Lazy days of February

Well Feb is almost gone and I have not put any messages on my blog. We have had grands every weekend and this one is no exception. Patrick, Kelly, Adam and Mary are coming tonight because they do not have school tomorrow. I always look forward to their arrival. Jim usually picks them up after work and I await their smiling faces. Adam and Mary are changing daily. Adam keeps his kindergarten class amused. He has a sense of humor unlike any of the other children. Reminds me of Beth when she lived at home. You could expect the unexpected. Adam's teacher wishes she could use duct tape for his chair. I guess when you are five and excited it is hard to sit still. Also he is so engrossed with what is going on around him he only half listens to instructions. His teacher got wise and told the children if your hand is up to repeat instructions, NO SNACK. Adams hand has not gone up for awhile. Mary is so sweet. ( unless she is mad) Her best friend Lilly has been sick so she hasn't gone to preschool. (Lilly's mom teaches) Beth told me today that she has asked 25 times when she is going to Nana's. 2:30 isn't soon enough. Last week when the children came, Adam ASKED for a buzz, usually Papa has to bribe him, must have a girlfriend in his class. He wanted a bath but when we checked his backpack, he only brought essentials, blanket and pillow. He put back on his dirty clothes. Mary didn't fare much better, she brought her pj's and potty seat. At least I had clean clothes here for her. Kelly is trying to learn to crochet. This is a SLOW process for a child who wants instant results. I know she will bring it back less than it was last week. fortunately (or not) we have cable and the Malms do not, so she catches up on her programs on the disney channel. Oh Nana please do not get rid of cable.....Patrick is coming this weekend. He loves my computer so I will not be on the keyboard anytime soon. At least we have some entertainment for them. I knew a time would come when the older ones would not think my house was so exciting. Jon has almost severed the overnight experiences and Megan is on the fast track. I sure am glad Beth has 7 children. I hate to think I was over the hill to all of them. Chris's girls have been too busy to come over too. They haven't seen their mom since christmas, so don't know quite what is happening. They are beautiful children and really enjoy spending the night here, especially when the cousins come. I will update as I get information.
