After Oma's birthday dinner ... we went back to the house ...
to sit back and relax ...
James was so excited ... he had an experiment he wanted to show us ...
He had put an egg in vinegar for a couple days ...
then wanted us to see what was inside the egg ... with a soft shell ...
the only part left was the outer membrane ... inside it was still the raw egg ...
He had told me it was going to be messy ...
so I was prepared putting a cookie sheet underneath his hands ...
The next day ... the guys went outside to site in a rifle ...
and the kids helped Grandpa drive "Old Blue" ... out into the field ...
Ella and I had some "Girl Time" with the paper doll cut-outs ...
that I received from my friend Dagmar ...
I love that she shares these little crafting ideas ... !!!
Ella loved playing with the paper dolls ...
dressed them up and took all the pictures herself ...
Grandma did help with cutting out some of the smaller items on the sheet ...
Grateful to have them on file so that I can print out more at any time ... !!!
The guys came in from outside ...
and while they waited for lunch to be served ...
the boys wanted to whoop Grandpa's butt at Foosball ... !!!
After lunch ... Craig started to climb up on the logs ...
he was able to pull himself up and wrap his legs around it ...
Then ... of course ... daddy had to come along and show him how it was done ...
In Nathan's younger days ... he would pull himself around and sit on top of the logs ...
This used to be a contest with all the guys ...
when they came out for a visit ...
Before it was time to head back to Alberta ...
the kids wanted to go in the hot tub ...
Craig at one point was getting to warm and needed to cool off ...
and since the snow had disappeared from the ground ...
he decided that hugging the snowman would cool him off ...
After that they all went into the pool and quickly cooled off ...
sliding around on the ice ... than hopping back in the hot tub ...
to warm again ... !!!
Crazy Kids ... !!!
Your sweet post just made me smile. The love your grandkids have for you and Mike, the fun they have being with you. Love that Ella enjoyed the cut out dolls, Can't wait until Claire is old enough to do the same with me.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the boys had as much fun as their Dad did as a kid!
