It was fun having them here these past two weeks. The kids all warmed up to them really quickly, which didn't happen last summer at the cabin... maybe because they were busy being friends with their cousins.
Things the kids learned from their grandparents:
Eating chips with lunch.
- I rarely buy chips, but Grandma and Grandpa kept us well supplied while we were here so we could have chips with our sandwiches for lunch. B took Little Guy to the grocery store with him today and Little Guy pointed down the chip aisle and yelled, "There's grandma's chips." Princess Sparkley told me last night when she saw me eating some chips, "Don't eat all the chips Mom, we need to have some left for lunch tomorrow."
7-Eleven
- Our town has a crazy amount of 7-Elevens. Like, four within half a mile of us crazy and three more just past those. Included in this count is two that are NEXT DOOR TO EACH OTHER. My dad had us take him to 7-Eleven most days for a fountain drink and a newspaper. He'd by the kids Slurpees. We jokingly made a point of trying to go to different 7-Elevens each time so we'd hit everyone before he left town. Now when we see a 7-Eleven Little Guy yells out "7-Eleven, Mama. We get drinks. I want Slurpee."
Eating Ice
- My mom is an ice chewer. She tried to convert my kids but I don't think any of them was very fond of it. They do always want ice in their drinks now and ice is something else I rarely have on hand.
