We had three of the grandkids overnight last weekend.  What an adventure!  First we went to Barnes & Noble Bookstore.  They've got signs all over, advertising the Harry Potter party in a few weeks.  We're definitely going.  It's so interesting seeing so many people in costume.  Anyway, the kids had their favorite drink from the cafe....Caramel Steamers!  I also bought a box of Godiva deluxe chocolates while we were there and told the kids that we were all going to pig out on chocolates the next day.....Mmmmmmm.

The next day, I was being a "sleepy head", so my 4-year-old grandson decided to come in my bedroom.  For some reason, I just "woke up" and saw him standing right in front of me, just looking at me and smiling.  Well, I couldn't resist...and I lifted him up in my bed, but found out that he wanted ME to get up!  Oh well, no sleeping late when the kids are here!

I put out some sliced apples to snack on and was going to make breakfast...but the "vote" was overwhelming!  They all wanted that box of chocolates for breakfast!  Hey...This is a special occasion, and the kids aren't going to come down with some mysterious illness just by eating those deluxe chocolates for breakfast one day, so I broke open the box.  But FIRST, I had to teach them how to eat and savor those deluxe chocolates.  I told them, "Take a little bite...close your eyes...just savor the creamy taste...and say "Mmmmmmm".  Well, they did pretty good at that!!

Then we went on a "nature walk" around the area here.  We collected leaves, clover, stones, and even some little frogs that were in a manmade pond!

Then we took off to go to a fireworks stand where we bought "tons" of fireworks!  And guess what we're going to do with them.......

 

Dear Rainbow,

Thank you so much for dropping by and caring.

You're looking forward to going to the Harry Potter party at the bookstore in a few weeks? Well, on the same date, I'll finishing off packing to travel to the land of the Kami (Japan), as you know.

You'll have a little thought for me, won't you?

I've no longer any reasons to fear for my Beloved Ones, now that I've the proof that they're on this side, and not into the Other, and that we'll be reunited once more one day...

And you know what? You're in for it! This time, you're on my Friends' list!

With Love,

Sam.

Happy 4th July sweets

I hope today is a wonderful day - I'd love to see your fireworks but I'll just imagine them instead :)

Well, you're just such a wonderful grandmother - deluxe chocolates for breakfast - you're bad.

Well, I figure that grandparents are here to spoil their grandchildren.

Glad to hear you had a great 4th. Sorry this is a bit late, but the spirit is still in it!

Sounds like you had a fantastic 4th! Everyone should have at least one morning where they blow off breakfast and indulge on chocolate..though the walk after should be mandatory as well,lol.

that sure sounds like a scrumptious breakfast, i for one would love to have one. Godiva deluxe chocolates... hmmm.... :D

I so love chocolates!

Hope you enjoyed the 4th. I'm at the last of 12 days away from work and it was wonderful. Tried to stay off the computer but had to log on a few times for various things. Back to the grind tomorrow.

thats right we have to teach them how to eat chocolate! I hope you had a great time with them!!!!!!
