S U N D A Y F U N D A Y !

The grand peeps, Elijah, Shelby and Knox, enjoyed some bouncy time on Knox’s big inflatable bouncy toy this afternoon in Knox’s back yard. They had a great time jumping and bouncing and rolling and wrestling and playing with Elijah and Shelby’s big purple ball.

Trying to get them to settle down for a few seconds for a group shot is like herding tumble weeds, especially when Knox is saying, “I’ve got boogies!”

After the ‘boogies’ were cleaned up, this was the best I could get out of them before it all fell completely apart.

Nothing cuter than kid feets.

Pile of Peeps!

I did get a cute group shot ~ Kelly, Knox, Shelby, Elijah and Holly

Knox brought me this pretty yellow crocus.

Then he took it back.

I shall try to explain this strange picture ~ the big purple ball got tossed across the yard and landed on something very sharp where it promptly exploded into two equal halves which Shelby and Grandpa decided to wear on their heads and look like the jelly fish in SpongeBob. True story.

Almost 70 degrees today. Great day to be outside under the sunny blue sky, soaking up the warmth. Great day to sit on the front porch and watch the world go by.

EVER LOVIN’ SATURDAY!

Grandson Elijah and his Vision Basketball team played their last game of the season this morning [a bright and early 8:00 a.m. game]. That’s him in the blue holding the ball.

He really enjoys the game and played very well this season. Made lots of points today.

Elijah’s biggest fans: his Grandpa, cousin Knox, his mom, sister Shelby, aunt Kelly [and me, of course].

We all enjoyed breakfast at Hardees after the game.

Another beautiful day to be outside. Knox had a great time bouncing on the trampoline.

Neil is in the process of tearing down his shed/man cave/RC airplane hangar/former woodworking shop. He made lots of progress on the roof today. He can’t wait to get a new building for his airplane and woodworking stuff.

I could not have ordered up a more awesome day than it was today.

The geese were circling over our house, trying to find a leader. Headed back to Canada, maybe? They think it’s spring.

A day like today calls for blowing bubbles.

Knox is starting to get the hang of it. Bubbles = smiles!

Neil has run across some of our children’s toys as he’s cleaned out the attic in the shed. This Snoopy dog pull toy originally belonged to Knox’s mommy, Kelly, and he fell in love with it. Its ears are long gone, but its legs still work. Grandpa attached a string to it so Knox could pull it, and off he went up the sidewalk.

There’s a big patch of these pretty crocuses sprouting in our neighbor’s yard across the street.

Knox and Snoopy are buds now.

He took this toy home with him. I’m glad Snoopy could find  new love in his old age.

Kelly treated us to supper at D’Angelo’s [Authentic Wood-Fired] Brick Oven Pizza tonight. Neil and I enjoyed this place a few years ago, and then it closed, much to our disappointment. But it recently re-opened in the same little place and is just one of the many mom and pop restaurants in our neighborhood that we really enjoy. Delicious! Even Knox loved the half of the pizza with the spinach.

Kelly made treats again and brought them over to share after we stuffed our faces with pizza ~ chocolate covered strawberries, oranges, bananas, and peanut butter filled Ritz crackers. Totally yummalicious! Loved spending this gorgeous day with my sweet peeps! Happy Saturday, y’all!!
