Dear Daughters,
One of my favorite things to do
as a grandmother is to
shock your sons/nephews/ and my grandsons
with out of the ordinary questions.
In the photo above I had just asked Mills if he wanted to hop up in the driver’s seat of this roofer’s truck
in our driveway.
He did- while trying not to smile.
I have also been known to turn to Harrison and say-
“Do you want to drive?”
(Don’t tell his parents.)
We did- together-
in the Love’s convenience store parking lot outside Three Rivers.
Other questions?
*I bought 3 kinds of Blue Bell- how about a bowl of all three?
and-
*Who wants to load the popcorn popper?
It is so much fun!
Love to you all-
Mom
You are one brave Grandmother ! Those are some loaded questions!:-D

ReplyDeleteMemories that they will NEVER forget:) Have a blessed Sunday dear Laura, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteThis post choked me up. You nailed it you know, Gramma. We didn't always take the time to do that stuff with our own kids. We do now.
ReplyDelete~Bliss~
You are a mess, Laura! You made me smile.
ReplyDeleteCoolest grandma ever!!
ReplyDeleteVery fun! That's what grandma's are for right? You asked about the velvet pumpkins. Simply cut a circle of velvet, do a straight stitch around the top, fill bottom with sand, beans or cat litter, top with foam ( like for pillows, the loose stuff, sorry, don't know what that's called) then pull the thread , to gather the top, the pleats will naturally happen. Tie it off, add a stem of sorts, twig or actual pumpkin stem. Glue it in then embellish as you like. Hope that's clear. Let me know if you have any questions. Ciao for now.
ReplyDeleteHilarious!
ReplyDeleteI have an older step-daughter and when her kids were here at 'spring break' this year...
They were asked one cool March morning...
"Who wants vanilla ice cream on top of their oatmeal? "
...it was unanimous. Hands up everywhere!
they also got 1 cup of coffee with breakfast...ssshhh!
(what?...their mom let's them drink soda 'til it's coming out their ears)
Their fine... Man are they hard workers after breakfast!
