Child Labor and a Stroll Down Fifth Avenue

Pals (usually)

 Earning a blister,

while Grandpa, Glenn, and I were planting the vegetable garden.

(No, he didn't mow the alfalfa field, just the grass around the garden)

He was too big to use as a chimney sweep, 

so we put him to work in the garden. ;-)
Glenn loved digging with the trowel and carrying dandelions to the huge pile of weeds.
(I hate cellphone pics!)

 Her biggest task while here was riding herd on the little brothers at bedtime.
What a job! When you're done reading a chapter of 'The Last Battle' (Narnia)
and they're tucked in for the night, how do you keep them in bed???

Last Saturday we took a walk along Fifth Avenue with the grandkids and the grandpuppy. We started out with the little one in the stroller, but you know how that works. And as long as there's virtually no traffic on that road, it was good for him to be running along with us.

Fascinated by a struggling bumble bee

Grandma doesn't like to see animals suffering. Upon reflection, however, it might have been a good idea to wait until the boys were further down the road before I stepped on the bumble bee to put it out of its misery. I was very unpopular for a few minutes.

Another corn field

We get another set of grandkids this weekend, who will be spending next week with us! One will be attending VBS at our church, while his older sister helps me in the craft department. It should prove to be a fun week. I sure hope it doesn't rain, like it did most of the week their siblings were here.

The other grandchild (our daughter's family) is heading to Gettysburg with his parents today. We had hoped to go to Gettysburg with them this summer, but the contracting business is always intense in the summer when our son-in-law is on summer break from teaching. We're going to have to give up on the summer vacation idea with them and go for a 'spring break' vacation instead.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting photos from them (at Gettysburg*) and you know they'll be coming to a blog post soon!

* Or as Henry says, 'Gettyburg, to see Sipil War.' (he's two.) :-)
