Adventures in Babysitting

 John and I headed up to Oshkosh on Saturday to do our grandparent babysitting duty which we always do without any arm twisting or complaint.
In fact, this time I asked if Courtney and Paul wouldn't like to go out after her craft fair on Saturday.
Tizita is opening her big Valentine card.  I  found them at Walmart for only three dollars.
Both girls were excited with such a big card.
 Tiz was equally excited with her new diapers for her Baby Alive.
 After lunch we went over to Beckets for the craft show.
We easily spent two hours there visiting with Courtney at her booth, getting our photos taken with cute props, making valentines, and listening to and dancing to live music.
Here is Soli enjoying a sucker from the photo booth.  She is also sporting a headband that Courtney made..
 After the craft show and some playtime at home, we went to Cranky Pat's for pizza.  We all love Cranky Pat's, it's fun for kids and the pizza is very good.
Tiz ate seven pieces, a new record for her.
 Soli enjoyed four pieces.
A large pizza was just enough for the four of us.
 Tizita Turner decided she wanted to take up drumming, so she set up her own little drum set and used two knitting needles as her drumsticks.
 The green wig added to the whole rock scene.
That girl sure has rythmn and she can sing.
 After church, we had lunch and then snuggle time with both girls.
 Then is was time for a spin on Tiz'ita's little car.
It was Soli's first time as a passenger and she loved it.
 The best part was that Tiz loved making Soli laugh as much as Soli loved the ride.
 Then it was my turn.
I used to ride with Tiz when she was smaller and less capable of steering and working the car which runs by you turning and using your body weight.
Well, this time, we were really moving.
One minor mishap with a wall was the only casualty.
What a very fun weekend.
I love those girls and love being their gramdma.

The best part of growing ols as a parent is getting to be a grandparent. I love these girls, too. Our lives and life together, would be completely different without them.
