SHHH, IT'S QUIET.....

Saturday afternoon and my house is back to being quiet! LOL Had my grandchildren from yesterday afternoon until just about an hour ago so their parents, my son and d.i.l., could enjoy their 10th anniversary..alone! :-)

We had fun creating a special evening for them... a gift certificate to Outback for dinner (where you can't afford to eat with young kids...LOL), to the movies (they saw Ladder 49), and then a goody bag for the hotel with Martinelli's, special glasses, bubble bath, a candle and some munchies. They actually looked relaxed when we met them for lunch today.

We also planned fun stuff to do with the kids.. saw Shark Tale, went to McD's (ick..LOL) and then off to the pumpkin patch to get them each their own pumpkin that they carved with their aunties. Bedtime was a little difficult as they aren't used to staying overnight anywhere and they both have allergies to our cat. :( Sleep eventually claimed them *whew* and about 6 am I had company in bed...LOL...grandson had a "terrible" dream. He was back to sleep in 30 seconds... took me an hour..haha ...grandma is not used to sharing her bed..LOL Today we went and found Halloween costumes.. Jared will be a superhero, of course, Spiderman and Halyn will be just like her grandma... *innocent grin* an ANGEL! 0:-)

What a fabulous 24 hours.... the gift being at the end when Jared did not want to go home but stay with grandma .. he sat in my car hanging on to his carseat for dear life. A big hug, putting on his Spiderman gloves, and a promise to come visit soon got him into mom and dad's car and heading home...the gloved hand out the window waving goodbye til he couldn't see us.

I think I will enjoy my quiet and the new memories created this weekend. Hope you all have a special weekend too!

hugzzzz....
