This and That

Have you ever noticed that when you think about your life it seems that nothing is really happening? That is what I have been doing recently then I look and haven't blogged for three and a half weeks yet in reflection of that time things have happened.
First of all, last week Andy and Corrin went to Las Vegas for a convention. I haven't figured out why the State of Nebraska would send Andy to "Sin City" for more education, but it gave all the grandparents time with Emma and Lawson. A&C dropped Emma and Lawson off last Sunday at 9:00 in the morning. Grandparents Doug and Jackie were on their own trip coming home from Florida. Emma was sad as she understood Mom and Dad were leaving and Lawson said, "Come and get me Granpa!" You could just tell in his voice that he was concerned about M&D leaving! We had the kids until Doug and Jackie came to pick them up late in the afternoon. From then on, D&J would take care of the kids in the morning, getting them ready for school / daycare, Brenda would pick them up and bring them to our house where she would prepare to feed the kids and me. My main responsible was to come home and entertain them. I would walk in the door and would hear. "Come and get me Granpa!" I would change and play this game for a short time, then this would be followed up with, "Look granpa, I have puzzles." This means putting three jigsaw puzzles together (two Power Rangers and one Spiderman). This is very intense work as Lawson doesn't put up with any wrong placement of pieces. We would have to finish the puzzle we were working on before we could leave the coffee table for dinner - Lawson is a taskmaster! After dinner we would try to finish whatever task we have started before Doug or Jackie pick them up. I did have one very disappointing moment when Emma beat me in "Sorry" twice! I am sure this is why I was given this responsiblility.
