Busy Here...

Just a quick update because it is still quiet in the house. (For how long is anybody's guess!)

I picked up my daughter and grandchildren at Indianapolis International on Wednesday evening. They had flawless flights, and the children were good. (That helps a bunch!) The children headed straight for the neighbors to announce their arrival...then were up and playing with the neighbor kids by noon.

Thursday, they played some. Meg shopped some. We went out to eat at a Chinese buffet, at Meg's request. (She bought.) The sleeping arrangements that night were: Robin in the play tent in the living room, with Ryan and Meg in my room. I slept in the guest room. Megan complained that her son is a fidgeter in his sleep.

Yesterday, the kids played. In the evening, I took them to the Methodist Church's annual fish fry where we visited with the other grandparents, and the kids came home with trinkets (mostly noisemakers) that were given as prizes for the yard games they played. They were happy. The sleeping arrangements were supposed to be: Ryan in the play tent in the living room, with Robin and Megan in my room. However, Robin decided that she wanted to sleep in my own room. The object, I believe, was to play after the old folks went to bed. She showed up in my bed at 2:30 AM looking very much like she hadn't been to sleep at all. Hmmmm...

Today is Robin's roller skating birthday party. I have already been to the BMV to renew my license plate (that expires today), stopped at the grocery store, have made a pot of goulash for visitors later, and spot cleaned the kitchen floor. I need to keep plugging, however, because there is SO much more to do!

Megan leaves to return to California on Friday. The children will be staying with me an extra week. Originally, their stepmother had asked if I would stay with them in their new home for a week or so before their school starts...but thought better of it. We're going to play it by ear from Plainfield!

Back to work here. Hurry, hurry, hurry!
