Grandkids are back!!!!

After being gone for ten very long days, they are back! We spent Monday afternoon doing whatever they wanted to do.. Those activities included riding in the Doodlebug, playing freeze tag, simons says, playing in the sprinkler, playing in the pool, eating fried fish and fresh tomatoes (BK did that, not BT - he had a cheese sandwich and a croissant), etc. BK also requested I cook corn, and I did, and she ate like a champ. I tried to tell Benton the fish was homemade fishsticks and he still wouldn't try it. It was actually fried trout and it was very good. Thanks for sharing boss!





BT arrived wearing his 4th of July glitter hat. He is "ready to celebrate America." He is so aware of what is going on this week! I had surprises for both of them, and they loved it all. They gave Man due credit for the stuff they knew he had supplied (freebies from a function he attended last week) and they loved their travel puppy pillows I bought them.





Last night we took them to Mazzios for family night. This meant all the pizza they could eat and balloon animals made by Mr. Clown. I asked BK what she wanted Mr. Clown to make her, and she said a pink flower. He did just that, according to her color instructions. I asked BT what he was going to ask him to make him, and he said a robot. I told him he should have a backup just in case. When he told Mr. Clown he wanted a robot, Mr. Clown didn't blink. He asked what colors he wanted and BT said he wanted a red body, white arms and blue legs, and voila!!!!

He couldn't have been happier. And although it looks like BK is beating her brother in the head with her flower, she is actually waving at Mr. Clown.

When Mr. Clown moved on to another table, BK wanted to talk to him some more, so she walked up to him and swatted him on the booty to get his attention and giggled. I thought it was hilarious, but apparently Mr. Clown left his sense of humor home. He didn't even smile. He was not injured. Get over it Mr. Clown!!! She is two!!! Next time, we will go back to Pizza Inn. That Clown is way friendlier and is always laughing!

Just for the record.. BK ate a salad with black olives and tomatos and ranch dressing, pickled okra (she thought it was a pickle), spaghetti and pizza. She ate all of the salad. She picked out what she wanted on it when I was fixing her plate. I love to cook for her. She will eat anything, including sushi (California Roll) and loves it.

This afternoon, we head to the pool!..
