feeling may

 Yesterday this guy came by himself for a couple hours.    He cried when his mom left.

His cousin p.j. came over to pat him and climbed up too.  After a minute she asked, "Where did his mommy go?

I said to a class.   She told the baby, "My mommy went to work."    Yes, she did.

 Later there was lunch on the patio.

And here's today--I washed all the winter grime and mess off the patio, and it felt great.   Even we got the broom involved where a winter's worth of dryer lint was caked on the corner of the back steps and on the siding.

 After that we did some sewing.    Julia found a Barbie bunk bed video yesterday on YouTube that could be made from an empty photo box.  Well, we had one of those, so she got to work decorating it and then she picked out fabric scraps to sew pillows and mattresses and blankets.

Time to get some work done.    love you kids, Mom, aka Grandma
