We had an enjoyable weekend. First of all, on Friday evening; we went out to eat at a local seafood restaurant. Imagine the joy of seeing two sweet lil boys walk in and be excited about seeing Nanny and Poppa at the place they were eating! It was soooo funny. Alden (my eldest son's youngest son) walks in and says;" Nanny, me not know you and Poppa come here to eat. I gonna sit wid you at ur table." and sat he did. He is always super excited to see his Poppa, but the best came when they had ordered dinner, and D was not at their table,Alden just yells across the way..."Daddy your supper is here! Come eat!" Of course D did not react quickly enough so that warranted a visit to where his Dad was standing. He patted him on the leg a couple of times to get his attention and again announced the food was ready. Alden always has a smile, a full blown burst of energy and and a great idea. I love his outlook on life!
Can you tell what we did the next evening?
SPARKLERS!!!!We lit a fire in the heatwave firepit, roasted "smarshmellows" and made smores and lotsa memories! For some reason, the boys recalled two boxes of sparklers and they were enjoyed till all fizz went out. Then we resorted to flashlights and a little flashlight tag untill the cold night air ran us all indoors. Of course, Nanny has a some problems running in the dark night without a hand to hold. (Can't take a chance turning that ankle over!) Once back inside and warm baths were given - we put on the movie, MARMADUKE, neither one of the boys lasted ten minutes. It was lights out after all the fire building, outdoor cooking, cold fresh night air, and warming baths. Ahhhhhhh the joys of a blissful weekend!!!
Then today....I had the joys of lions, tigers, and bears OH MY!!!
it went more like dirt, grime and dust ahhhh LAWD!!! AS in keeping in step with those long ago schedules, today was laundry, and clean up day. Its a task I never take to very eagerly. I always want more time and I find that I drag more out to clean than energy to clean it. My spunk tank always runs out before the chores do! And the more you clean, the more you see to clean. Ok long story short....my master bedroom is sooo clean and I keep going in there and looking at the sparkle and shine and all those lil dustbunnies no longer hiding out in the corners.
Will it last...NOPE....will it have to be done again...YEP.....maybe I will sparkle and shine another room on a day I slide on my ruby red slippers and gather my courage, put my heart into it, Although some of you may be wondering now....nope..."I don't have a brain!!! } Please take me to the wizard.
