What a Weekend!

My oldest daughter Brianna is the choral director for Sabino High School. Because she has to work I have the opportunity of watching her girls four days a week. (Their other grandmother has them the other day.) This Valentine weekend Brianna took her top choir to compete in the Jazz Madrigal Festival in Flagstaff Arizona. This gave me another chance to watch her girls.

We had quite a few activities planned for the weekend. One of which was making Valentine cookies. The kids actually made them twice, once with Cameron and Michele who watched them while Mar-Kay and I went out, and later with me. They turned out very nice especially considering that most of the frosting ended up on them or in their mouths.

The only real difficult part of the weekend was that these girls do not go to sleep at night, at least not at grandma’s house. They all started out in their own sleeping bags in Brigitta’s bedroom. Soon they were on the floor of my bedroom. Before we knew it, all three girls were in our bed and Mar-Kay was trying to keep warm in a Princess Sleeping Bag. (Now that was a true Kodak moment, but out of love for my husband I did not snap the shot.)

Arianna was too camera shy to join in the shot.

  1. Hey mom! Nice cookies. We ate ours on the way home last night. Arianna was very particular when it came to who got what cookie. It was cute. She is sad her picture is not on your blog...but perhaps next time she will let you take her picture. (heehee!)

  2. Tell Mar-Kay It takes a real man to sleep in a princess sleeping bag.

    It's hard for me to believe that you are a grandmother. How lucky that you get to spend so much time with your granddaughters, it sounds like you guys have lots of fun.
