Aloha day two

What a busy day! Tommy went through the door at school at 7:54 a.m. and Jonah and Grandma went back to the house to finish breakfast. Then we went to the greenhouse to transplant tomatoes for Aunt Jenn, Uncle David and Grandma. Jonah filled the flat with soil while I watered some wilting perennials. Then he poked holes in the soil with the dibble and we planted the tomatoes. Here is a picture of the tomatoes that Jonah planted with Grandma. He did a great job. Maybe tomorrow we will go and plant some flower baskets.




We went home to get Baby J and when he woke up we went back to the greenhouse so our friend Mike could run an errand. Both boys found plenty of things to do. It’s amazing how much you can do with empty pots and planters!
















Did you know that if you blow bubbles in front of a fan, it will suck in the bubbles?






Hmmm. Does this look familiar?






This really was his idea- honest!



Before we picked up Tommy, Grandma and Jonah decided to get some more toys and games at the store. Then we drove over to the school for Tommy. We spent a little time at the house checking out the new toys and then ran errands together. Once we got back to the house, Grandma parked outside and we all played Web Ball, one of our new games, in the garage because it was too cold and windy to play outside.



After a fun bath, the boys said goodnight to Grandma and went downstairs with Grandpa to listen to the first chapter of Bunnicula.

Aloha day one

Well, today is day one of a record-setting day (for Grandma and kids). The longest Camp Grand Nana ever.

Jonah arrived this morning excited about going swimming (which, sadly, won't happen for three days). He polished off a pancake and helped Grandma watch JJ. This involved lots of sliding, swinging and bubble blowing. Uncle David helped Jonah swing the highest and fastest he has ever gone. I could see his face and hear a delighted little giggle. He was totally into it. We also went downstairs to make sure the bunk beds were ready to go. Jonah explained that he wanted the bottom bunk so that he wouldn't fall.

After we picked Thomas up from school we had snacks (big snacks) and spent time outside swinging (Tommy is going to have huge, muscly arms if pushes Jonah that much every day) and inside doing homework. The boys also met and played with new friends in our neighborhood.

We had dinner and then went to the store to get groceries and trail snacks and treats for our little adventure this week.

Thomas read us "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and Grandma read "Naughty Monkeys." Then the boys headed to bed. Thomas had been wanting to go to bed since about dinner time- he was sure he was totally worn out. But then when he climbed up onto the top bunk and Jonah climbed onto the bottom it was so exciting that both boys were suddenly wide-eyed and awake. We realized that the bottom bunk was a little like a cave-perfect for Jonah's bear, "Teddy," and that the top bunk was perfect for Tommy's cat, "Sammy," because cats like to be up high.


Here is a picture of Jonah with his new friend.
