Back in the swing of things = NO!
Down in my back = yes
Why? = Because I tried too hard to be a fun grandmother with the grandkids
How? playing on the teeter totter and lifting 35 pounds of sugar and spice
Back to normal = not this week but maybe next
Back to blogging = yes with a pillow and ice at my lower back = because I want to share the pictures I got of the grandkids while we were babysitting in Montgomery!
Jessica came down with the girls to play with us on our first day in Montgomery
Lily Kate loved all the attention each of us gave her!
Annie liked playing with all their toys and grabbed this helmet and football just like a pro!
Pops grabbed a moment to hold the little ones before the older ones got home from school
The kids had a lot of fun playing with the little ones
They sang "no more monkeys jumping on the bed" in unison
But here is where I think I made my wrong move. I picked up Alex and put her in Sydney's lap to swing together. Then again it could have been when...
...when I bounced with all the girls on the teeter totter like a 6 year old!
Our first day on the job was fun but that night reality hit me at bed time when I could hardly bend over.*************************************************************************************
Getting all 4 ready for school before 7:10 am was our biggest challenge every day! Thank goodness for velcro and older children because I could not lean over to pick up or do anything for anyone. Ugh!
Chad was our low maintenance child and was on time to wait for his bus to pick him up every day
Harrison had a new jacket that he loved except for the day he zipped his lip up in it:)
Sydney is going thru a "no pictures please" phase but helped me get lunch boxes ready every day
Alex was the sleepy head every morning but became alert when breakfast was presented!***********************************************************************************
Bedtime was no problem. They all like to take baths and when I pulled out a "Wish List" catalog for them to browse through after they finished, this crowd got all excited!
Not sure if being on top of the table is permitted on regular occasions but you know how grandparents can get away with a few things!************************************************************************************
Harrison and Alex begged to decorate premade gingerbread cookies one night (I later learned the kit had been in the pantry for almost a year :) but they did not want to eat them anyway, they just wanted to decorate and eat the candy:)

What does a grandmother do when it is raining outside after school = play table games!
They love mexican dominoes = all 4 ages can join in on this one!
...some play on top of the table..
some do not like to look at the camera lately (she is just going through a phase...)
and some love to smile at the camera!
but this one prefered to be on top of my clothes everyday!
