twinkle twinkle little star

... that would be the song I can't get out of my head after having the little boys here most of last week!  That song and the "Clean up. Clean up. It is time to clean up" song.  Linda and the boys went home last Thursday. But they were back yesterday.  The boys spent the day with me while John & Linda had a day to themselves. 

We played with cars on our street poster ...  and Jacob hung out with his buddy Fargo ...

We made cookies.  Anthony rolled the dough, cut the shapes, painted the tops and added sprinkles.  Jacob "supervised".

The cookie cutters needed to be washed, and stripping down seemed the best way to stay dry.

After lunch, Jacob napped while Anthony and I created with Play Doh.

We are so blessed to live close and be able to spend so much time with our grandchildren.  (And as an added bonus, Jacob can now say "Oma"!)

and then there were 5 ...

This is going to be a fun week!  John left for Phoenix AZ today for work.  He'll be gone for a week.  So ... Linda and the boys are moving in on Tuesday for a few days.  We're planning all sorts of fun things, mostly to keep A distracted because he's totally a Daddy's boy right now.  And the weather outlook is good so we can maybe do some outdoor stuff, too!

But that means I have to get the bulk of this week's work done tomorrow.  Yikes!  At least it's not a payroll week, so my workload is a bit lighter. Yay!  But I've got some church obligations  (meetings, elder visits to do, etc.) that I'll just fit in between everything else.  I'm looking forward to a fun week.

Here's a cool song.  We sang this in church today and I like it. Sorry about the occasionally cheesy visuals!
