Grandmonsters...

Realized Thursday, August 24th, that Claude and I had Friday, August 25th as a free evening. I asked Claude what he thought of offering to watch the Mini's so Andie and Michael could have a date. He was on board for that idea. I sent Andie a text and proposed to her that we do this. She was very happy with that idea.

Claude was already in Louisville at a meeting. He went to the Marx home after they finished Friday and was able to get a nice nap before the Mini's finished school. Hayden wanted his Grampa to pick him up at school. Andie sent a message to Buckner so Claude could pick up Bailey from Bear Care and then they drove to the parking lot and waited for Hayden. Now both kids could have ridden the bus home but it is just fun to have your Grampa come in his bright green Jeep and pick you up at your school.

I drove over and met them just as they were returning to the Marx home. Andie got home from school soon after. I cut her hair and she got ready for her 'hot date' as the Mini's call it.

The Mini's choice for dinner was Dairy Queen. It seems they knew they had a new kind of Blizzard and that was what they really wanted. They each ate a good dinner so they could have dessert. Claude took them to the counter and they picked out what they wanted. We took our dessert to the tables in front of Dairy Queen and finished them outside. Hayden found a Tic Tac Toe game on his cell phone and challenged Claude to a game or two. Bailey found Survival Craft on my Kindle and started it again. After my factory reset, she had to start all over again on her buildings. It was just a lovely evening, cooler than usual and we enjoyed sitting outside and visiting and playing. Then we went back to the Marx home and was America's Funniest Videos till bed time. Nice evening with our Mini's. Michael and Andie came home after having a great dinner date at a new restaurant.
Thursday, the 29th, I was refilling the Kleenex boxes in three places. One was the guest room. When I pulled the Kleenex box out of its cover, it rattled. Hmmm... I turned it upside down and out fell a Reese's Peanut Buttercup. The little kind. Bailey did a scavenger hunt for us over the 4th of July. She hid this Reese's Peanut Buttercup in that box. I just sat and laughed for a bit at our girl and her antics.

I have collected a few pictures of Raelyn. Our great grandmonster. Her dad plays hockey. I love the one of her watching him playing hockey. The next one is Raelyn watching a game with her dad. Her mother loves to read. The last picture is Raelyn reading in her bed after her mom and dad read to her and just before she goes to sleep. Such a cutie. Here are a few:
