We got a Wii

My husband decided to buy us a wii on Friday. We got the sports version. It's so much fun. We had some of the grandkids over and they just had a blast. At first they thought Nana and Papa are too old for one. Then when we played with them they realized that we were not too old. Kids are so funny.



Wii is the only game my husband and I even considered buying because its the only game that you are actively involved and not just sitting on your bottom. I bowled with 3 of my gradkids from 11-7. Wii makes you feel like you are right at the bowling alley. All the games are so fun and you can get physically exhausted from playing. Wii is a great family game and I would recommend it to anyone you has children or grandkids. Heck tonight, only adults are home and we are still playing.

What Do You Do When You Don't Have A Sitter?

You make do and improvise. You either stay home or you take the kids with you. So we took the kids with us golfing. We all had a really good time. It wasn't too overly hot and we all played. Of course the grandkids, LaRyn and Christian who are only 9 and 6 didn't play eighteen holes. Instead we let them tee off and putt and that seem to make them happy. Christian made a hole in one on one of his putts and LaRyn learned to drive a golf cart.


The Twinkies LaRyn and Nana wore peach and Khaki while the others found some other non-conforming outfits. LOL





LaRyn loved learning to drive the cart. She also caddied for her mom and Nana.



LaRyn and Christian were quite naturals golfing, you would have think that had private lessons. It's amazing how well they played compared to Mom and Nana.




Everyone putting but my daughter, she sat this hole out and was able to get some pics.

Elton John Eat Your Heart Out!

Today we had to make another run to the party store. Of course my grandkids found something else they had to try on "glasses"!

Elton John was famous for his music but also his many pairs of funny and silly glasses. Well, my two grandkids had the pick of the litter sort of speak.


So here are their cute finds. There are too many to post so here are the best of the best. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.


Christian as guitar hero!


Lovely pretty pink lady!


The bat as Christian calls them and the smart teacher!


The ice cream man!


Swan Lake!


Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! I thought they reminded me of Wally's eyes, the little robot.


Cat Woman Hisss!


Red flames of fire!


Sending you some love and kisses!



This is my favorite Elton's song! Perfect for the event.
