Next Week We are Having - Five Days of Fun!

Last year Josiah and Caleb spent four days with their Poppa and I while their parents took a little trip - we called this our, "Four Days of Fun"! This year, Josiah, Caleb and Shane will be staying with us for "Five Days of Fun"!!!! . . . next week will be wonderful - and busy around my house for sure!

So, I have a few plans for these, "Five Days of Fun" . . . I'm going to buy white t-shirts for the boys and cans of T-Shirt Spray Paint! Last year we made tie-dye shirts; this year the boys should have lots of fun spray-painting their shirts!!!

Depending on how "brave" . . . or perhaps, "crazy" I am, we might let the boys help paint their playground (Josiah picked out Perry the Platypus turquoise) . . . time will tell on this one!!!

We are sure to read a lot of books, do a lot of water painting and are likely to spend time playing board games! (When Josiah was at my house Saturday, we played Monopoly - which he beat me royally! He told me he; "Stomped me into the ground, danced on my head and slammed me into the wall one million times!!!" How such a sweet boy can be so accomplished at "trash talking" is beyond me!!!!)

I think it would be fun to add a "chimes" element to the boys playground . . . they could have a lot of fun helping with this and of course, if it is warm enough, we are likely to see them playing with water - squirt guns, squirt bottles, garden hose and maybe the pool - if it is warm enough!

So, what are your favorite things to do with your grandchildren when they spend time at your house in the Summer?
