Hats off to you!

Gramma's Warlocks have cast their spell.

The boys came ready to work.  They were expecting a hot time at Gramma's, so they wore their firemen hats.

Cool Dudes!  And they know it.

 There's a lot of monkey business going on at Gramma's.  My brother, Jeffrey, had sock monkeys from the time he was born.  When they wore out, they'd make him another.  I made one for hiim by hand when he was having surgery in the hospital.  His old one had been stuffed with old nylons and the hole in the monkey's tummy looked very funny leaking hosiery.  He used to love to hold them by the tails and watch them spinning.  Thanks Katie, Kyle and Christian.  Your gift to the boys has touched my heart in many ways.  They love them and wore them while they took their naps.

Andrew walks to a different drummer.  He enjoys that his monkey's got his back.  You can tell he realizes he's wearing it backwards (he wears his fireman's hat that way, too) and often turns his back toward you, so you can be face to face with the monkey.  Mommies and Grammas are part monkey.  That's why they seem to have eyes in the back of their heads.

Ever wonder if a little bit of sugar is really a big deal?  I would think sugar would help us lose weight after watching its effect on the boys.

Nathan was checking me out from head to toe.  After some thought, he told me, "Gramma, you have long legs."  "Yes, I do, " I told him.  "They reach all the way to the floor."  He thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I have long legs, too."

Gramma has been lax in her dusting.  The cobwebs are getting very large.

It's time to go home and the boys try to make Gramma and Grampa feel loved by claiming they haven't had enough time to play.  Because we have a double staircase, Daddy has to work really hard to catch them.  I think Andrew has figured out that bedtime seems to come quickly after Twins' Friday.  His brother joins in the fun just to give Daddy a hard time.
