A Wonderful Saturday!

Today has been a bit fast paced, but it has been a good day. My day started with hearing quite a long discussion between Claire and Cary about how her MAMA fixes oatmeal. Let's just say that Cary never quite mastered the task, but Lord knows he tried. I fixed the poor child a bagel! Saturday is chore day, so the girls gathered all their dirty clothes and picked up a bit. Claire did her BEST to teach Kaylee how to make a bed. Pretty sad that the 4 year old attempts to teach the 15 year old. We took the girls to a soccer game-to see some other of our adopted children that we have inherited through Kaylee babysitting. We had some of the college kids here to watch football-Kentucky and the Gators. The girls KNOW where they stand on that one...they ARE Gator fans and did their part to put our poor Kentucky fan in his place! Grace and Claire have really made friends with Spike. He is normally pretty good with them, but he does have his days! He has learned they are a great food source, and he's really trying hard! Tonight I got out some of the dishes my girls used to play with when they were little. The rest of the night was spent placing orders in the restaurant that opened right in my living room! I got to read a bedtime story and say prayers tonight! This is good grandma practice for the future, a wonderful reminder of days long gone, and also a sweet blessing just for today! We are having a blast!
