Good job Emme

Nothing like learning to build with LEGO when you are a Nana. Bob has always been the LEGO master builder and teacher. This is my first attempt. Fortunately Emmeline knew how to follow instructions. Ha Ha

Emme and Clairi hold Lemme and Larry

The Gdaughters are so handy with the new puppies. I am proud of the way they have learned to be caregivers.

Emmanuelle cleans the deck

When you come to Nana's to be babysat, you take a risk.
Here is the pretty dress that Emmanuelle wore to show Nana. Soon she was scrubbing the deck with broom, watering can and shovel. So long pretty dress.

Amazing GGirls

It always amazes me that the 3 GGirls want to come to Nana's to play together.. They have every toy in the book at their homes. Nana just has a big backyard, soccer ball, puppies, and a boring deck where you can find brushes to scrub the drain pipes as Papa pours water into them. Nana has snacks too that are forbidden chocolate. Nana always has cheese sticks and chocolate milk. OH YES.

Burnt porridge

It has been ages since I burned the hot oatmeal. I thought it tasted burnt, then I cleaned out the pot and TADA it was black on the bottom.

As Emme sees it

Quoting Emmeline: "Nana, did you used to be a thin girl like me and now you are an old girl?"

Trail Mix privileges

I am no longer teaching my children to eat the healthy stuff in the trail mix bag. I can leave the raisins, pick out the M&M's and replenish with a bag of M&M's from Costco, SO THERE.
