Tooth Fairy anyone?


While talking with some of the grandkids last week, I learned there were two visits from the tooth fairy. Seth lost one of his canine teeth, and Eli lost one of his premolars..
Question for the day, How many teeth are your child missing, and what's the going rate for a tooth?

Orange hair



So, Sto is sporting a new look. Reports have it that his mom let him and Eli color their hair for what was supposed to be blonde. It ended up as Eli said "McDonald orange". Eli was impressed with his. It made him the center of attention is school. The kids called him M&M.

Maybe Kat will post some pictures on her blog. I can't wait!

Happy Birthday Kelli

Jack's Party




This afternoon we had Jack's party. We ordered 24 cupcakes, placed tightly together with mounds of vanilla frosting which made it look like a birthday cake. We had planned on it being a surprise for Jack and Sherrill, but yesterday Sherrill picked up the phone to call to order a cake. I had to ruin the surprise and tell him cupcakes were coming. Mandy bought him a bag of Pupperoni, his favorite treat.
Happy Birthday Jack Dog. Today is YOUR day, but I am still the BOSS!

Happy Birthday Jack!

Jack turns 8 years old today. Sherrill is so proud of his baby. Me and Jack continue to have our "issues". We get along fine unless Sherrill is in the house, then all heck breaks loose. We will be having cupcakes and ice cream later today, so stop by for a visit.
Happy birthday Jack Dog.

Meet Me at the Line!


My dear little "neighbors" AKA grandkids are always getting in trouble for leaving their yard and running to Grandma's house. Carter is the most experienced, slipping out, finding his Papa, and getting his Pepsi and candy. I TRY NOT to reinforce this "running away" behavior, but it's hard to do. EVERYONE should be allowed to run away to Grandma's!

Yesterday I had them to meet me at"the property line" and I showed them where their yard stopped, and ours began. I told them I would get Papa to paint a straight line so they could remember. A few hours later Sherrill came in and said the kids were waiting for me at "the property line". So, I go out with tootsie rolls in hand to visit with my "little darlings" and to reinforce them for stopping at "THE LINE".

Sherrill has to get some bright orange paint to paint the line, although Lauren did ask for purple. I guess I'll get some walkie talkies so they can let me know when to meet them at "The Line".

Pretty Baby




Just in case you forgot what my pretty baby looks like. All Smiles!!

Are you prepared?

I was wondering if any of my family would be prepared if something happened. (like in Japan) Can your family survive with no power? Can you pick up and leave your home in the event of a Forest Fire? Mom and Dad that would be a backyard fire that you forgot to put out. Let me know what you think and tell me what you have done to help your family prepare for the worst!

Please stand by......Spring Cleaning in Progress

What's this?


Meghan walks towards me with a paper towel in her hand holding something.
"What's this," she said.
"Pig meat" I replied.
"What's pig meat doing in my beenie weenies?"
"It's like bacon, it makes them taste better." (me)
Meghan: "You keep it. I don't want PIG MEAT in MY beenie weenies".

I didn't KNOW you had to remove the meat from beenie weenies. Go figure!

Are you afraid?

Me: Meghan, go on the front porch and bring me that flower pot.
Meghan: Grandma, are you afraid?
Me: Afraid of what?
Meghan: Afraid of the steps.
Me: No Meghan, I'm not afraid of the steps. Why would you think that?
Meghan: Grandma, I know you HATE going down those steps!
Me: Girl, go get me that flower pot (we had to plant Seth's cabbage plant).
