We have had a wonderful weekend. Friday night CJ came to stay with us. Petra and I went to work a Chocolate fountain. It was in downtown Sacramento and we were lost for 40 minutes! Well before all the blond jokes start, they gave us the wrong address. But Ed had a night out with friends and so CJ stayed with Papa. When I got up Saturday morning there he was. He is so fun to hang out with. His first words were "Pancakes!" While we were doing the normal Saturday morning stuff he says to me "Grandma, thanks for taking care of me, I like it here!" I won the lottery!! or you would have thought, what joy that child brings to us.
Well, our day didn't stop there, Randi and Efrain were going out and asked us to come stay with the kids. Since my oven died I was going to bake cookies there. So we ended out the day with picking up a Pizza and going to play with the rest of our Grandchildren. They always act as though a rock star has come in the house when we arrive. They scream and run toward us with hugs and kisses. I will tell you we normally see them 3 to 4 times a week, it is always the same, they just love us no matter what!! Jenni and her Papa had to go take Allie to the dance and the boys and I watched Home Alone 2. They dance to the music in the movie and when I went in to make a batch of the cookie, Isiah followed me, he is so interested in cooking, he likes to eat but more than that he wants to know how things go together, yeah at age 4 he needs to know how come I was melting the butter and then put graham crackers with it. He is going to be a cook someday. Isaac wanted to sit with me and tell me all about the presents under the tree and what would happen to me if I touched any of them, especially the ones with Isaac's name on them. I was trying not to laugh because he was so serious, but he was so cute. He was telling me all this and then leaned on me and said, "Grandma, you my best friend" Another Lottery win!!
Jenni and Papa came back and Jenni preceded to tell me everything they did, exactly what Allie and her friends were doing. It cracked me up, she came in the house and had to go get her lipstick (her flavored chapstick) and put some on and then within a few minutes she had climbed in Papa's lap and curled up to watch the movie. She looks at me with her precious smile, so content in her world and says "I like when you and Papa come to my house"
I am sure that having extra money would be nice, but we sure won the lottery of Grand kids!

You are one lucky girl. I want to win the lottery. (sigh) Grandkids are the best I'm sure. At least you just made it seem so. I know my kids always got excited to see their grandparents too when they were little. I hope that little spark of fun of being with grandma and grandpa never ceases.
I told you that your grandkids were the cutest things alive!!
I love this post! Your grandkids are SO fun and absolutely GORGEOUS! They said the cutest things to you this weekend. How fun to have them all living so close to you! Blessings, blessings!
Being Grandma is the best, best, best.
