Right after the Sat. PM session of conference, Eric and family joined us for hamburgers and hot dogs. The men left for the Priesthood session and it was time to pick the peas the kids had planted during their grandkids sleepover in February. Heather wanted to take a pea pod to everyone in her class. Toby and TJ were glad to let her have their pots harvest as well. She had a few beyond her required "28."
TJ isn't much for hamburgers or hot dogs either. Thank goodness grandpa shares his chocolate protein bars kept in the pantry. And I do mean plural.
Toby loved playing in the big box he found next to the trash can. He loved being shut in with the flaps closed.
TJ always likes to browse through the non-fiction books in the grandkids room. He found a how-to about building boats. There was more than one box in the pile so they used cardboard and left over paper plates and cups. Their only request - a roll of scotch tape.
Heather floats her boat. We retrieved them with my special gift from Ryan for my birthday, one of those gadgets one uses to pick things up without bending over. I knew it would someday become useful.

Heather is so thoughtful, T.J. is so creative, and Toby is so sneaky! It sounds like a fun afternoon!
Well, it has gotten WAY more cold since you left. We almost froze to death when I took the boys on a walk yesterday. Goodbye winter! I'm sure spring will be skipped and a heat wave will bring summer right in.
Heather loved taking the peas to her class. She also noticed a picture in her Fancy Nancy Butterfly book that showed Fancy Nancy's mother's garden - there's a stake in the garden proclaiming, "Fancy Nancy's Sweet Peas." Heather was so excited to be just like Fancy Nancy!
