Grandsitting 2.1: Sunday

Sunday, Aug. 13, Day 2

Momma and Papa went home prior to lunch.
Josephine was reading in the basement.  Josee is a voracious reader. That's something she got from me! Ok, honestly, her momma taught herself to read at age 3, through Sesame Street. Seriously!

Isabelle thought she would go for a swim. We had fun!
Next, ironically enough, they played school in the basement. Gramma a retired teacher!


Dorah decided to go walkies with me. The girls were avoiding the horrid mosquitoes! We have a tree fallen over in the meadow. Dorah continues to show signs of being relatively normal. I was fetching CD cards from the trailcams. (There was a Coyote! )


You'll notice I managed to do my laundry, it was hanging on the line. Izzy had 3 swims, Jos had 2.
Grampa went into town for more groceries. he phoned, asked if we wanted to go see the raptors at the Garlic Festival in Perth, but the girls were perfectly happy in the pool.
He managed two more errands, including a 'close eyes' for dessert: a cupcake each.

In the afternoon, as is tradition, we watched a video: Tomorrowland! I heartily recommend it. I'd suggested it to the kids awhile ago. Grampa and I saw it and liked it.

Bedtime, they read for awhile.
I went down about 9 p.m., to check on them, Grampa had headed to bed to read, too.
Izzy was asleep. Jos said to me, "She's so cute when she sleeps!" It's a touching moment.

Izzy has a can of beans and a bed buddy. The bed buddy lights up.
She wanted someone to sleep with her. Momma said "You have your sleep toy. "
"No, like a human being."
 "Oh, a human bean?" Momma fetched her a can of beans.
