Tomorrow is Saturday, and my husband and I will have -- voluntarily, mind you -- four of our grandchildren to ourselves for about 5 hours. Now, you have to understand that they are all boys and range in age from 15 months to 3 years and 3 months old! WHAT WERE WE THINKING?
Two of the boys, the youngest and the oldest, are brothers, and the other two are cousins -- well, they're all cousins to each other, but only two of the boys are siblings. We offered to take the two brothers so their parents could attend a conference in Raleigh, and then we informed the other mothers that we'd be glad to have the other two boys over so all of them could play together. We have plans -- to play outside on the swingset; to run around the yard and play catch; to quietly (we hope!) watch a Veggie Tales video; to take a walk up and down the cul-de-sac; and to make smushy things out of Play Doh! Oh, and we'll try to get the lively little arms and legs to sit still long enough to read a story to them! Do you think we'll succeed?
I'll let you know who comes out relatively unscathed -- the grandkids or the grandparents! Have a great Saturday!
