Better day

When the boys woke up this morning, I fixed German pancakes and served them with strawberries. Luke ate his breakfast and then asked for a blueberry muffin. I got both boys dressed and ready to go by 9:00---they didn't get up until around 8:30. "Good Grandma". I've also set the timer for Luke. He can play on the Internet for 30 minutes but then he has to play with Grayson for 30 minutes. I won't set the timer for the "play with Grayson" session----I figure they'll play a lot longer than thirty minutes, and so I'll just give them as long as they need. "Good Grandma".

Mike is going out to mow the lawn this morning. It's getting a little warm, but it needs to be done. He was planning on doing it Tuesday afternoon when he woke up from his nap, but it was 4:00 and way too hot outside. I suggested he get up early in the morning and do it before it gets too hot. He asked me if I know CPR. I told him that I know 911. Well, he didn't get up until after 10, so it's going to be hot.

When he finishes taking care of the back yard, I think I'll let the boys play outside in the sprinklers------oh, I guess we can't do that---watering ban. Hmmm. Maybe I'll go get a little wading pool.....or send Mike for one.

I have a baby shower today for Marissa Bohn Welsh. She's having a girl. I need to get something made for her. I also have some projects I need to finish for Hayley---some mending. I guess I'll whip out the sewing machine and "play" for awhile....I also want to make a shirred dress for Elizabeth and Rebekah. I'm re-shirring a top that Hayley purchased, so that will give me a little practice. Here goes.... (going to wait until tomorrow to start studying on my master's course).
