Wrap Up

I’ve been off in my own little world for the last few days for various reasons. The best reason is that I got to spend Saturday with my favorite three and a half year old little girl, Miss Savannah Rose!

As time draws near, for Savi’s baby brother to arrive, her parents decided to go out and have a real date day. I got there at lunch time, and stayed overnight.

And oh, what fun we had!

We danced, we played dress up, we read books, we played with jigsaw puzzles, and when Oma was tired, we watched Cartoon movies.

Puzzle time

  Dressing up

Even Oma dresses up.

Apples, from Papa.

I made her dinner. You know, the kind of dinner that all Oma’s are good at. I made chicken nuggets, corn and wait for it…..potato puffs!

Savi ate everything, and for dessert, I had brought a mini chocolate cake, and she got a piece of that! I mean, how good does it get?

About 8:15 I started reading books to her, and she lay in bed and listened to my words. I am not a great person to read out loud, but Savi does not seem to notice and loves it when I read to her.

By 8:30 she was nestled, all snug in her bed, and drifted off to sleep. I went down to the kitchen, popped open a beer and then sat quietly and watched the Australian Open match between Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber. All I can say it that the match was incredible, and it could have gone either way. In the end Kerber won, and I was in awe of both of these talented women.

Mandy and Matt got in about 10 PM and we talked for a bit before Mandy and I hit the hay. I love their guest room bed, and I slept pretty well.

This morning I was up and gone pretty early, stopping for gas at a local Warehouse Club ($1.65 a gallon!) before arriving home to my happy husband and four happy doggies!
