Oh for the LOVE of Grandkids!

here is our new hair cut boy.............he spends the night tonite.... he is so handsome, but where did my little boy go?????? .......he DOES, however, have whitewalls , as his Pap Pap would call it.........meaning the parts on his head that have not been sun tanned......i am sure that will promptly be taken care of!

on Wed. nite Peter and fam came over for a late dinner........and of course we had our normal hilarity with the likes of Addie and Hopie.........and also did yet another re-watch of Cheaper by the Dozen......fast forwarding to our favorite parts.......one of which is the hamburger soaked underwear!!!....and the funeral for Beans the frog......."he hipped and he hopped.....he was a HOPPER"!.........we actually get a real hootin laugh out of that one..........i know, ya gotta be there......
anyway..........so here are pics of the two monkeys........playing dress up and playing with Pap Pap.........i have a new name for Hope........Hopie Savannah of Hixsonbrook Farms........huh?.....whadda ya think????



okay........so Ava spent the night this week.......unfortunately we had a very small window to "do our thing".......of course that usually involves reading books, the playground, a craft project, playing with our "bus".....getting the miniature plastic 1950 toys out of the bag......and various other Nee Nee slash Ava endeavors......but because i had to go to work (blah) we had to condense......so one of the items we cut out, ( actually we cut quite a few out).......but ONE item was BATHTIME!.......even tho all the kids seem to LOVE bathtime at my house........we let go of it this time....i had to bribe tho!......... i figured, as long as we were letting go of the bath......we might as well forget about all things clean and orderly.......so we decided NOT to comb Ava's hair as well!..........here is the picture to prove it........so when her mother came to pick her up......i delivered a happy, but somewhat dirty, disheveled little person to her!!!! it's a FIRST for me!!! HONEST!........but my she is cute anyway, huh???
