Some of us PLAY and some of us WORK

Last weekend the kids came to visit.
What do little boys like to do?
They like to play, don't they?
Age four is a fun age.
An age to learn a brand new trick.
Do you remember the first time you
Flung a Frisbee?

I was a teenager but this boy
is starting early.
Ready?
SET.....GO!
 Whoo Hoooo!
I DID IT,  NANA!!!!
Meanwhile, while Big Brother E is playing
Charles In Charge is sweeping....
AND mopping,
Listen up here, buddy.
Look at Nana!
You MISSED a spot!
HEY-
Where are you going?
Guess I'll have to sweep my own drive
from now on.

  5. Shhhhhhhhhh, don't tell him he missed a spot, just wait until he is through, and clean that spot yourself. He might have gone back and got it, now you'll never know.

  7. Such beautiful boys. I had 2 daughters so am finding the grandson is much more a bundle of energy. Looks like you had a great day with the boys!

  8. LOL... So cute! It's fun to see how different each child's personality is, isn't it. I think I like that little worker. There is work to be done at my house - could you please send him my way?

  10. They are too cute, Diana! It's always fun to watch a child learn to do something for the first time. The excitement and pride they feel in something we may find so simple is heart warming.

  12. What gorgeous children. I do think its a bit much you making them do housework when they come to visit. After all their generous hard work ....what do you do? Find fault. I think I'd better have a word with youngster and tell him what grandmothers are supposed to do with their beautiful grandchildren.....ie...hugs and play!! Joan

  15. You have such sweet grandchildren, Diana! I love the landscaping around your house. At the moment, all my blinds and windows are closed. There is drilling going around my balcony and across the street, they are drilling through cement to put in pipelines. On my building, the are breaking the cement balconies to install new ones. Very noisy! I am wearing ear muffs. That's life, I guess!

    She loves washing dishes, cooking and watering the garden. :))

  18. Those are the cutest little boys! I was/am athletically challenged LOL but I could play Frisbee with the best of them. Although I did get clocked in the head pretty often. The little one could stop by my house, I need some mopping done.

  19. Alright now.....do I need to remind you about the child labor laws in this country? LOL! They are so adorable. I know you must love spending time with them.

  29. These photo are so much fun. I had to laugh at his rubber boots. My daughter and granddaughters where here last week. The seven year old was wearing sandals, but our five year old was wearing rubber boots. The temperature was in the high 90's the whole time they were here, but she loves her boots :)

  30. He's so proud of that first throw! Thankfully the baby has taken over the chores so the big boys can play. Are the girls inside scrubbing floors? Oops, I forgot they have full time jobs. lol

  37. wouldn't it be great if they thought sweeping and dusting were 'fun' when they grow up! Your little frisbee boy has perfect form...I don't think I've ever thrown one the proper way or in the right direction. gah.

  39. What lovely little boys, appreciate the time, it goes so fast!

  40. One thing I like about you is that you know how to laugh with these kids, and how to cherish their messiness, their loudness, their childish behavior. NOT every grandparent is like that. {Trust me.} You don't take things too seriously, and your children and grandchildren are probably grateful for that. :)

    XOXO,
    Meredith

  45. Diana,
    I remember when my son was that age. Boys are the funniest little people. They surprise us at least once a day. Yes, I remember the Frisbee! I think I was in grade school when I threw one of them. Your grandkids are sweet, Diana.

    Love,
    ~Sheri
