Grandma's Day

Melissa came over that morning (Monday) and watched Isaac while I took our foster child to his therapy.  We got home and visited for a minute then it was time for her to go to teach, and time for lunch.  Lunch went so smoothly and that is saying a lot when you have 5 kiddos -- 6 and under.  Edward was content to play in his bouncy chair and watch the big kids eat.  We finished lunch in under 40 minutes.   We cleaned up the toys and played Mario Kart with Isaac and Ethne - each with their own controllers.  I dont think there was one "No Igaac" which in itself is amazing since he tends to tease Ethne.  We then sat and read books.  Ethne made sure I knew I missed a page and needed to start over.  We read for about a half an hour or so, and I thought what a perfect day it had been.  I wondered if I would have more like this and the spirit let me know this was a perfect day.  We then got in the car and ran some errands.  As we drove the Phineas and Ferb CD was in.  Everytime Candace or Perry came on Ethne would say "Candace Candace!"  As we headed home Melissa texted me that she was there.  The garage door was open when I pulled up, Josh was working on his car and Melissa was sitting on the steps just talking with Josh, I thought again, this is how Family is supposed to be.  We then got all the stuff in the car for Ethne and Edward in the car.  Ethne asked me for a yogurt so I went and got one, gave it to her, buckled her in, gave her a kiss, I shut the door and I said "grandma loves you"   Melissa drove off.  I got the call a half hour later. 

Grandma loves you Ethne Sue.
