Here are some pictures of the grandkids this week. Sarah and Cody, Luke and Charlotte came down form Nebraska for a short visit. It was good to have the kids back in the house. Luke and Charlotte went to the toy box and found the toys they had left behind when they moved. They acted like they had been here only yesterday.
Johnny, Tracy and John Pearson came down with a bug and had to stay home from work and school on Friday. Emily had had it last week so she stayed with us. Emily, Luke and Charlotte had a really good time playing together. Emily mothers the little ones. She likes to help them get dressed and shampoo their hair when they take their baths. This works out great for me. I hate kneeling and leaning over in the tub to try wrestle them down to get them bathed.
When I put them to bed, I had them lay crossed ways in the bed so they would have more room. This brought back memories of when I was a child and staying at a relatives and sleeping maybe five or six in a bed, usually three at the head of the bed and two at the foot. It was hard to find a comfortable spot without having someone's feet or butt in your face.
I had to snap the picture of John kissing the kids goodnight. He is the perfect grandaddy. He has much more patience than I do. He will play games like CLUE, MONOPLY AND JOHN PEARSON RUMMY with them for hours. I guess as long as I cook for them when they are here I can skimp on the playing stuff.
This morning I took the picture of the the three of them. Luke and Charlotte had both had a bloody nose. Charlotte had fallen out of a chair the night before and burst her lip and hit her nose, so she went to bed with a bloody nose and Luke just got one during the night. With all the feet and elbows and the way they had all rolled during the night I am not suprised. Could have been a foot, could have been a knee, could have been an elbow or maybe someone's head. You know all the kids have giant bowling ball heads. Should have slept in a helmet on
