almost easter.

Last Friday,

I picked up Lucy,

and we proceeded to have an

exceptional

Lucy ~ Grammy

 weekend.

First off, we went to see Cinderella.

Such a feel good movie

to see with your granddaughter.

We had hot, buttered popcorn,

and shared a Sprite with two straws.

Next stop was Red Lobster,

 where we cracked some crab legs together.

Then home

to watch part of Harry Potter ~ movie one.

At 9:30, bleary eyed,

I looked at her and said,

"Lucy, I have to go to bed."

We finished it the next morning.

Upon arising,

we made cinnamon rolls

and ate them together with granddaddy.

At some point,

we dyed twelve eggs.

We left then, went downtown,

and had brunch at the

Funky Brunch Cafe.

Home again,

I sent Lucy out back with

balloons, vinegar, and baking soda

to do some experiments

so that I could help granddaddy get ready for the

dinner party that we hosted that evening.

Nothing exploded,

and it bought me a little time.

At some point we played checkers

at which she beat me soundly

because my brain was fried by then.

If you look at the picture, you will notice a big pot.

She poured a little bit of all twelve dye

colors into that pot 

and then plopped in an unboiled egg

which promply got broken and made a huge mess.

All that to say this...

I love Grammy ~ Lucy days!!!

I mean it...

I really do.

Resting and recuperating this weekend....:)
