whew!

Me and mommy are going home today...

WHEW!

My grampa and grama are needy!

All that hugging and kissing was wearing me out!

I couldn't go anywhere that grama wasn't following me!

Like I was going to hurt myself or something?

Then they took me to see my nana...

and she slobbered all over me!

And they call me the slobber-er!

Until next time...

this is Delainee over and out.

Pool time

Delainee here!

"It's Friday and it will be time to go home tomorrow.

Grama will be on her own again and back to blogging about

all her boring knitting and sewing stuff."

Today I'm sharing my pool tips:

Wear a hat and apply lots of sunscreen!

The higher the SPF number the better.

Bring a float to sit in and lots of water toys.

Wear a swim diaper

to avoid sinking to the bottom of the pool in 10 minutes.

A cute swimsuit will impress all the other babies at the pool and

grama says if I look this cute nobody will be looking at her!

She says, "The ultimate sacrifice a grandmother can make

is to be seen at the local pool in her swimsuit."

grampas

Delainee here on a Thursday...

When grampa's sitting in his chair looking a little sleepy

and totally bored...

I try to come up with things to entertain him.

He really liked blowing bubbles with me.

Be prepared to share your freezy pop.

"Grama! Can grampa have his own freezy pop?"

You can take him to the zoo too!

The monkeys were our favorite.

Hint: Make him wear sunscreen and reapply often.

Who's a monster?

"Hi!"

Wednesday here...

and I'm still putting up with Grama!"

"If your grama asks you to help her make monster cookies...

just say yes and pretend to help

 because remember when you're finished 

you get to lick the spatula."

"I think they need just a smidgen more M&M's."

"Perfect!"

toys

"Hi!"

Delainee checking in here on a sunny Tuesday."

"Mommy's taking me swimming today.

She used to be a lifeguard 

so she says the first thing she will be checking is the PH of the water.

I think PH means play hard."

"I overheard grama telling mommy yesterday

 that kids now days have too many clothes and toys!

Mommy rolled her eyes at clothes

and I rolled my eyes at toys"

"Mommy says a girl can never have too many clothes

and I said a girl can never have too many toys"

Delainee

"Hi!

I'm Delainee..."

"I'll be helping my grandma post this week."

"I may be sharing my secrets about removing those tough

carrot stains from bibs, the best brand of laundry soap,

flatulent issues, selecting the correct size of diapers

 demonstrating how to do the hot dog dance...

and more."

summer fun

Mac and cheese...arts and crafts...snappers...

monkey bars and jungle gyms...bomb pops and pop...

sidewalk chalk and hot wheels!

My sister brought her granddaughters over for a visit

and we crammed as much fun in as we possibly could.

They are a couple of silly cuties.

I knew they were coming

 and I've been wanting to make this new zipper pouch pattern.

I am a sucker for a fun coin purse.

Throw in a little girlie stuff and they made the perfect prizes

for our sidewalk chalk art contest.

And I get to keep the art until the next rain.
