A week with the Tots !!!!

I tend Mati and Kylee Everyday. So I get lots of bonding and Grandma time with them. This week I had the opportunity of having Isabella and Ruby, who live 300 miles away. Dear Daughter Kimmy, who also lives several hours away, also had a few days off work and brought dear James down. Poor little boy among so many girls. All my grandchildren are three years and under. It was quite the week. I did manage to follow them around with my camera on a couple of days.
We have a friend who walks her little dogs at the park everyday. The girls love her little "Westies", Bella wasn't so sure. "I'm more of a cat person."! At least by the end of the week Ruby and Bella didn't cry everytime our dog came in the room.

Dear daughter was in charge of making sure Ruby and James didn't run away at the park. "Ahhh mom, we were just going exploring over by the porta potties".

"Yummy, Lunch"

Mati taking "Westa" for a walk. "This way, This way!"

"I'm being such a good boy, anyone want to go play in the mud?"

"Ummmm, Snacks !"

Ruby and Bella check out the slide at the "Ugly" Park. We have a really nice park here in town. It has a big playground and tables and stuff. We like to go to the other park. It's smaller, the playground equipment is a smaller scale, and theres two baby swings. It's not ugly really, just has less trees and landscaping. If they fall off something, its not a very long drop.

"Okay Ruby, time for Lunch."

James can go up the steps all by himself.

Ruby was cute, She just wandered around, up and down, over and under, back and forth. She's really an easy going kid most of the time. I knew she wouldn't let me out of her sight, so I didn't have to worry about her going too far.

"Look Grandma, I'm riding on an airplane." Unfortunately Bella went home with a bruise on her chin. She got it trying to climb off the airplane. Getting a bump didn't keep her from getting right back on the airplane.

Ruby going down the slide all by herself !!

"Would somebody please push me ?"

"Look at me, I'm swinging!"

"Girls!"

"Drink this sippy cup, and call me in the morning."

"Grandma can we watch Yo Gabba, Gabba?"

"Is it time to go home yet?"

It was a good week, exhausting but good. I appreciate all the help from the rest of the family. We did some good bonding and changed a lot of wet and poopy pants. I could do this again, once in awhile. Its good for the cousins, good for grandpa, and once they're all really potty trained, it will be good for Grandma too.
