Long overdue to post

Where have I been lately? (Not sure anyone notices my absence here). I have yet to figure out how to attract traffic to my Blog and, am too busy to do much about it. I have been incredibly busy, but it's all very positive. Though I am doing a lot for my family lately, I do not feel at all put upon. They are all helpful to me and we get along very well.

I have been babysitting my six and four-year-old grandchildren regularly lately. Yesterday, I tied a skipping rope to a fence post and helped Alysha jump rope. She got up to 12 by counting jumps and when she recited the alphabet she jumped up to the letter "L." I counted on my fingers up to the letter "L" and it was 12 jumps!

I was hoping to help Alsyha with her printing and reading, but we ended up outdoors, which really was a good thing after all the times being "cooped up" inside the house. Usually I only get to see them at dinnertime, and the short time before bedtime, but this time I stayed the night and babysat all Saturday morning.

I made KD for lunch, which they thought was wonderful. My kids are easy in some ways! I made sure they ate some apple to balance things out. They liked that too. Suprisingly, Alysha wanted to eat a red grapefruit so I halved one and cut all the sections with sharp knife and cut all around the circle of the skin to make removal of the sections easier for her. Then I tipped the sugar bowl on its edge and carefully poured a thin layer of granulated sugar over the surface of the half grapefruit. She decided she wanted the second half as well. That is a good thing, since kids can be picky about food and grapefruit is a healthy food to like.

Ethan wasn't as enthused about that, but he loves yogurt and I try to buy some little yogurts for them as well. (They both like that).

Well, I could go on and on, but it's late and it's going to be a busy week again.
