Ten Dollars worth of Joy

Those that know me know I love to shop Thrift Stores!  Well......the other day I found something that just needed to follow me home......they sat in the garage until today.....because today was a day that Jase needed them.......

You will notice that they really are 'outside' toys.....so outside we went......First though we had to admire the sand table that Dad built and Mom painted just for Jase.....

Back up ther Dad.....you built this for me!

........................

now we have time for the new stuff...

zebras are nice...and fun to sit on...

.......but.......

.......there's just something 'special' about your first bike......

....especially if you have someone to help....

I think this was money well spent.......don't you?

this one I had to add because it just makes me smile....

Always fun.......

Yes......it is always fun when Jase comes over for a visit.....he even brings his parents just to be nice.  But we all know that children take a step back when a Grandchild is in the house.

Yesterday was no exception........only thing different is it is "March Madness".....so PopPa D is teaching Jase the importance of the 'season'.......

First make sure you have plenty of beverages.....

Then move over.......

....we have games to watch.........

It is OFFICIAL......

Angela, Jeffery and Jase are soon to be four!  I got a phone call on the 9th from Jeffery.....he just rambled on and on ....then finally asked if he and Jase could come by the next day........Of course!! ......but he just kept talking....until finally he asked if I wasn't just a little courious why they were coming over......

That is when he HAD to tell......."We are expecting!"........so sometime in November or December early I will be GramMa again.......

I have asked everyone I know to THINK PINK.....although I have told Angela that we will be happy with whatever she decides to gift us with..

This little one will make an even dozen.........

10 GrandGifts and 2 GrandChildren

I feel more than blessed...

some days are longer than others.....

Today was a busy day.....I spent most of it with my Boys......the Sea Bee and the Kid.......seems the Sea Bee has been wanting a few trees taken down at his homestead and the opportunity came along this week......so down go the trees.....but what do you do with all the bush and debris???  Why you rent a Chipper!!

                              

And if your little brother and Mom stop by........why that is just an added bonus!!

There was quiet a bit.........

                                                        



and before you knew it we had more volunteers......

Angela helped unload.....



.........and of course you need supervisors.......

.......and Jase advised when to stop and rest at the end......



Lots got done..the brush is gone..and I think we all got some good exercise.....
