Sleep-over

-

The great sleepover event of 2011 occurred the evening we celebrated Lydia's birthday.  We had cupcakes, of course, for desert at Laura and Matt's.  The world map behind me is a frequently used part of the house as the kids frequently need and ask for references of where who or what is.  They will not be ignorant of geography.  (nor much else if you ask me).  Anyway I digress.

after cupcakes it was time to move the girls to our apartment.  Among the things you get to do is try on Grandaddy's slippers, and use the i-phone camera.  (Julianna, really likes the i-phone and i-pad, she was the photographer for this action shot of me on the couch and Lydia on display.

another thing done was a lesson in knitting.  Patt, as is her custom, knitting for a future Grandchild, and Julianna was desirous of a lesson.  Not being one to deprive a grandchild, Patt taught and when one child gets attention,-- who else needs a little attention.

 Bedtime came, (just a little late Laura) and I read not one but two chapters of Wind in the Willows - or "wiwos" as Isaac calls it.  (We enjoy listening to him).

The next morning Matt & Laura, brought Isaac as they were off on errands.  Well we played Leggos, or weggos depending of who is doing the talking.

Julianna also spent some time writing an email to her parents.  The text consisted of a series of names.  Full discussions of issues of the day will be the subject of future emails .

 

and then it was back to Wind in the  wiwos.

Such a grand time.

If you look out the window you can see some of our neighbors.  We are on the 12th of 17 floors.  A tour of our apartment will come soon.
