Sweet Faces

My daughter and son-in-law took a much needed short vacation to Los Cabos, Mexico.

So, I am taking care of my granddaughters, Sydney, age 6 and Samantha age 2. 🙂

I seem to need a lot more energy than I have to keep up with them. BUT, that being said, we had an art project that went well…

EXCEPT, we got a little paint on the bean bag chair. OOPS! And, I cannot figure for the life of me how to unzip the cover to throw it into the washer. So, I scrubbed it the best I could.

Then we went to a Candy Canes for Kids event designed to raise money for the Collin County Advocacy Center for children. And, that was fun. Cold and windy, but fun nevertheless.

Another sign of my age – When we got into the van to come back home, I buckled them both in safely, got in and drove away, leaving the stroller sitting in the parking lot. Yikes!! Thankfully, my older daughter was there with her family and she went and rescued it.

So, now today, after gymnastics, I have promised that we will play beauty shop.

If I miss your blogs, fail to return emails or other such important matters, I promise I’ll catch up. But, I am going to remain totally immersed in the moment with these two because I know how precious this time is.

Can they be ornery?? Heck yes. But, it usually passes pretty quickly. 🙂

Happy Sunday, everyone. Hug someone today.

  1. Beautiful granddaughters, Jan. Looks like a lot of fun, painting and getting out there enjoying life through their eyes. I admit i dont keep track of the things as well either, but you got what was important in the van:)

  2. At least you didn’t drive away and leave one of the kids in the parking lot! They’re adorable. And don’t worry about visiting blogs. We all have lives and do the best we can. Anyone who doesn’t understand that shouldn’t be blogging. Hugs, girlfriend ❤

  3. Thanks, Mae. And today their mommy and daddy come back home. It is going to take at least a day for me to get rested up. 🙂 I appreciate you stopping by.

  4. Oh, they are so precious, Jan! You’re truly blessed with such adorable angels in your life.
    Thanks for sharing the photos. They are heartwarming!
