special times

lately, we have tried to do a few "special" things with each one of the grandchildren.

we watch them regularly....and that is great...but they usually need to fit into our schedule during those times.....

it started with taking brody and wyatt to the circus

then i had the faerie tea for journey

papa took asher to the dinosaur museum

and then we took milo to the kids museum

little clay just thinks crawling around the house is special for right now!!!!

i thought i'd share a few more photos of our special times

(papa took photos of asher, but that camera is not cooperating right yet!)

papa and milo with his dino souvenir

he loved driving the car....until this little gal said he needed to share!!! :-)

grocery shopping was a big hit


so many products to choose from!


playing in the sand


the climbing apparatus was amazing and he loved it!!!
this museum is just wonderful and divided into age appropriate areas!




brody and wyatt at shriners circus

gotta have a souvenir ya know!

just watchin the show

got to ride the elephant....all by their very own selves

without papa or nonnie!

.....and the ponies

he really did have fun...i promise! :-)

same face his mama used to make when she was little!!!

(and his auntie)

it has really been fun getting to share these special times with these amazing little ones....

we look forward to many more!!!

and we are anxiously awaiting grandbaby #7

Tea for Two

i have been telling journey,

our only granddaughter (to-date),

that we needed to have a TEA.

things got hectic and the TEA was put aside

but journey often talked about it.......

so finally nonnie got it together

and journey and i had

a

FAERIE TEA PARTY

and it was so much fun!

this was her invitation sent through the mail

i made faerie dolls and a faerie house

and i had almost too much fun doing it!!!!!

i set it up out on our patio

as the weather has cooled off now

faerie house and dolls

tea party friends

our faerie woodland

my little faerie tea partner dancing to faerie music

gotta have dancin shoes and a marvelous dress

we made faerie wands

and faerie dust necklaces

and had scrumptious food fit for a faerie tea party

(nonnie had hot tea but journey wanted "pretend tea")

although she did enjoy the sugar cubes!!!!!

playing with her faerie dolls

her purse filled with goodies a little faerie might like

thank you journey girl

for all the fun!

my wings are put away for now but i'm going to keep them close!

october

“There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on,

and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October”
~Nathaniel Hawthorne

i love the month of october....

just something about it

that heightens the senses

and brings fresh hopes & awakened perspective~

a little shedding of extra baggage

and being free.

happy october all!
