Living dolls
Last weekend, I had my little grand nieces to come spend the night with me. There are actually 4 children, but only the two girls came this time, the older girl is Olivia Gabrialle ( Gabby ) who is 14 and the smaller is Kaelynn who is 8. Both girls are as sweet as can be, but it was super cold and they, ( I think ) like a lot of children , refuse to wear socks and good shoes, no matter how cold it gets and layers of clothes, like we older people do. I was worried about them being cold as, they have central heat at home, but we have heaters throughout the house. I did my best to keep it comfortable for them. Their mama was surely going to have something to say about all the junk food we had. Hamburgers, chips, donuts, chocolate milk and pizza. Normally I would have cooked a good meal for them, but it was terribly cold, so we were bundled up in front of the TV or back in the paint room working. These kids live about a 30 to 40 minute drive away from us, so we can see them a lot more now. Be kind to us when looking at the pictures, nobody was concerned about their looks, and we looked pretty bad, especially me. Have you ever seen High school musical or Daddy Day care, well I have now, as that is the two movies Kaelynn picked out at the flea market we went to, and we watched all of these that night. Enough singing and dancing for a long time. Haha. They painted two of the rag dolls I had made the next day and kaelynn rummaged in the dolls clothes box until she found them a dress apiece and two hats. They also decided to paint the rabbit and cat pin keep dolls. I sure did enjoy them and I believe they had fun. We went to McDonalds for supper and had Mcchicken Sandwiches, chicken nuggets, hamburgers, fries. I know. TERRIBLE, but I don't get them very often and took them where they wanted to go. this summer when they com
e back, we will do better, and they can swim at the beach all day, and watch as many high school musicals as they want to. I guess I better start saving up for our next shopping trip, as everything Kaelynn sees at the flea market is CUTE. Kids are great and just being with them and seeing how their minds work at this age is wonderful. Bless their little hearts. We just love them to pieces.

It sounds like you and the girls had such fun! Snuggled up watching movies, letting the girls pick out the food, painting dolls....these are the cherished memories! Your granddaughters are beautiful. Thanks for sharing your photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the girls had a wonderful time at your house. They have surely made wonderful memories! Nothing wrong with spoiling them! I will be going to my niece's to baby sit with Ava for a week, while they go on vacation. I'm excited, but she's 2 and very busy.............I'll be worn out and probably won't get much else done!
ReplyDeleteMartha, living dolls indeed. What fun you all must have had. They will cherish those doll forever and the timer spent with you. I also want to add spoil away..... I now I would. Thanks for sharing your precious moments.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely time together....I have such fun with my granddaughters from time to time.....their dolls are sweet. Blessings
ReplyDeleteYour nieces must have had a grand time visiting you. What could be more fun than painting dolls with Aunt Martha? And, who know one, or both, of the girls just might follow in their aunt's footsteps.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you got to share your Doll world with them! They will never forget the time they spent with you--not because of the junk food, but because of the creative freedom and fellowship you shared with them. What a blessed time!
