The Little Boys

This week I took care of our youngest grandchildren, Ian and Jared, during the day – for three days – while their mom was on a bus trip. 

They went home with their dad when he was finished at work – and came back in the morning.

Both were so good and enjoyed playing while I spent most of the time adding several hundred names to the TFC database and designing a brochure and flyer.

I did most of my office work on our wireless laptop, because the boys have more to do if I am working where they have access to the children’s room.

They have gotten so good at racing cars and playing tennis on the Nintendo GameCube.

Snack time was always a favorite.

Since neither take afternoon naps on a regular basis, I encouraged a rest time by having them relax with a movie.  They usually chose Seventh Brother – a cute cartoon from Family Feature Films – about a rabbit family who adopted a lost dog. 

They wanted to be where I was, so I brought a small TV to the living room.

Another favorite was playing with cars and trucks.

 Their mom had a well-deserved birthday vacation, and I am now back to normal, quiet days – without little boys and their toys.

But I have a feeling they’ll be back.
