I've had out of state company for several days now. Everyone left about 9:00 AM this morning and now it's back to just Natty and I here during the day. I'd like to share some of the happenings over the past few days.
First, I learned that children don't expect Grandma to be "practical" on Valentine's Day. I gave each of the granddaughters Valentines and clothes. Erin let me know that she didn't want clothes for Valentine's Day. When asked, she told me that what she wanted was a big RED valentine. (her valentine was pink) and she didn't want clothes! Next year this grandma will try to remember that and get her a RED Valentine with toys or candy.
Avery is so cute with her crawling and she is almost always so happy and ready to give a big grin with her two new teeth. She also has beautiful big eyes. I found that she has a tickle spot on her neck. She is still too young to care about valentines; therefore, her pink valentine and clothes were alright with her.
I'm looking forward to having Erin and Avery visit for a few days next week. I'm hoping that we have some warmer weather so that we can do some fun outside activities. Like a trip to the playground.
Great Grandma (almost 89 years old) seemed to enjoy the little ones. She even babysat for me one day so that I could fulfil my duties at the church. Great Grandma didn't like our COLD weather. She said that she didn't think she has ever been in such COLD temperatures. (She's from Southwestern Oklahoma)
We all went out to eat last night at Jumpin Catfish, in Olathe. We were seated next to the fireplace, which Great Grandma enjoyed. We had a very enjoyable outing and great food. Jumpin Catfish is one of my favorite restaurants.
Well, I have dishes to do and extra bedding to wash. It's always fun to have company, but I'm ready to be back to my normal routine!

Well.. by next year Erin will probably want a PINK valentine. You can't outsmart kids. :)
Sounds fun! Glad you had fun with your family visiting. I'll try to give you a shout tonight or tomorrow on my new phone! :) Finally... we can talk normally!
Love you,
Krista
I echo Krista ... you can't outsmart kids ...
Erin talked to her other grandma on Valentine's Day, and was perfectly elated when telling of her pink Valentine shirt, even squealing over the butterflies and sparkles. She hasn however claimed the little purple puppy that was in Avery's sack :) We won't tell Avery, and will just let her keep on grinning her near-toothy grin!
