This was a day for five little grandchildren to come over to our house and spend the day so their parents and their baby brother could go Christmas shopping. We have had quite a day...picnic, whittling, climbing trees, practice kicking a soccer ball, cooking, building with spools (over the years I have saved all empty thread spools and we have quite a large collection...enough to build a pretty good city!), playing with various and sundry of Grammy and Goosey's toys...ending with Christmas stories. Fun and games! We even managed to get a little school in...Graham did a lesson, Joy did a couple of lessons, and Abigail had her sewing lesson. I even managed to leave long enough to get my hair cut. Abigail was very helpful...she made brownies (with Elijah's help...cracking the egg...his special job when they cook..as a 3-year-old, he cracks an egg better than I can!) and all the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch...she even helped Goosey wash dishes after lunch. Their parents and baby brother got home just in time for supper. After they left, Woody headed off to the prayer room at church and I started our supper. Woody is back home and we have enjoyed the pasta dish that I made and now we are settling in for the evening. Oh, and the rain held off till after dark so we had plenty of time to spend outdoors. I took quite a few pictures while they sat on the front porch railing and while they played in the front yard...trying to capture some casual portraits. 'Tis the season!
