An Evening With Erin & Jill

Bobby and I stayed with Erin and Jill last night, and as we've come to expect, they were delightful. We've been told that the two of them go through skotch tape like you wouldn't believe, working on their various craft projects. So last night Erin was telling me the reason they were using the glue stick was that the tape was gone. I asked, "gosh, I wonder who used up all the tape?" Erin subtly rolled her eyes and nodded her head towards Jill. So I just nodded like I caught on, that the little sister was the lone culprit.

Then when tucking Jill into bed, she turned on her CD player, but told me she wasn't sure how to get the 'repeat' part of it working. I was leaving the room and I assured her that if she wanted to hear the CD again, "all you have to do is call me." Jill, replied while laughing..."On the phone?" No, silly. Not on the phone.

We got to hear Jill sing Over the Rainbow in horse language, and Erin sang Tommorow for us, while we were playing school. Spinning a fork on the dining room table, asking a question, and seeing who the fork pointed to when it stopped! That was a popular game for the dinner table. Thanks Grampy. Who can run the fastest? Spin the fork! Points to..... Who likes cinnamon roles the most? Spin the fork! points to.... Who can build the best snowman? Spin the fork! You get the picture. They loved it. Anyway..fun, fun, fun.

Love it. Over the Rainbow in horse language. Why am I surprised?! Can there be any more talented granddaughters than these?
