It has been a marvelous week and a half being a full-time grandma! Red Skittle and I have had so much fun. He is my favorite side-kick! And I already miss him. We played cars, went to the park, visited with cousin friends, played games, went to a movie, went to church, celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary, etc. etc. etc. Being a full-time grandma is absolutely wonderful! ... aaaaannnnnd exhausting. Check out ALL of the activities (in not particular order):
Look at my little Batman!
Berry and Skittles shoots me with bubble guns!
Spending quality time with his second cousin!
Uncle Ken (or "Uncle Hen" as Skittles calls him) is the coolest!
Aunt GJ made shaped cinnamon toast for breakfast!
Huge win!
With cousins at the park!
Cantaloupe - Skittles - Juju Fruit - Licorice

BEWARE: Aunt Sundy is a spreader of ORANGE TONGUE DISEASE!
Cantaloupe and Juju Fruit show off the illness.
The Park was wonderful!
Do I love "kidnapping"?
Heck yes!
My definition of kidnapping is spoiling other people's kids like crazy and sending them home.
(I was glad my brother let me kidnap his three youngest with my grandson.)
Skylar, my youngest son, supplied me with legos for the week.
(Thanks, Skylar!)
They were a HUGE hit with Skittles ... and his cousins!
Licorice is teaching my grandson how to die. Apparently I'm too old to fall down on the ground to die (and so are his parents) so Licorice educated him. It was so fun to watch them sword fight with stick thingies from the trees.
He loved GJ's bubble gun!
We played a LOT of Candy Land. Skittles mostly won.
We also played Connect Four and Tic-Tac-Toe.
We're raising a board gamer!
Grandma bought 4 new cars for this kid. He loved them!
And coloring....
Grandpa took him to the park Saturday morning while I ran errands with my dad.
They through leaves and twigs in the water.
He loved hanging out with grandpa!
And grandpa sure loves him too!
Can you tell?!
Learning to write isn't easy.
Another day... another park!
And Skittles is killing it!
He also enjoyed playing on the piano.
And climbing rocks so he could be the "King of the Rock!"
Aunt Sheila also spent hours out of her busy schedule playing with him!
Skittles may only have one biological aunt, but we count GJ's daughters as aunts as well.
We made up lots of songs about love and Jesus and eachother.
Some of our songs were about dinosaurs, giraffes, and elephants.
I had forgotten how much fun it is just to sing and make up tunes and words.
And he also got to see another second cousin. We'll call him Coconut.
They loved playing cars!
And we celebrated our anniversary at Texas Roadhouse with Skittles. Yum!
I know this post is mostly about my amazing grandson,
but I would be remiss if I didn't mention how grateful I am to be married to Scott!
He brings me so much joy! We do so many fun things together!
I love you so much! I'm glad we have eternity ahead of us!
Being a grandma never looked so good!
I'm completely content being called Grandma!
I love you, my Red Skittle!
Love that red head!! 😘❤️
