When any one of my granddaughters is here, we have fun. But when all 3 of the younger girls get together, there is never a dull moment. I may leave a few prompts or props for them to find (new stuff in the dressup trunk, empty boxes, beads and shells with the art supplies, and plenty of fresh fruit and veggies for creating snacks), but the ways they come up with to use those things never fail to keep me laughing.
Last weekend we were grateful for heavy afternoon rains on both days. But climbing trees and dancing in the rain changed to indoor play when thunder and lightning deemed it necessary. Undaunted, they retired to the bedroom where the dressup supplies are kept. A few minutes later, when I checked on them, I found Skye with her turban wrap reclining on the chaise lounge and was told they were having a Spa day! Furthermore, they needed cucumber slices for their eyes. What's a grandmother to do but slice up a garden fresh cucumber and deliver?
Maddie and Jordann added their veggie beauty aid and lounged on a mountain of pillows.
But apparently the under 10 set does not require lengthy lounging. In fact, it makes them hungry!
So they ate their cucumbers, which probably beat anything else for a refreshing treatment!
I love being a grandmother! Who needs a day at a real Spa? I don't need cucumbers to make me glow!
