Next Day

 

Monday's Events

 

 

Grandpa took Spencer and Garrett swimming at our friend's home in the morning to avoid the heat. Somehow so far this week, it is not hot. It is overcast and humid though. The pool has an unusual entry of levels. When we went swimming at the hotel on Saturday night, Garrett was very slow to get in the pool. So when they got there, Grandpa was unloading stuff figuring Garrett was going to tip toe in. Who knows what happened, but Garrett was in too deep and gasping for air. Grandpa had his swim trunks on, but still a shirt, his phone, car remote, in the pockets so he didn't want to just jump in. He did reach over and pull Garrett up, but not in the urgency that Garrett was hoping for. After that, they had fun.

 

Back to the house for sandwiches, Wii and choice of play. The menu was peanut butter and honey sandwiches. Spencer did not like the looks of our cream honey or our too soft white bread. Grandpa made it plain peanut butter and he cut it in half, but it was still floppy so he cut it in thirds. Spencer didn't like that. He wanted two pieces. Grandpa ate one and said "there, now you have two pieces" Spencer didn't like that either.

 

When I got home from work at 4:45, the boys were immersed in transformer play in the living room. I made tacos with crisp shells. Garrett said he wanted the one that was broken. Basically he made a tostada. He ate four halves without any complaint. Spencer nibbled on his shell through the tomatoes and might have eaten a touch of cheese. He was done.

 

We took the boys to see the movie Home. They could already quote from the movie when it was over. It will not be a movie we buy. I had a hard time staying awake somewhere in the middle. Mini Chips Ahoy and Mini Oreos with milk for their after movie and before bedtime snack.

 

Overall, a good day I would say. Thank you Grandpa Fred for all that you do!
