Sunday Morning

Well Saturday was another busy, busy day until early afternoon when all the grand kids headed for home. We had an enjoyable time as we entertained the 4 of them for their first ever sleepover. They did quite well despite 3 of them being wide awake until 10 PM or after. Nobody cried for their mom's and dad's so that was a success and they all got along great together except for a few minor "that's mine" or "I had that first" squabbles over toys; but that's common when you have 2, 3 year old boys playing with trucks and cars. For the most part they were in their own little worlds playing monster trucks and the girls having dinner parties with their dolls.

They slept in until 7:30 and then the fun began again as one boy needed a diaper change the other needed to be reminded constantly and put on the potty as he is in the final stages of training. Nancy fixed them eggs, sausage and toast as well as banana's and grapes. Amy and Tyler came around 9 ( for breakfast as well) and they brought a pot of stone ground grits and had  cooked them the old fashion way, wow were they ever good and along with eggs and sausage they held me until suppertime.

 After the cleanup we got the kids dressed and then headed out to watch the local POW WOW parade just a few minutes from the house. We took beach chairs and sat right along the roadway(which had been blocked off) with the kids. It was about an hour long parade of fire trucks, police cars, local high school bands, several church floats, local elected officials, monsters trucks, sports cars and some Army trucks as well as clowns. Most of those entries were giving out candy to the kids as well as stuffed toys. So each of our kiddo's came away with a toy as well as a bag of candy; yeow just what they needed to be energized. Maybe we should have eaten the candy!!

We got back to the house and of course they were all thirsty and hungry so Nancy made them sandwiches and then Bobby came to pickup Annsley and Gabe. Amy and Tyler were taking Ava and Sam to the carnival associated with Pow Wow so they got ready to leave as well. It was like a ghost town around here after all had left, so I vacuumed and Nancy cleaned up the kitchen. We put away toys, blankets and made up the beds and then we layed down and rested for an hour or so. She is still fighting the runny nose and sneezing. I almost finished the book STILL MISSING by Chevy Stevens and this author has you right on the edge of your seat. It's a good read and Carol mentioned she had also read the book.

Carol and Dan had invited us to their place for supper and we didn't have to bring a thing but ourselves. We had a sumptuous meal of barbecue ribs, salad and crusty bread and then strawberry custard pie for dessert, Yeow was that ever delicious. We stayed afterwards and played Phase 10, with Dan leading until the last hand when I snuck in with a win at the wire. It was going on 9 when we finished which actually was going on 10 with the time change being tonight so we headed home for the showers and then chilled until it was lights out.

Well Nancy seemed to do well through the night and is still in the sack as I write this post. We aren't sure if she will make it or not for church this morning, so it's a wait and see if the nose is still draining, LATER
