A Saturday with Grandma Mary

A few weeks ago I was gone all day Saturday and Dave had to work, so Grandma Mary came for the day. The boys were so excited you would have thought it was Christmas morning. Ian had plans to ride his bike, Miles was excited to read the "silly book" with Grandma, and I know Wes was secretly giddy about being held all day long. Not only did all of these things happen, but Grandma added a few to the list. Ian learned to play H-O-R-S-E, everyone had there bodies traced in chalk, and Wes got to spend the day in his Halloween costume! (Grandma couldn't find a coat, but his bumble bee costume looked warm.)

Here is Ian a few days later showing me how he almost doesn't need the training wheels.

Ian always wears his helmet, his elbow pads, and his knee pads. He is now saving up to buy some bike gloves. It takes him 20 minutes to get ready to ride the bike. Reminds me of that commercial where the kid is going swimming and he has about 10 life jackets, arm floaties, a noodle, and a inner tube.

Here is Ian with the chalk drawing Grandma did of him.

I think in one day they had more playtime with an adult then they get in a week with me-and Grandma retires this year!
