WHO PUT THE WORD "BREAK" AT THE END OF "SPRING BREAK?"

This is Spring Break week in Odessa. Since April will be working, I will be keeping Cameron, Brennon, and Kielyn. Our Aubreigh will be joining us in a few days. Fun, fun, fun at Mamma's Day Care! Bring on Spring Break, 2011.

Priceless Moment

With a houseful of grandkids, quality individual times come rarely. Tonight was a night to remember with Joel, my little "Sugarbear." Aubreigh went to stay with her Daddy, so for once, Joel was the only grandchild spending the night. I commented to Steve that I believe this to be the first such night in his entire life. Because he had lost his first tooth, I pulled out a very special book for our nighttime story. "Little Rabbit's Lose Tooth" was purchased for his mommy, Natalie by Steve in 1985 on the occassion of her first pulled tooth. The opportunity to read the same book to my little grandson was quite heartwarming. After the book, he put his tooth under his pillow and asked how the tooth fairy would get his tooth and deliver her prize. He told me that if she lifted his pillow, he would feel it and wake up. He said, "She must have magic that makes the tooth fly out from under the window." I said, "Yes, there is magic." This was a priceless moment. The kind that I live for.

A FAIR TRADE ????

Last Thanksgiving, Steve and I became foster grandparents to "Cassie," Natalie's Sheltie. Now that she has a good yard for Cassie, it was time to return her to her family.

Natalie and I agreed to meet on Saturday, March 14 in Sonora to trade Cassie for Joel and Aubreigh. She got a very well mannered doggie. I got two kids. A FAIR TRADE ???? I think not!

Don't tell my mama that Cassie helped me drive. She'll never let me out on the road again!

Goodnight, kids.
