Family Home and Life: Say It Saturday

Hello SIS'ters! Welcome once again to Say It Saturday. School started this week for some of the grand kids, in 2 weeks for the others. Can you believe it?! It always feels like summer is nearly over once school starts but the reality here in the Phoenix valley is that it will be hot for a loooong time still; right up and into October. And even then, it is still pretty bad outside. Why am I going on about this so much?



Well, I guess it's because I feel like I have been on a kind of marathon with all the grand kids here this summer. It has taken it's toll on me for sure along with the heat. I feel like I am crawling to the finish line and just made it in the nick of time. I am Whooped with a capital W! School starting gives me a bit of a break in one way cause it's quieter here during the day, but I will be picking kids up from school this year which means packing up and buckling in the three 2 years olds and that is a job?in it's self!?Yes I have been a little MIA in blog land but once I can get my breath you will see/hear a little more from me :)?

I really must plan for next summer because I was behind all the time this summer. I didn't do half the things I wanted to with the kids. Yes I always have bigger dreams than can come to pass but I could have done a better job with more planning.
It's fun to watch the kids grow and change over the years and how?their?play time changes. This summer fort building and playing with dolls and stuffed toys was about all they wanted to do. They would arrive, begin to build a fort for themselves, gather the dolls and toy animals then start the role playing. They would gather all the blankets and sheets they could find and one day after coming out of the bathroom I found my bed stripped down to the bare mattress! It happened in minutes! I drew the line there and asked for no more using my bed linens from my bed.

Once, one of the girls was a vet and another of the girls had brought her a stuffed dog that needed surgery. The 'vet' came out of the 'surgery' room with out the dog. The dog 'owner' was concerned?because?her dog was left alone. The 'vet' said "oh no, it's not alone, the other vets are taking care of it right now." She was pretending she had colleagues in her practice. The dog 'owner' was upset and said "You can't pretend you have other vets in there! My doggie is all alone!" So apparently while?pretending,? don't pretend! this is serious stuff! I will miss my big kids that are in school this year.

Has school started for your grand kids yet? I'm so glad you are here, thanks for coming!
