Grandchildren overnight

We had Holly's three youngest children overnight. They are Michael age 10, Reed age 7 and Sadie age 3.

We did our best to spoil them by getting them whatever they wanted. They wanted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, crunchy Cheetos (not baked), raspberry sherbet, Tootsie Rolls, Peanut Butter Cups, and 3 Musketeers. Sounds nutritious and yummy doesn't it?

We watched "The Little Mermaid" and played ping pong, "monkey in the middle" and dressed the dolly about a dozen times.

Then at 10:30 we settled down to watch Harry Potter.

They stayed up half the night. This is great fun for all but it is certainly exhausting, at least for those over 12.

Here is the evidence. You can see Sadie on the right, Reed in the red sleeping bag, mostly under the chair and Michael next to Reed.

The children slept late, the old folks were unable to enjoy that luxury.

Then there were the usual pancakes for breakfast, shaped as pandas, children's initials, etc. Next was more "monkey in the middle."

They truly are grand children.

It is wonderful to be grandparents.
