“mom?”
“Did you give p.j. the frosting bowl?” “Hunh? No, I gave her a little star cooky.” Yah. She helped herself. Oh gosh we laughed. Heidi was here helping frost cookies tonight, and that child had to go straight to the bathtub. Merry Christmas, p.j. You know how to live. love, Grandma
it’s a true story
We have an unexpected, spontaneous sleepover here tonight. They took off with the camera, and that’s fine. Have fun. Okay, the picture below is very dark, but it’s mine own t.c. finally asleep. He and Tim watched a movie and t.c. used Julia’s DS and Tim his own, and they played video games for a
you never know
It’s been a fine week, quiet. These flowers are left over from Thanksgiving. Here we have b.g. assisting Tim with some project. And some bored people braved the cold and hit the swings. It looks bright, but I think it was less than 30 degrees here. They’re trying to get the shoe back on him.
