A lot of minutes

My oldest grandson has been feeling a little under the weather lately. I went to visit today and even though he didn't feel his best, he still wanted to go to the play room and play. As we were sitting on the floor playing, The Jungle Book came on. I was excited and asked him if he wanted to watch it. He turned and looked at me and got very serious and said "I've seen it Nona, it's a lot of minutes - it takes a long time."
Needless to say, we continued to play with the trucks and cars.

The boys take a ride

My grandsons spied the dog statue I have sitting next to my fireplace. Of course after one climbed on for a ride the other had to try it out too. The dog didn't do anything or go anywhere but you would have thought they had found a new toy.

It just doesn't get any better than this.

I saw Taylor Swift

If you have followed my blog you know my grandsons watch a squirrel they have named Taylor Swift. I was visiting during lunch one day and I saw the squirrel. When I asked my grandson why he named the squirrel Taylor Swift he held his hands out and said "Nona, Taylor Swift is a singer" I got the impression their should have been a "duh" following the statement.
Sometimes it's hard to follow a 3yr olds logic - but it works for him.

I'm gonna be a fireman!

I am always entertained when I visit my grandsons. "Nona, catch me when I run; Nona, lets go in the play room; Nona, hide me." Always so much to do! Saturday, my oldest met me at the door with "Nona, did you come to play with me?" He was dressed like a dr in scrubs and Bitty was in a fireman's boot - just one, walking around. When I asked him what he was wearing I got "I'm gonna be a dr when I grow up and Bitty's gonna be a dentist like dad." After Bitty decided he had had enough of being a fireman and started playing with playdoh, the oldest changed his mind and said he was gonna be a fireman!. So now we had to put on boots, fire hat, find the fire truck, walkie talkies, emergency phone and the list went on and on.

I was ready for a nap by the time I finished "playing" with the boys.

Ain't Life Grand?

Game Day - Roll Tide Roll

Game Day is a Big Deal at my son's house. The flag is out, the pillows on the couch, everybody is dressed in the appropriate colors. When I asked my 3yr old grandson if he was watching the football game, he said in All Caps - IT'S ALABAMA FOOTBALL- Nona.

Enough Said.

kids

I love it when kids come to visit. They can always find something to do - doesn't take much to keep them entertained when you turn them loose in the house or yard.

Key West, Florida

I visited my brother in Key West back in April and fell in love with the place. There was so much to see and do. Loved the Sunset Celebration with all the street vendors and entertainment. My nephew took us up in his plane and the waters were something else. I plan on visiting again in October.

If it wasn't for my son and his family, I think I could move to Key West.
