Tuesday With Chloe, Claire, and Chris !

Our favorite day this past week came on Tuesday. We were able to spend a few hours with the three C's. When it warmed up enough to go outside we immediately put the jackets on for some fresh air ~~ minus the sunshine. Chris was so happy to be out and what a busy little fellow he was. He made it half way up the steep driveway before I could get him, tried to work in Mommy's soon to be herb garden, and was curious about everything in his sight. Claire and Chloe got on their bikes first thing and did some practice riding. Yes, Claire's helmet strap looks uncomfortable, but that is the way she insisted that she likes it.

Chris, with a little encouragement from Papa and me, finally decided to ride his own little ATV bike. He really thought he should be on the big bikes like his sisters.

Chloe is concentrating very hard....

And then has a "moment" over something that really disturbed her....

But, as usual, it sure didn't last long, and our happy little girl was back!

We sure enjoyed our day, and as I have said numerous times on this blog, our time with the Grandchildren is the highlight of our weeks.

Had a fun lunch after church today with the kids. Mike and Paula relayed this funny event from yesterday. Mike had taken the girls to the pet shop to look around and when they returned home Claire went directly to Paula (who was still in her pj's) and said, "Mommy you sure look beautiful, can we get a hamster?" Apparently Mike had told the girls on the way home that there wasn't anything they could say that would convince Mommy that they should have a hamster but apparently Claire thought she would give it her best shot. I applaud Paula for standing her ground, I had so many creepy little creatures in my home as Mike, Jon, and Suzie were growing up and I wouldn't wish that scene on anyone! We do have some hilarious stories from those days, but even so, I don't like creatures in the house.

Have a happy spring filled week!
