Grandkid Shenanigans

Here are some glimpses of fun with the

grandkids in early February.

At Bri's house, she prepares to show you 

the hair that Grandpa braided, adorned

by two lovely ribbons.

 View # 1

 View # 2 is my favorite.  She's adorable.

Amanda and Judy make sure these children are 

amply supplied with strawberries and other fresh 

fruit at all times.There are never any complaints.

 Bri even snapped a photo of me and

Judy while we were there.

Bri and Hunter are used to helping Amanda

in the kitchen all the time, so once again

Judy involved them in preparing the chicken

nuggets and pizza rolls.

On a different day, it was warm enough

for Evan and Claire to play outdoors 

at our house.  So it was off to the sandpile

to bake cookies, cakes, and muffins.

Here's Evan in his red-hot roadster.  I'll

take the kids anywhere on the property 

they want to go.  A good workout.

There was a time when Evan wanted nothing

to do with this tire swing horse, but he loved

it this day.

Claire says,"Thanks for stopping by.  You're

just in time to help with the cleaning!"

These next few pictures feature our Santa

Claus train, which for some reason (Grandpa

couldn't find it) didn't get pulled out till February!

Bri gets in the mood by fastening her

jingle bell bracelet.

First we'll see if Santa can push the train.

Okay, li'l train.  Just see if you can go

between my feet.  I dare you!

Whooo-Whooo!  Comin' through!

But the most fun of all is setting up

unavoidable crashes!

Bri and Hunter both love to create things

with these magnetic construction pieces.

Like many of our best toys, these once

belonged to Jennifer and Amanda.

Here are two wonderful cars Bri created

a little later when it was her turn.

As for Hunter, he had moved on to snack

time.  And the most fun is being allowed

to use Grandma's special scissors to open

fruit snacks all by himself!

Let's wrap it up with this 2 minute video.

It consists of Bri's imaginary phone call,

Hunter's analysis of a nesting ball, and 

some cute interactions.

If you think this was fun, my next post will

have all four grandkids together.  Now that

is simply not to be missed!
