Grandpa's Idea

Grandpa has a new idea for summer fun. He wants to have a picnic on the church roof. He claims that it is fairly flat up there and he thinks it would be fun. One problem is if Grandma could get up there? I do think Jonny and Joey are to little for sure and we might want to put Natalie in a harness ha. Grandpa is determined about this and loves to tell people that we are going to do it. So prepare yourselves. I do think it is better than his idea of cutting off a chickens head, although he hasn't completely given up on that either.

Oh lonesome me.

Hi Emily, Alise, Luke, Natalie, Jonathan, and Josiah. This grandmas is lonesome. Last night we had some church friend over. They were interested in seeing pictures, so grandpa and I had fun showing you all off and bragging on you a little. Hope you are all okay. It has been along time since I blogged. I need to get better. Here is a fun craft idea. Draw an outline of something, like a butterfly. Then get colorful pieces of tissue paper and tear into little pieces and glue in the outline you made. Makes a very colorful picture. You could even turn it into a card for someone. I love you all

A Fun Book

Have you guys read this book? It is one of my favorites. If you have't read it I know you could get it from your school or public library. The Author, Jan Brett has written several, and they are all fun. Some of them seen a little hard for my preschoolers but they love this one. After we had read it, we acted it out. We used the blanket as a mitten. The children were different animals and they all crawled inside. At the sneeze the blanket and all the children went flying. What fun. It is fun to pick an author and then see if you can read all the books that he/she has written.
