Yesterday I had my two youngest grandsons (from the ones that live the closest to me) for five hours. We started the day at the bright and early hour of 9 am. (
Yeah I know not really early for yall.) The two bundles of energy showed up at Nana's house with a gleam in their eyes. I could hear the mental questions of.. What are we going to do first?
Tell Nana stories.
Drag out all of our toys.
Find out what Nana has for food.
Well they were all firsts, all at once!
This Nana, although having been up since 7am, thought she was prepared. The kool-aid was made, even an alternative drink (for those moments when you get..I don't want kool-aid anymore!).
An activity was planned (seriously, what was I thinking). Well, that didn't last long! They were done in less than 20 minutes! Well at least I got some new art for my fridge!
Okay Nana, think! Turn on the Nick Jr.
Okay so far so good. BUT come on Nana, you can't let them sit in front of the tv all day. Not good enough! Think harder!
Interruption in the thinking process...
I'm hungry! Yeah ME TOO!
I want a banana!
Split banana. I didn't want a banana!
Not doing so hot Nana, only one kid happy.Crackers!
They always gobble up the crackers. 6 crackers a piece should hold them off for a while, RIGHT? WRONG!15 minutes later,
right in the middle of racing cars I want some more crackers!
Nana's thinking.. My goodness I still haven't eaten yet and they already want more! When the clock says 11 o'clock, then we can have some more.
Every five minutes...I think it might be on the 11. It's on the 11! How much loooongggggerrrrr!
6 more crackers a piece dished out. Happy for the moment.
Hello, Nana! You do realize you still have at least 3 more hours of entertainment to publish! Eureka, your most brilliant plan! Yes, a nature walk is perfect! It takes time and draws them away from the lure of boredom food.You want to go for a walk?
A resounding YES!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!Let the adventure begin!
First we discovered a very large trash can..Nana what is that called? A dumpster.
Then it was a tree..Nana what kind of tree is that? A palm tree.
Ohhh, looook at the little tiny sunflowers! Here Nana I picked this for you.
Nana!! Nana!! There are snakes everywhere! Grab a stick!
Nana!! Did you see that butterfly??
Nana!!! WHAT is THAT?? A donkey.
Nana, this is going to be a long walk.
Look at that hole! I wonder what lives in there?
Nana, is this dog friendly?
Look at the windmills!! Why are they different? Why is one going faster than the other?
Nana's little helper 
Nana! Look a duck! Why is it in a pen?
Every tree giving some shade was a good chance to rest.
Do you think he is tired?
Finally back at home!
After refueling with lunch and sticking our faces in the A/C, there was more fun to be had.
We played ball, fixed the porch and harassed the neighbors cat!
Where's MY kitty? That is MY kitty! Come here kitty and let me take you to my house! (
My house actually meant under the porch in the dogs pen)
WHAT A DAY!!!!
