"Grandma, you popped out of the computer!" This was Jane's explanation of my appearance in New Orleans! So now I have popped back in. I feel like Mary Poppins!
We had such a fun time! Danny, Jane and I made Carolyn's recipe for all time delicious chocolate chip cookies. We paraded down the block to sing to Angela and her neighbor Pat. They both share July 3rd b'days.
Vocabulary to know:
Danny--First you do this, "click", and you "cluck", and then "click". He's very "clicky", not "cliquey", just like his dad.
Jane--"Dad, I'm told."; "First, you get the took book and then bake some cookies."; and "Grandma, can I have some "toke"! I had to keep translating those "t's" into "c's" to get the gist of her requests.
Pete--Sings the last word of every line of lots of songs. This is the "day", this is the "day", that the Lord has "made". He is a great singer!!!
The three of them LOVE to play together. Their mom and dad give them frequent refreshers on how to play together, but it's all good.
Saturday night we enjoyed music and fireworks at the "Uncle Sam Jam" with some of Carolyn and Bill's friends. Then Sunday night we had a front yard picnic. The water balloon toss evaporated into a very fun fight.
We had our traditional trip to Cafe Du Monde for our powdered sugar fix. And we stopped in to see the Argos' new house which is a beautiful gift out of the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina.
And we had lots of fun in the backyard: swimming, mud pies, water plungers, t-ball, and more!!!
