A Day With Grandpa

While Wei-Yand and I were off house-hunting last weekend, my dad volunteered to watch the girls.  By himself.  He didn't have to work on Friday, and my mom did, so despite my slight concerns (not at all for the girls, but for my dad who was going to have to wrangle two very active little girls all day long), Wei-Yand and I headed off to look for houses before the girls even woke up.

I should also mention that while my dad is about the most amazing grandpa you could ask for, he doesn't change diapers.  He said that he changed enough when my sister and I were little, so as long as someone else was around to do it, he wouldn't be the one to have to deal with that.  The night before we left he told me that he left the hose out in the sun so the water would warm up so he could just set the girls loose in the back yard and spray them off if need be.  He was joking, and I think I found it much more amusing than my mom did.

My dad has been really good about sending me pictures and messages on the days that I've had to leave the girls, and last week was no exception.  In fact, I thought it would make for a good post:)  So, here is the girls' day with grandpa:


7:53 am - Good Morning: Woke up ornery, but we are happy now!



8:05 am - Breakfast

8:17 am - Peek a boo



8:39 am - In the immortal words...: ...of Jackson Browne ... I thought that it would kill me ... but I'm alive!  Poopy diapers ... yuck.

11:23 am - Where's my bottle?



11:23 am - Nap time is over

12:00 pm - Lunch!

12:08 pm - Noodles are Yummy: We don't need no stinking meat!

1:08 PM - Happy Girls: We took a 2 hour nap, then drank our whole bottles. Had fun at lunch but didn't eat all that well  we love pears but don't care much for meat. We played for a while with Grandpa then took a walk. Tannah got mad and screamed until Grandpa carried her. We are back now and love playing with Grandpa's cane. Tannah is acting sleepy.

1:16 pm - Best toy ever

 1:17 pm - (no subject)

1:11 pm - It's all fun and games ....: ... til somebody cries

 1:24 pm - It's all fun and games ....: (from Grandma) Hopefully it was you that got bonked!!!  I'll be home soon!

1:27 pm - It's all fun and games ....: Just put them down.  Very sleepy.  So are the girls.  Haha

I think my mom made it home by the time the girls woke up from their nap, and that was the last of the pictures.  My mom told me that my dad still had enough energy to cook dinner that night, so I considered the day to be a smashing success!
