Unforgettable Childhood

Yesterday my husband’s dad made a quick trip out to see the girls play softball. The weather was not the greatest, but he did get to see them play a little bit. After the games he took everybody out for ice cream. Bonus.

Today he went outside and played catch with the girls. The girls were so excited to have him here. With their grandparents in different towns 3 1/2 hours away they miss out on a lot of the day to day activities they are involved in.

I am linking to Tuesdays Unwrapped over at Chatting at the Sky. This surprise visit from Grandpa was a wonderful gift for all of us.

It amazes me that my two older girls are 8 & 6 and already I am not cool to be around. Their friends trump me every time. . . So yesterday they both had opportunities to spend the day with their friends. They took the opportunity and were gone before I could object.

I love it that they both have so many friends. . .but we always have one problem. The little sister that gets left behind. She is 3 and she does not like it when her sissies leave her. She starts to ask five minutes after they leave, “Can we go pick my sissies up now?” It breaks my heart. She was stuck with me all day so I tried to entertain her the best I could while still trying to get done a few things around the house.

I have to share a few pictures from our day.

At least she wasn’t shooting me with the water. She told me she was drawing pictures on the sidewalk.

Isn’t it amazing that you try and try to teach them how to pedal and they don’t get it. Then one day they just get on the bike and ride it????

After all of our fun she wanted a freeze pop. I wondered why she asked me for her Dora gloves. . .
