Things that tickled me this past week:
This piece posted on the Red Dress Club by @MamaTrack, here Too funny!
The grandson playing with the extra plastic drain lines that didn't get used for the basement project. He had a riot with his "tunnels".
Hardware store toys are much cheaper than toy store toys.
And of course it's the best revenge when the grandkid is an angel until his mother comes to get him. Then he becomes an accomplished button pusher.
I remember those times.
Watching the granddaughter twist Grampa right around her tiny finger. She must be held by him almost the entire visit.
Making checks on the yard as it gets a bit warmer. I love seeing the buds peeking out.
Finally seeing roots start on the pussy willow cuttings a customer brought me. Probably going to plant them this week.
Watching the tomato seedlings get stronger. Need to get bigger peat pots now.
Visiting with my twitter friends.
What tickled you lately?

I Am Not a Doting Grandmother
Yesterday I got to babysit for the grandkids again
Yes. I'm that annoying Gramma with the perfect grandchildren.
The granddaughter is 3 months now. She does 3 month old stuff. Eating, spitting up after eating. Pooping, smiling after pooping. Crying cause the diaper is dirty. Smiling again in a dry diaper.
She is also trying to roll over. She is a Genius.
The grandson is all kinds of 2 year old BOY.
Grandpa has a bunch of plastic tubes, connectors and pieces to replace the old drain lines in the basement. They are also the best toys in the entire universe.
The boy spent the entire day dragging them around. Trying to put them together. Propping the long line up and rolling a ball, pen, kaleidoscope, battery and back scratcher from top to bottom. Over and over. And over.
His vocabulary is increasing daily. I can understand most of what he says now. He says Gampaw, but hasn't figured gramma out yet. My name this week was mostly "cracker?", but at least I knew what he wanted.
His mother has a potty chair for him. The kind with the duck. When the duck gets wet, it quacks. He doesn't ask to go yet, but if she puts him on it, he goes.
She is in for a challenge with this kid. Last potty use, she rinsed and emptied the little bucket. After she replaced it, this boy, ran his finger across the bottom. Stuck it in his mouth. And said ahhh.
Daughter speaks, probably loudly," NO!!! That is disgusting!"
Boy looks at his mother. Grins.
And does it again.
I love this boy!
