Two Little Monkeys

We decided to go for a walk with the stroller in the morning; hoping to beat the rain.  On with the hoodies, grab the camera, pack the snacks, don't forget the water, unfold the stroller, load the boys and open the garage door.  Here comes the rain.  But since it was only a light rain and the boys were locked and loaded, I decided to make a run for it.  By the time we reached the end of the driveway, the rain was heavy.  Plan B was a quick trip around a couple of houses along the golf cart path and back to the garage.  By the time we returned and got into the house, I could tell my hair had started to take on a life of its own.  Nathan's eyes were staring at my hair and his mouth was gaping.  "Does my hair look a little different?" I asked.  He didn't have any words for me, just a nod.  A look in the mirror and I knew why.


Gramma continues to work on the boys sense of taste.  Obviously, they've learned their lessons well.  Bling is always in!  At least for those of us with lots of confidence.


 
 
Grampa's favorite desserts are pies.  Andrew is in total agreement and works on this aspect of his taste very seriously.


Auntie Becca is coming home from California and will want her bed back.  Better make use of it, while we can.  The lesson for the day is working on a steady beat, as we sing.


After enjoying our time in Auntie Becca's room, the two little monkeys disappeared, while I remade the bed.  A gripping fear seized me when I realized the house was VERY quiet.  There they are; alone in Grampa's office.  What are they up to?  They found the snack bags Gramma had prepared for the stroller walk, but there wasn't time to eat it.  CAUGHT in the act!



After Grampa finished working he told the boys he would take them for a walk. The boys squealed (literally) in delight and ran to put their hoodies on. They got out to the garage and asked, "Are we going to walk in the stroller?" Grampa told them, "No, we're going to go for a real walk." They ran to the wagon and asked, "Are we walking in the wagon?" "No, we're going for a real walk." And so they did.    All the way around the house.
