Alaina and Ruby spent the night this weekend. It's been a little while since they were able to do that and we had lots of fun.
We went out for supper, then spent some time in the back yard. They still like to play on our play set.
They did a little routine for us, laughing the whole time.
They asked if I would paint their nails, then Ruby thought it would be funny to paint Bob's toenails. He allowed one to be painted, so now he has an iridescent purple toenail!
Saturday morning we walked to the neighbors farm to check out their animals. They have miniature ponies, a Clydesdale horse...
a donkey...
miniature highland cattle...
and more cows! So fun to see.
When we got home, we worked on a craft that I'll share with you next week so this doesn't get too long.Then we made lunch.
Bob impressed them by making grilled cheese sandwiches out of buns on the waffle maker. They said they loved them!
It was a beautiful day, so we spent some time outside in the afternoon.
I snapped these pics of the girls sitting on the porch. Here's Ruby.
And here's Alaina.
We brought them home mid afternoon, thankful for such a good time together!

I always enjoy your posts of the grands. Alaina and Ruby are so sweet. Grilled cheese using a waffle iron... hmmmm... I have a grandson who LOVES grilled cheese I'm going to have to try that. Have a great week!
The porch sittings look professional. You do good work!
Poor Bob - I bet he can’t wait for that grandson!!! 😉
Hi Mari! Yes, it looks like a wonderful weekend with the girls. It's so great that you get to spend so much time with them. Bob's a good sport to let them paint his toe nail. Painted nails are very common among boys in high school, so Bob is very "with it" and "cool." :-)
The porch photos are gorgeous! And my favorite is the girls in front of the barn. I bet they just love those miniature animals!
The waffles look so delish!
So glad you and Bob enjoyed the girls! Bob is such a good sport...lol Love the toenail.
hugs

Beautiful.
Ah, the good things in life! What fun, they need to slow the heck down and not grow up too quickly! :)
Those photos of the granddaughters on the porch are adorable. I have never thought to do that with my waffle iron to make grilled cheese. I finally caught up on reading your blog, what a wonderful trip to the Smokey Mountains you took and looking forward to seeing posts about your new grandson that is coming in August.
What a blessing to be able to have those special times with your girlies. I miss those times with ours now that they are either in college or about to go to college...not to mention the 13 hours that separate our homes.
Your girlies are growing into such beautiful young ladies.
I always love seeing the precious time spent with your sweet girls. 💕 Bob is such a good sport Lol 💜 and very clever in the kitchen! They're growing up so fast - just like my Annie. If only we could make time freeze for a just a little while.
What fun! Beautiful girls and they are getting so big!
Sounds like a fun and full day. How blessed you are to be able to see your grands so often.
The girls are growing SO fast! I am glad you are having nice weather here we have terrible weather thunderstorms and lots of rain!
Waggled grill cheese sandwiches! What a fun, clever, and easy idea! You made great memories with your girls!
What fun you had!!
That looks like a pretty good size farm.

Those girls are growing up to be lovely young ladies. Seems like last week that you were worrying about Ruby climbing on everything!! I'm pretty impressed with those grilled cheese sandwiches made in the waffle iron! My friend, Kalisa, is crazy about Highland cattle!! God bless Grandpa Bob and his purple toenail!! Maybe they turned him into a purple people eater!! :) Looking forward to the craft!!
It looks and sounds like a wonderful weekend with the girls.
I really like the porch photographs you took of them.
All the best Jan
Hi Mari, I enjoyed your post and pictures. You are blessed to live in the country. Now I am curious about the project you did.
Their porch photos are so good!
What a lovely weekend. Both you and the girls are lucky that you live so close.
Such beautiful times with those lovely girls. You are very blessed. Thanks for sharing with us. Love all the animals.
What fun you and the girls must have had. Bob was a great sport to have his toenail pined. Janice
The girls have gotten so big and beautiful.
Loved the animal pictures.
The shot of the girls painting Bob's toenail made me smile because it made me think of my two great-granddaughters who love painting their dad's toenails.
Aww, what a fun day! Bob is such a good sport! 😁
Bob's toenail! That is hilarious!! I'm surprised they were ok with painting just one, lol!
Oh Mari, those last two pictures! So precious, these sweet girls growing up in the bosom of their family and being trained and taught the truth. It's just wonderful. I save those and the one of the two of them together, for my RubyAlainaCassie file! Can't wait to add that next little nugget to the collection! So Bon can make grilled cheese sandwiches on the waffle maker with a purple iridescent toenail? That is impressive, hahaha xoxo
