Grandsitting 2.2 Monday.

Monday, Aug. 14

We eased into the day. Izzy was up first, she beat me, too! By 7 a.m. she was on the couch, under a blanket, dressed, and thinking. I put out the garbage, she declined to help! My foot was a bit sore, the wrap helped.

This helps!
Grampa went off to volunteer at the therapeutic riding farm. We began breakfast routine, me an' Izzy. parfait, toast, on the back deck. Our plan is to go canoeing this afternoon, after gramps brings the car home. We shall see.

We did a clean-up of what was their room, moving the kid's books down to the basement.

That led to much reading time.
Next, pool time. Josee decided we should write a book. We began, using some of the pool, outdoor toys. That fell apart when the 'wand' broke. They dried off, hung up suits and towels, and came indoors. I prepared lunch for Izzy, who was peckish. Josee wasn't quite ready.

        Other than when Jos accidentally smacked Izzy upside the head with her paddle, we've been doing well! Oh, and a 'blister', which was actually a splinter.
     "Gramma, I have a blister."
     "Where?"
     "On the bottom of my foot."
     "Oh, you mean a splinter!"
     "Yes, Gramma. You need to get some tweezers..."
     "Grampa's in the shower. That's where the tweezers are!"
"Oh. We'll wait." Iz is growing so fast into such a young girl!

     "Leaving nothing to chance," said Grampa, " just in case you didn't know (about slivers)!"
These are the magic wands. The pool was well-worth the $75! Another great Grampa purchase


Big canoe ride.



Izzy: What time is it?
Me: 2:47
Izzy: 13 minutes until our afternoon movie!

Annie found a mouse. Jos thought it was a fur ball! Jos made it a bed. This was before canoodling. We checked, after, and it was gone.

Movie: Tangled.
Pizza dinner
Grampa won Jeopardy. Izzy was on Gramma's team! Grampa really knows US history!
