Everything old is new again!! Yesterday Chuck and I were cleaning the attic (yikes!) and went way back to find some of our kids' old toys to bring out for the grandkids. Toys recycled 30 years later! Exciting! I scrubbed them up, and looked forward to today when Gus and Louise were coming to spend the day. Jenn had found an all day conference about a small farm and sheep cheesemaking that she was anxious to attend. By making arrangements for Carl's pickup from pre-school, and an afternoon with his friend, I was able to take the other two and Jenn had a wonderful day to herself!! And what a super day we three had!! Gus was so excited to play with the cash register (of course it is not computerized!) and Louise loved the old dolls that used to belong to Jenn. I was so happy they all cleaned up so well...and that the kids loved them.
Gus also found Krista's dollhouse and the box of furniture we had located...and decided it was fun too!! I'm afraid that 2 is still a little young for those small parts, but he certainly enjoyed himself for quite awhile!
My parents came by for lunch and to see the little ones. How pleasant to have Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa enjoying these little people. I really think my parents have seen my grandchildren more than they did our kids growing up...now that they live nearby.
Jenn came back at about 4:00, bringing Carl with her. We had time to enjoy some tea, and talk about her conference. I'm so happy she had the opportunity to get away, learn something new, have space from her kids, think about the future....and I love to hear it all!! Hug/Kiss!! Hug/Kiss!! Chaos time for leaving! Love those kids!!
