Grandkids - What a Blessing

Well it is Monday morning and I am here at work and happy. Jim and I had a great weeknd with some of our grandkids: A 7 year old grand daughter, a 6 year old grand daughter, a 6 year old grand son and a 3 year old grandson. We had a sleep over with them on Saturday night. We picked them up at noon and thus started 24 hours of fun with them. We took them to see the movie Santa Claus 3 (a great movie by the way) and then we went out to eat at Wendys, we played games, had cookies and milk (at least twice) but Mom's.... we had apples for treats too!!! They were so good and made our hearts so warm and gave us so many great giggles and smiles. Grandpa Jim knows (by being told about 25 or 30 times) that JoeMan wants an orange light saber for Christmas!!!! Too cute. While the older 3 were having fun playing in the basement, JoeMan sat on Grandpa's lap and showed him exactly what he wanted for Christmas in the toy catalog. It was toooo cute. Phrases like "A girl has to do what a girl has to do" "Jesus lives in my heart and he helps me breathe" "I really like M&M's" "Can we have another sleepover tonight" "I love you" (accompanied by a hug), and with teary eyes saying "I dont want to go home", made this Mamma and Grandpa's hearts sing sing sing....... We are truely blessed with 11 wonderful grandchildren. Thank you God

Blessings
Sandi
