Grandparents are great blessings




Mrs. Kelty was just here for a nice visit. It was great to have an extra set of hands around while I started the school year. And it was nicer to have someone else cook a meal and have a built in babysitter too! It was such a blessing for the kids to spend time with her. She taught them to play all kinds of card games. They worked the crossword puzzle together and read comics. Best of all, Grandma had a tea party with them. Now I do tea parties for the kids. Usually we have water or iced tea in our cups and cheerios or crackers as our cakes. Grandma made tea and delicious biscuits with her little helper, Sarah. Then they all had tea using their imaginary names. This is a constant with all of Grandma's visits. Grandma comes and brings "Mrs. Effenbottom" to tea, and we get a visit from "Princess Kelly and King Arthur" as well. Sean is figuring this all out this visit as he was a bit young on Grandma's last visit. After a few rounds of, "your name is Grandma, not Mrs. Effenbottom" he finally started to catch on. And the kids are still talking about the tea and cake.
