Friday: I am super behind posting on this very unknown, insignificant photoblog of mine--well, it's very significant for ME, but not for anyone else. It's been an eventful few days, not many photos taken, too much "checking in" on the "news" coverage of the 2024 Presidential election, etc. Oh! And also my printer has broken down, Jesse declared it officially "DEAD" and I had to research, purchase, and have Jesse install a new one (which I haven't yet learned to use--but that's my goal for today).
BUT I have finally uploaded pictures from Friday's time with the kids.
Cal is faster than lightning to dump various bins out on the playroom floor ... I try to limit him to two bins at a time because otherwise, there is no walking or playing room to be found with all the toys everywhere.
We went from cars to space ships and a bunch of miscellaneous toys to ...
... a more sedentary activity like PlayDoh. Yes! Sitting at a table molding soft PlayDoh is much easier than being up and down on the hard floor.
Young Cal is completely obsessed with making PlayDoh monsters and having them fight to the finish--which usually means our monsters die in a big heap of ... nothingness. But this is very pleasing to this little guy.
We watched three "short" movies (4 minutes each) of the Minions ... but Cal kept asking for a "longer"movie. Instead, we roughed around on my chair with Cal spinning and jumping and cracking up ...
This went on for much longer than I had contemplated ...
But finally it was time to drive back to Cal's house and get the little kids from their bus. They were happy to see us!
These after-school kiddos like to unwind in their basement watching various "shows." I think they are watching "Dino Dex" and found it very interesting. All of these kiddos love dinosaurs.
Look at Aidan inside the Thomas the Train tent!
"Dino Dex" was quite captivating evidently. Everyone just seemed to need to relax a little bit. I hope we didn't watch too many episodes. I was in need of a few minutes to put my feet up as well.
I'm glad these kiddos have a nice playroom to rough around in. They have a great yard, too; but it was a bit chilly outside this afternoon.
Beautiful children--your grandma loves you!
