I got the chance to break all the rules with Bart and Leslie's children. They went to Mexico for a week so I had their three for 5 days and then the Planks will have them 5 days. That's a long time for children to be away from their parents...
Sooo...
We ate whatever we wanted including junk food for breakfast...
Watched movies... a lot...
Played the Wii for HOURS
even though the boys each earned their ten minutes reward for good behavior.
Indiana was an angel. We got a lot of cold and snowy weather and the kids had coughs so they didn't get to play in it here...
Yes... we did read books, play, eat healthy food and get sleep too.
You don't really know your grandchildren until you've had them over night and all day for days in a row... their true colors shine... the bright ones and the dark ones.
SNOW and ICE!!!
Our h0me teacher from across the
street spent an hour shoveling
the driveway and steps for me
on the 18th. WE had about 3 inches
and I couldn't get the car up the driveway.
Today, the 20th we got at least 7 more inches... pictures to come.
Ben is outside playing in the snow... it's 10 at night...
He got off work at 7:30 and the drive home on the free way was fun, he said, because he was one of very few cars out and he didn't have to worry about anyone else hitting him, or him hitting them.
Weather predictions have swung from ice storm with 30 mph winds to gentle snow up to 12 inches. We'll see what we really get. The roads are ice underneath the snow so it will be a long time before this all melts away. It would be nice to get some warm temperatures and some RAIN!!!
