We had 4 of the grandchildren spend the night with us Friday night: Ella, Ethan, Brody and Katie. We have not had Katie spend the night in a long time! It was beautiful Friday night, and we spent alot of time outdoors. Jerome showed the kids the martin gourds and dipper gourds, apple trees, peas, tomatoes in the garden..............they were all impressed.
Brody & Ethan played golf on the sod farm and just ran around and chased each other. Ethan is a really good golfer. Brody hits left handed!
Sophie came over about 8:30 Saturday morning and joined in the fun. Next time we must let her spend the night too.
Bryleigh and Erica came up later Saturday afternoon - Tommy was to have a Oxford football pre-season game but it was cancelled on account of all the rain from Hurricane Faye. Brian & Hope were cleaning out their garage getting ready for a yard sale next Saturday and Clay & Melanie were getting a new room ready for Sophie.....Brian and Hope brought Sophie the twin bed that Katie & Ella had used. Alas, we said our goodbyes and Jerome and I collapsed about 8:00 p.m.
Speaking of rain.......all morning we rode bikes and big wheels and every riding toy we had in the garage until Jerome finished working in the garden. He went in to take a shower and before we could load up and head for Lakeside Park, the rain came. It was not heavy though, and the grandchildren wanted to continue riding their bikes in and out of the sprinkles and under the carport.
Then we started painting the carport floor (with water, of course). Then we moved on to watercolor paints on paper. We even "painted" hop scotch on the floor - Katie is really good at that. Brody and Ethan played pirates, Indiana Jones, and Ella and Sophie dressed up in all the princess clothes and high heeled shoes.....so cute.
Katie was getting over bronchitus, so she would "rest" by watching the Disney channel & Hannah Montana, etc. She helped Jerome shell peas and really enjoyed it! Then she played games on the computer, thanks to Heth saving appropriate games to our "favorites".
What a wonderful day it was !!
