. Patrick's Day, Grammy Pammy came for a visit. She hadn't been to see us since right before the new year-winter kept her away. She brought a tote full of girl clothes from Aunt Bitsy that the boys helped sort. They were facinated by the girl colors and some of the fabric choices for the outfits. Liam was more facintated by the empty tote. He did not want to get out or let us put clothes back into it. One of the fun things we usually do with Grammy is get a meal at our (the boys') favorite restaurant-McDonalds. It was extra exciting because I took us to the nearest one with a play area so the kids could run around. The one we went to also has a video game station, so instead of climbing all over the climbing thing, they spent a fair portion of their time trying to play those games. I cut that plan short with an executive decision to take them all to the nearest park. It was cool out, but the sun kept everyone warm. The other fun thing the boys like to do with Grammy is play board games and card games. This can be tough, because some of the boys-mostly Cale-are very competitive and always want to win. This time, Grammy played a Lego game, some Uno, Chutes and Ladders (in which she claimed the boys all cheated) and her "favorite" game-Monopoly. Not the junior version either. The grown up, count out your money, buy your properties, chance, go to jail, etc. monopoly. The boys are big fans-Grammy-not so much. But, she was a very good sport and played a short game with them. You can see how much Grammy loves this game :-)

Thanks for coming to visit Grammy!
