Ally and Maddy seemed so glad to see me I almost cried. I told them we were going to make secret cookies as soon as Jim and Chrissy left. They just kept hanging around until we finally told them they better get the heck going because as they were going to be late. As soon as the back door closed, we kicked into action. We made a mess and had a great time doing it.
It was just what I needed, just when I needed it, and these are the moments burned into my big ol heart.
Jim and Chrissy redid their poor dilapidated cabinets when I had the girls overnight a couple weekends ago. I guess it started out with Chrissy and Amanda (cousin in law?) painting the upper cabinets. Kevin, Chrissy's cousin and Amanda's hubbby and childhood friend of Ben and Jim', said they had some cabinets in their garage not being used. So that turned into a monstrous project of them tearing out the whole lower cabinet unit, new plumbing and electricity, and overall a great big stressful, headachey time on Signal Drive. Chrissy did not think they would make it. But it turned out beautiful! I am so proud of them.
Not much else going on here. Feeling pretty good, sleeping crazy hours, working on little quilts.
Don't get much better than that.
What a good day!!! I plan on going to see my grandbabies today, think I'll take them a big box of donuts!
ReplyDeleteGrandma bringing a big ol' box of donuts. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I am so damn jealous. I want some grandkids. Probably too late now.
ReplyDeleteYou know I am very generous about sharing mine. They love you too!
ReplyDeleteI think grandkids could be rented or your could be a Big Sister. You might have to be a Big Grandma, though. You should check into it - really. I bet there are young families on base who are so so so so far away from Grandma, Nana, Nanny, Grams.... they would love you!
