Good and Tired

What a blessing grandchildren are! These are our three, twin boys aged 3 and a 5 year old girl. They look so cute with their backpacks walking up to the entrance at preschool. I have been in Texas for the past week looking after them while my son and his wife went up to Canada for her grandpa's funeral. It was non stop activity: school, ballet classes, a birthday party, puzzles, games, reading stories, trips to the park, the mall, Wendy's, church, bath time, spilt milk .... and lots of hugs and kisses mixed in!
So today I am "good and tired", meaning I am tired in a good way!
I'm wondering what y'all have been doing this past week, so I'm going to be stopping by for a visit today. See you soon!

  4. Welcome back, Rhondi! I'm sure that your grandchildren had a great time with their grandma - and your son and DIL were able to take off with no worries about what happened at home.
    I'm working on my porch, but the weather here is working against me...so cold and stormy, night and day since Monday. Brrrrrrr

  7. Hi Rhondi, funny I was talking to my brother-in-law. He said I have too much company and I get too tired for my own good. I said I love company and the only time I really get tired is during grandkids week. LOL. all my nine grands in one week and some of their parents too. Exhausting to say the least and I wouldn't change it for anything. that kinf of tired is a 'good thing' you are so right.

    I adore the photo of the little ones going to school. Our grands are what makes the world go round. In fact I have a post today about our Ashley who is 14 years old. Bragging is running high today. Big smile!!!

    Hugs...Jeanne

  10. Rhondi, thanks for stopping by. What precious grandchildren you have & I can see why you're good & tired. I would be too! Younguns can wear you out. Your porch is beautiful, as usual, I love your newly planted tureen. I'll have to come & visit your porch party this year. I don't have a porch to fix up.

  15. What a precious picture, and so great when a grandparent can spend such memorable time with their grandchildren. It's something they will remember when they are grown. Just love this picture.
