More fun than a barrel of monkeys....

[ Edited ]

we watched our 4 1/2 year old grandson tonight.

 

He and I were discussing the fun we had tonight...hide and seek, racing and digging in the garden.

 

He said Grandma did we have fun? (spelling "fun" in scabble tiles)

I said, "Yes, it was more fun than a barrel of monkeys" 

 

It cracked him up!  everything was then  "a barrel of monkeys"

 

I'm also the grandma that said "whoops-a-daisy"  also a big hit!

That's so cute!!!  Our grandson just turned 3, and is at the point when you can carry on a conversation with him...which is a lot of fun.

 

We hadn't seen him in two weeks.  Usually we see him, and his baby sister, a couple of times a week.  When he got here, he ran and gave me a big hug and said "I missed you guys."  And, he looked like he teared up.

 

Grandbabies are THE BEST!!!

Being a Grandparent is a true blessing! 

 

You think you can't love anyone as much as your kids. Then you have Grands.   You fall in love all over again.

I always tell my husband that I love them so much that it feels like my heart is going to explode!
