These precious cake toppers I won from Maureen @ http://arosewithoutathorn.blogspot.com/.
Ansel & Tatiana had a grand time baking & decorating.
Thank you Maureen, these will bring years of delight to all the kid-lings.
Miss Tatiana baking orange cupcakes ...
She is quite the baker ...
Decisions galore ... so many to choose from ...
Sampling the goodies ...
Alyssa chose pink & purple as they are her favorite colors ...
Her lips tell the tale of her sweet tooth ...
Shooting marbles with Mimi, it was TOO hot to go outside ...
Little Miss Run Thru Her Money informed me she was broke & 'I need money' ... I suggested she earn the money. 'What can I do Mimi?' We decided she could earn money for putting the dishes in the dishwasher up, dust & mop (where they had made a mess) ... she liked the idea.
Tatiana wanted me to know she 'was very careful when I touch things, Mimi'. I told her how proud of her I was.
She was adorable ...
... even remembered to take her shoes off in the front room.
Great job, Tatiana.
Ansel asked me to ' ... do a blog' of his new Legos he got. He whips those creations together in a snap.
Beautiful, Ansel, just beautiful!
And, of course, Ansel desired to earn money also ... he loves to garden so he pulled up baby Maple trees.
Great job, Ansel!We are so proud of you both ... All our love & thank you for another beautiful fun-filled visit ... the days go by too quickly.
Love, Mimi & Poppy

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post, I can just tell you are a such a loving mimi!
Too cute, I like how you did a blog of the Legos :-)
Good Morning Sweet Sis...
ReplyDeleteI so love this post. Ansel and Tatiana look as though they have grown so much since April. I just do not know where the time has gone.
Ansel, I love your Lego creations. You are bound for greatness sweet boy. I can hardly wait to see what you become one day. (I also see you love gardening just like your Mimi.)
Tatiana what a beautiful job you did cleaning for Mimi. You look so sweet dusting the shelves, and I can tell that you were careful. It is good to earn your money.
I can see the baking was fun, and every one including Short Britches enjoyed eating. I hope you saved one for me. I LOVE cupcakes.
Hope the storms roll through fast, and leave no damage behind.
Many hugs sweetie and so much love, Your Lil Sis, Sherry
Your grandchildren are so cute, and they obviously enjoyed their day cooking with you. I would have enjoyed it all too!
ReplyDeleteMicki
Very smart of you to have them earn the money. It kept them busy and taught them a little about having a work ethic, too.
ReplyDeleteThey're such cute kids, and obviously are having a great time.
I found you because you so sweetly stopped by my blog. I enjoyed reading about your time with those two beautiful grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteI also just loved browsing your sidebar! One minute I was nodding... the next I was giggling. Those are really good!
Marydon, your grandchildren are beautiful. What fun you have been having this summer AND memories for you and them.:-)
ReplyDeleteYour grandchildren are so beautiful! It looks like they had a grand time with Mimi and Poppy!
