A Weekend with the Great-grand kids

Friday 30 November 2018

     We were up and out of the Moho about 9:30.  We stopped at the office to get a 100lb. propane tank delivered, off to the CU to do some banking, then to Mel's to drop off our bikes, bike rack and a box or 2 of things we had for her, a quick stop at Morgan and Shane's to drop off the Adirondack Chairs he got, then back to the Moho to drop of Rudy.  We put Rudy in his kennel then headed over to  Gilligan's for a nice, relaxing lunch (very enjoyable).  OK enough relaxing, Brad dropped me of at the Moho to get Rudy and start packing, while he ran to Etnoyer's for a longer hose for the propane tank. He got back and we finished packing, loaded up the truck and headed over to Mel's, they plan on leaving around 5:00 PM.  We stopped for some wine and pretzels, got to Mel's about 4:00, unloaded and started the waiting game.  Pere didn't get  home until 6:00, so it was 6:30 until they got on the road, by then we had all the kids fed and it was time to watch a little TV, then get the kids off to bed about 8:00.  Brad and I lasted until about 10:00 but knew we had a long day tomorrow.

     I was up a 6:30 and the kids all followed shortly thereafter.  Diane made cinnamon rolls for breakfast.  I choked down a few and headed out to take the truck in to get fixed.  Bev picked pick me

Glad the game room is

in the basement. 

up and brought me directly home.  Diane warned us not to stop anywhere for anything for any reason as she was tending to the four kids.  The truck was done around 3pm.  Bev pick me up again and we were back by 4pm. The weather was warm but rained all afternoon so we had to stay inside.  We had grilled cheese and soup for dinner.  And by 8 the kids were off to bed again.  Now they were pretty good other than the occasional  picking, fighting and arguing.  More fun to be had by one and all tomorrow.

     Hurrah,  having served our time we should be set free around 7pm.  Diane made pancakes and bacon for breakfast so good.  We were all a little more relaxed today even Rudy came out from under the table and laid on the sofa with Cianna.  It is warm today in the mid 50's but cloudy and everything is still wet from the rain yesterday.  Karter had a marshmallow sandwich for lunch. Diane folded the sandwich in half. Karter unfolded it the best he could and ate it from the center out.  Words will not do it justice but I will try.  He had white sticky marshmallow  all around his mouth with two small streaks going toward each ear, a little like the joker on batman.  After cleaning the kids up it was nap time and we started packing up the truck.  Bake ham, buttered noodles and green beans for supper as we wait very very patiently for the parents to return.
