Back to Posting

Ok, I know I quit posting but between all the things I have to do it seems to be a problem. I'll try to just copy my own journal although this may be a bit boring.

2/25/09 – Tuesday. Margaret kept the kids. They read several books. Deann looked through her High Lights book. They played HiHo CherryO. Deann watched Hanzel and Gretel (the scary one) while I worked. Janie & Emil came about 4:00. Deann showed Janie her map and could point out where we live, where Janie lives and where Grandma Suzi and Papa Mike live. We went out to the greenhouse and while Grandaddy worked on the fan, the kids all planted their own pots of seeds. They filled their pots with dirt and then planted cucumbers, squash, eggplant, tomatoes, etc. The boys just liked playing in the dirt. We labeled each child’s tray and then Deann watered them. She said she thought she could see them growing. The kids played a little Candy Land with Janie and then HiHo CherryO.

After the boys bath, they were both hollering “me first, me first” about getting dressed. I said, “I know who gets to go first, the mouse” and then pretended to dry and dress a little mouse. The boys watched this intently and then Kevin kept looking where he thought the mouse should be and then laughed and said “you dried the mouse.” They love to pretend at this age. The boys watched Barney while Deann was taking a bath. Tonight Deann told me a story about a bride and the minister falling in the water that Margaret had told her. She said that we needed one of those things that Margaret had that told you about stuff that happened. I asked her what that was and she said a TV. She said we needed a TV like Margaret’s.
