Summer Has Begun!

I had six of the grandkids on Monday from 11:00 to 5:00(ish). Mindi came and got her three around 4:30, then I took Gina's kids home. Kayla had softball in the evening, and I wanted to see her game, so instead of Gina driving out, I took all of them home. During the day, we did everything from eat, nap, make puppets, have puppet shows collected rocks and made "rock creatures" to sing and read stories. I told Gina and Mindi I want to have the kids one day a week during the summer. The first one taught me a lot.....first and foremost: without Kayla and Jazmyn, I never would have pulled it off! Naps would have been longer, and I would have had one!! Here are some pictures of them while here. (I messed up the location of the pictures on the page....too tired to go back and figure it out...so all the captions are first! SORRY!) Painting rocks After the game Watching Rocks dry! Rayna LOVED painting! Kayla was VERY creative Puppet Show ready, set.... Puppet Show audience Puppet Show in progress Kayla's dog puppet Levi and Nate with Nate's favorite pillowcase After the game Then today I had Solen (we also got to watch him on Sunday afternoon!) Can't forget Adalia!! Here she is being her usual sweet self, watching all the activity around her - and believe me, there is plenty of that!
