A Visit To Great Nana and Grandads House

Oh adorable xxx
thanks for the lovely photos, such happy children.....love the action shots!
how old are they now.....

What a lovely time you had Carole. Super photos!..the craft idea has given me food for thought for my next time with Freya...

What a lovely blog and Photo's Carole..Izzy and Sam had a great day with you,and they did a good job with the cut out dolls ..Nice to see you joining in with the party blowers too !
It's nice they are so close as cousins..more like brother and sister,as you have often said..Now,why weren't you bouncing on the bed with them? :o) xx

Now that was a fun day and enjoyed by all as shows in the happy smiling faces.
Lovely photo's Pansy, I bet you enjoyed your cup of tea afterwards as well..

You did great in keeping them amused indoors all day. Good results with their art work too. Bet you were glad to relax after they'd gone home!

They must love visiting you as much as you enjoy having them. Gosh they are so lucky having grandparents like you!

Its a good idea to set up things for them to do in advance.
Put them in a seperate box, or scrap book at the ready.
At August school holidays I used to have the programme on the kitchen door, one hour for each activity, with reading time, then walking and observation time, in between. Then meals.
Kept them busy every day for 6 weeks.
Then they grew up and bullied me into taking them on the coach to London to the Science Museum.
Once in there I wasnt wanted anymore. Told to sit on the settee and do my knitting.
Oh well, it comes to us all.

Isn't it lovely to see them :o) They're lucky to have a great gran like you. I remember my gran finding similar things for me to do ...
so they'll have lots of happy memories of you when they've grown up :o)

Hi Pam They are adorable and full of fun, the action shots have come out great, thats more than I can say for the bed when they had finishedlol Sam is 3 in March and Izzy3 in June ;0)

Hi Waddy Craft is always a winner isnt it! the only thing is Sam got Acrylic paint on his jumper despite the aprons , hope Im not in Mums bad books lol

Hey Sandra have a little sympathy for my bed and my bones, think my bouncing days are over lol

Lincs you guessed right the cuppa after their departure was very welcome lol

Hi Feverfew I enjoyed every minute the but he relaxation and cuppa afterwards was very welcome [I have Puppet making in mind for the next visit] ;0)

Thanks for your nice comment Steragram, they do like visiting and we love having them;0)

Snoopdog I love them coming it brings out the child in me all over again;0)

Thanks Homebird its lovely having them they bring back all the memories of all the happy times we had with their parents when they were little;0)

Dianne, you sound like me, I already have their next activities planned for when they come, I was a Nursery Teacher years ago and just love entertaining the little ones;0)

Hi Hywel its great you have memories of times with your Gran, Mine wasnt very Arty but used to let me have concerts in her back yard I was very enterprising [a penny for admission and half an apple] those were the days lol

PansyP I thought you must have had a lot of experience teaching the tinies with all those ideas! You haven't lost the touch!

Ah Dianne, that's sad in a way but I hope you went round and enjoyed things on your own - such a waste to just sit knitting unless you know the museum well and have seen it all before...I read somewhere that they have removed the big dinasaur - it won't be the same will it?

Such a happy blog Carole ... they obviously enjoy their visits to you and Harry ... and good to see him looking hale and hearty! :o))

Everyone seems so happy and lively. Good time for everyone to share. Lovely blog Pansypotter.
