What a busy fun filled day with our precious punkins ~ Ansel ae 8, James ae 11 (he is their cousin that we call our 'gr-son' also) & Tatiana ae 6.1st ~ We made toilet paper pumpkins, so fun & easy ... take orange tissue paper, pull it up, stuff it into the cone top, twist paper bag & insert in cone top ... let them draw or add decorations as they see fit. They loved it.
2nd ~ They drew faces on their pumpkins as it was too darn cold to go outside & carve this year.
3rd ~ Tatiana insisted on pumpkin pie so she made them all by herself for the first time. She had a great time & LICKED the bowl clean.
4th ~ Tatiana made meatball subs for lunch. This is a must every time we bring them home & they are simple & easy for kids to do.
Meatballs ~ couple lbs. of hamburger, 1/2 c. parmesan, 1/2 c. pizza sauce, 1/2 c. bread crumbs ... mix well & shape into meatballs ... bake 15 mins. at 400 degrees. Oh, yum!
5th ~ Caramel apples ... what a mess! but oh so deelish!
6th ~ James' eleventh birthday ... we had a cake & a small tea party at his request for his celebration.
7th ~ We went to the amusement park near the house where they have a blast. (not shown)
8th ~ The kids all worked together to make a hamburger casserole & garlic bread for dinner ... Emery & Cat joined us ... serving Tatiana's pie for dessert.
9th ~ I AM POOPED!!! but this is what a 'Mimi' should be after 2 days of constant fun.

What a fun day! What sweet memories you are making with your grands. How are you doing? Miss hearing from you.
ReplyDeleteHi Peanut Butter!
ReplyDeleteI so love this post. The kids are so grown. They look precious, and I can see a great time was had by all.
I have arrived. Crummy hotel, but at least I can post a message or two. I am so tired tonight. I have to run, I've got to find some supper. Much love, Cherry Jelly
You did all that in ONE day with them??? No wonder you were tired!!! LOL I love your activities, though!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! You are the perfect Mimi!:)
ReplyDeleteThat looks fun....where was my invitation
ReplyDeleteHello there, Mimi!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that you ARE pooped!!! Those grand~babies did keep you busy.... and they are really cute, too, Marydon! What a perfect family get-together time for you all! Hopefully, you can have just as much with them again real soon!
Now, go put those feet up!! :)
Hugs to you,
Christina
Hi, Marydon,
ReplyDeleteYour grandchildren are so beautiful! I can tell they had a ball. You are a great grandmother to plan all of these fun activities for them to enjoy. You made many lasting memories for them! Vicki
Busy, fun day! :O)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing your sweeties,
d
Sounds like you all had a great time but I know how you feel. After I have my little grandchildren I am pooped too.
ReplyDeleteYou must be the best G-mom ever!!! A think of the memories that were made. They will last a lifetime! What beautiful grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
June
OH MD...what fun! I would soooo have eaten this up. Since I have only Miss K she gets ALL the attention. What will I do when I have more? Gramma always said there just enough room in a Grammy's heart to add just one more...each and every time they come along!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait.
Love to you~
Rebecca
I bet you're worn out! It sounds like you had a full schedule, but look like you had an immense amount of fun! They are beautiful kids, I'm sure they make you very proud!
ReplyDeleteA childs favorite.
ReplyDeleteWendy
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU MY DEAR, OVER AT MY " THE PLUMED PEN" BLOG~ DO COME BY TO PARTAKE; I WOULD BE HONORED!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had great fun;(I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO FEEL TIRED ALSO)!.., There's nothing like good honest fun and family time spent together though!..,
Cheers, hugs and many thanks for your kind and uplifting comments! ~ SILKEN PURSE
Gosh, that looks wonderful and such fun!! [drool] Great photos. I'm glad y'all had a good time. Kids are little treasures, aren't they?! But boy can they wear these old bones out! [whew - ha ha] :))
ReplyDeleteEven though you may be "pooped," it is great that you could have that much fun with the kiddos!
ReplyDeleteI had never seen a toilet paper pumpkin until this year. Now, I can say I've been no place in which I've not seen one. Ah, yes, fads come and go, but caramel apples are forever!
Hi Marydon! I'm pooped just reading your post! How cute are your grands! Now I would have done some research to find out all of the fun things to do. You're a great grandmother!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
HI!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun times with the kiddos!!!
I love those moments and ones to cherish, they make time stand still!!!!!
Hugs,
jamie
I have just come over for a visit from Scotland and am so glad I did.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful children. I want to come over and play with them.
I love the idea of painting pictures on the pumpkins rather than carving them. Brilliant!
Hi Marydon,I love this post! Looks like a lot of fun and the kids are really cute! It's wonderful to be part of their much awaited happy days like this.
