monday

There's a picture Jay took at 6 am, all the sleepover that followed the birthday party.  

The pictures all loaded in reverse order, but it doesn't even matter. The afternoon ended with cupcakes, which is always a good thing.

All these cousins spent the day to help babysit and play and they are champions, so patient.  We took them to the park, but first had to wrassle that giant stroller up from the basement.  We did it though.

The patio was plenty hot.  The coolers were still full of drinks from the party, so that was handy.

This though?   What good can come of a one year old child, a large puppy, and a bag of flour?

Absolutely nothing.

We intervened before the destruction could occur.

This is the heaviest metal tractor in the house and he loves to carry it around.

And at the end of a hot day their parents all took them home again.

Love you all, Grandma
