Quick lessons learned from 'Down the Bayou'

“Family is more important than a magic show.” A-Nator
The girls worked all summer on their reading club and part of the reward was a big magic show they look forward to attending each year. Going to Granny’s house for their annual visit was a higher priority. Good choice, girls.

“You can have a good day even on your worst day.” Gracie
How dare Granny not pull out the trundle bed in her room… where she was sleeping alone? How much space does a girl need anyway? Oh, the life of a princess. Haha... Oh, and no worries, Granny. Gracie has ‘the worst day of her life’ at home sometimes too.

“I learned how to put clothes on a stuffed bear.” Gracie
She received a Build-a-Bear kit, had to put it together (or did Granny?), dressed it and we welcomed Sally into the family of dust collectors stuffed animals.

“A little bit of French.” A-Nator
Is this what she was talking about?

(nice freeze frame there, mr. blogger)

Let's see. I learned…

My girls really love care packages… and according to Granny, can get equally excited over a package of razors (because we forgot to pack them) as they do new Webkinz.

My girls look like Hoops & Yoyo when excited… See?

Breaks are nice, but it's good to have them back home... even if I didn't get my whole "to-do" list done. I set my bar too high anyway.

There's more, but I'll stop here. My girls are home and they are rising to call me blessed want breakfast.
