FOUR!

Four years ago yesterday at 8:35am, a 10 pound 2 ounce bundle of joy entered our lives. The Man of the House and I officially became grandparents.  And it has been an amazingly fun, and exhausting, four years!

To celebrate his birthday, I did a little interview with the grand baby (at what point do I have to stop calling him that?)  Here are the results:

How old are you?
I'm four

What's your favorite color?
Blue.  Like Sonic.

What's your favorite thing to do?
Playing Sonic and Pac-Man with the buttons on the Gameboy

What do you want to be when you grow up?
um... (big pause) um... mommy.  Oh!  An astronaut now.

What is your favorite food?
Cookies.  And breakfast.

What do you not like to eat?
Beans

What is your favorite animal?
Gorillas and monkeys

What do you like about gorillas?
About them climbing trees

I love:
Mommy

What is special about you?
Walking and running feet.  But I am a little fast, Oma.  I am a lot fast and a little fast!

What's To Do: Update

I am quickly finding that since I am watching the grand baby in the afternoons while his mother is in classes, I am not getting much done at all.  I have to hurry to get the day to day things not on these to-do lists done in the morning.  And I'm not doing so great at that either!  Yikes!!

• Tape and compound new drywall to get ready for painting next weekend   Well, someone did it.  I'm not going to pretend it was me.  I helped a little. 
• Take down pictures, clean and spackle other walls for painting  Yep.  And I just realized this morning I missed an entire wall.  What?
• Work on Christmas present  My crochet focus this week as it turned out was helping with the grand baby's halloween costume. 
• Walk 2 times   well.....   1 time.....
• Pick up some mugs for new project  Nope. I looked at some mugs.  And decided a trip to the dollar store is in order.
• Figure out where all the note pads for my To Do lists keep disappearing to!  NO clue.  None.  I think all my notepads are in cahoots to run off together.  Somewhere there is a happy little land full of my notepads. 

30 Days of Activity: Day One

Day one did not go exactly as I had visioned.  I had intentions of taking a morning walk.  However the day dawned gray, gloomy, and rainy - so the walk never happened.  At that point I started putting the activity for the day off; but by mid afternoon I knew I had to do something.  So, I grabbed the nearest (and cutest) thing I could find and got my activity on...
