We had Alaina and Ruby overnight this past weekend. Because of Christmas parties, blizzards and sickness, it's been awhile, so we were happy to have them again.
We went to Chik-fil-A for supper which they enjoyed. (We liked it too.) :)
When we got home the girls changed into the PJ's and Alaina had to model her new ones.
We played the game of Life on the Wii and then watched Happy Feet before they went to bed.
The next morning, they worked on Lego's while I did a little cooking and got laundry going.
Bob had to work on Saturday, but he had left a little message on out dry erase frame to tell them he loved them.
Ruby worked hard on a picture to leave for him. She says it includes some of his favorite things - a tree, paint can (He mixes lots of paint at work), a plant, a saw cutting wood and a dog. He loved it!
Then we started on our craft for the day.
Oh well - they had fun anyway!
They also decided that stacking cups was just as fun!
We made a trip to Great Grandpa's house and then went home. It was a fun time!

Good lesson learned, Ruby! Looks like you had a fun weekend even though the craft didn't go perfectly as planned. Hope you have a good week!
The P.J.'s are adorable! And the melted cups are even cuter than flat, they would make good keycains.
Sounds like you had a lot of fun with your grands. You do fun things with them, and I am sure they love it. Things change when they become teens so enjoy them. Have a great week!
It is not quite flat but the result is nice. I loved making some crafts with my daughter and baking!
( I am looking for a picture of my Laura Ashley wedding dress! Coming soon 😆)
Another fun day for the young members of the family. So happy they look
It's always an adventure when you have the girls!! Loving their smiles.
Ahh Mari, nothing better than visits from the grands...glad you had fun!
hugs

That craft looks like a winner anyway. Ha!
So much fun
I'll never forget when you taught me that stacking cups were toys. My grandchildren still play with the multicolored large solo cups I bought for Dagny all those years ago, and I've added the red shot-size (hahaa) which Rhett adores. Such a great idea and even if your craft was a quasi-fail, that's still really cute! That darling Alaina ... but looking at her bare legs made me shiver, haaahaaa! I'm sure that like me, you have blankets everywhere for such times! xoxo
Well, little bowls will have more use than flat discs so that worked out well! Looks like a good time was had by all!
Your granddaughters are lovely, and smart!!!!! :)

Looks like it was another wonderful time with the girlies. ;) I love Ruby's commment! She's a hoot! The treasured memories you're all making together is priceless. Blessings on your week ahead! xo
Always a fun time at your house. :)
I just LOVE reading about the girls staying over and the fun crafts you always have ready for them to do! It is so fun watching them grow up into such lovely young ladies through your blog posts, Mari. What a blessing to have them close enough to see them often. xo
I think the cups turned out pretty cool! I know those girls bring y’all so much joy! They sure are growing up so fast.
Sounds like a fun time with the girls. The picture they made for Bob is adorable. I love your board and batten wall in the dining room. Sooo pretty! xo
Beautiful photos. Love seeing those cuties. Always grateful for you and your prayers. I am so happy I made it over here today. Stay safe and warm and enjoy the week.
P.S. I love the tip about cooking the ground beef. Great way to save some time.
Have a blessed week my friend.
I love the way you always do some sort of craft with them, I bet they don't really care about the end results, just doing something with Grandma is special enough, I'm sure.
