Andrew's New Pet

Oh that Grandma Herme. When Andrew was over her house they went for a walk and saw some roosters. Ever since then Andrew has been fascinated by this ... animal.   Last weekend raul brought home a bag of things from Herme. There were Christmas mugs, a tablecloth, and then there was a ceramic rooster dish set. At first I thought "awesome" she bought me a new dish set. Um, no. She bought Andrew the dish set it. I thought that was cute and thoughtful.

Then, last night grandma cameover to decorate the kids bedrooms for Christmas, very cute. Do you see what's on the corner of Andrew's bed? Yup, a rooster. His very own metal, sharp -- rooster.
Of course he loved it.

Andrew also inherited a rooster place mat and a rooster mat, which is really meant for the kitchen sink but Herme thought it would be cute in the shower, and it kind of is.

Here is a picture of the rooster ensemble.

Adam loved the rooster too and of course now they fight over it and Herme said she'll buy Adam a wooden one. Awesome.

Grandma's

We all love them, and we all appreciate them, but sometimes....they can do crazy grandma things.  Saturday night grandma cameover to baby sit for us while we went out.  The kids were so excited to see her, and why not, she had cookies and pizza in hand.

Raul and I had a nice night out with our friends. We haven't been out in awhile, so it was good for us to spend some time together.  We ate, drank and danced and now i'm still paying for it with a cold, grrrrr. But, it was so much fun.

When we got home that night I went to the bathroom to find this:

Yes, that is hair all over the bathroom sink. Evidence of some hair cutting from Ms. Grandma.  When I woke up the next morning and saw the kids, their hair was fine as it always is; a bit short but cute.

However, as I approached the kitchen, I see Herme filling water balloons in the kitchen sink and giving them to the kids to throw in the house.  Then the kids carried the water balloons towards the computer, awesome.  Raul guided our little water balloon tossers out to the backyard with Grandma. whewww.

We love those Grandma's, but they are silly sometimes.
