Grandkids on a Sunday Night

These are the discarded dolls, mostly boys, outside the grandkids playroom. Who decided the fate of those involved in the doll massacre?
Why, these darling little girls who call themselves "angels" and are wearing light stick halos. Notice the winning girl dolls in the background.
What's up with that frog in the box? Sadie can push the button and then dance to "Jeremiah was a Bullfrog." Sadie can really bust some great moves.
Toby was banned from the playroom along with the dolls, what with being a boy and all. He was especially enamored with the light sticks and doesn't seem to be taking it personally.
Grandpa bought some beading kits for his favorite little ones. TJ gets a bit of help from his mom to put together a great piece of neckwear.

Prior to the later inside pictures (grandma finally thought to grab her camera;) this gang of five had watered their pea and nasturtium pots, hung out in the greenhouse, eaten dessert at the outdoor cafe, floated some ducks in the pool, and helped grandpa light a fire in the outdoor fireplace. Our 80 degree plus days were chased out by a wind from the north today, so everyone soon chose to be inside.

Thanks for a good time last night, Laurel. The kids had tons of fun. After a long weekend of partying, they are still asleep - it's going to be hard for them to get back to the grind and go to school!

Raymond said, "Toby! Watch? Toby? Again? Picture?" Toby seems to have made an impression. Those poor boy dolls.

Our "real" baby dolls are doing well. Henry is getting over the flu- that's been rough. Raymond has been going in the bike trailer in the sunny, but not warmer, weather.
