Lots of crafting, craziness, card games of War, storytelling, cooking, dish-washing, laughing and visiting have been going on in my house this week. It is quiet today. They've gone to visit the Mod Family for the day.
Overheard while making clothes for paperdolls:The oldest, Elizabeth, was having a hard time making her bathing suit fit the doll properly. She was frustrated because the top of the paperdoll's underwear was showing. I'd told her repeatedly that it couldn't be helped...Then her younger sister piped up and said.
"She's a perfectionist like mother!"
Then Elizabeth said: "Well, if you were a firstborn you would be a perfectionist too."
From the mouths of a seven and a nine year old...who are both going on thirty it seems.
Anyway...it's been real....real fun!
LOL at the kids. Stevie, I'm glad that you're taking time to enjoy yourself during this period of change in your life.
ReplyDelete...this was certainly true in my family...and no I wasn't the first born:)
ReplyDeleteVery creative time going on here...did you design the paperdolls?...I had more fun with paperdolls when I was a child than I did with regular dolls...
What fun having the Grands for awhile.
ReplyDeleteI want to come for a week of crafts and craziness...and a day in the middle with the modfamily...that sounds like the perfect trip! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're the best grandma ever, Stevie!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Betsy ~ I'm want to come and play too! Gosh those girls are growing up from post to post, just beautiful!

Oh, WHAT FUN!
ReplyDeleteI just ADORE paper dolls!
Makin Memories for those precious girls!
Happy Weekend to YOU.
What fun ... and what wise kidlettes
ReplyDeleteLosing a job that you didn't leave first sucks. I have been fired, told to pack my bags and leave, because I was not sufficient, three times. I soldiered on and found better places eventually. So will you. Love your blog and Magpie. I'll have to fly back there for a visit soon.
ReplyDeleteI will say it again, your grandkids are so cute! Looks like everyone is having a fun time. Good luck with the job hunting and have a wonderful weekend.

Too funny. I love overhearing what kidlets have to say. And the girl closest to you in the top photo looks like you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they inherited Granma's creativity too!
ReplyDeleteDon't we all have a difficult time getting our bathing suits to fit properly?!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your dear ones with me for a day.
Isn't it something the things kids can come up with!! They sound very bright and I'm sure you've had so much fun with them during their visit.
