It’s another babysitting weekend with the grandgirls (ages 4 and 6 - almost 5 and 7, as they are very quick to remind us).  They both have birthdays within the next ten weeks, and they’re already planning their respective parties.  Their mom and dad took a weekend off to visit Chicago with some friends, and we are fortunate to have the girls staying with us.  The youngest has already shown RT how to play “Webkinz” on his laptop.  It’s amazing to see a 4-year old show a 60-year old how to use his own computer.  But she did it.  The 6-year old knew all the login names and passwords.

Tomorrow the elliptical machine and weight bench I bought almost two weeks ago will be delivered and set up.  We got the upstairs “exercise room” ready for it this evening.  Getting it ready consisted of taking the two rectangular mats out of their boxes and placing them on the floor where we want the two machines to be. 

Sweet Stuff was walking around with a large crystal geode up to her ear this evening.  She was pretending it was a cell phone.  It was a funny image.  For some reason Sunshine (4-year old) got homesick around 9:30 p.m.  Probably because we were letting them stay up too late.  They know how to use my cell phone - all the quick dial codes.  So they can pick up my phone and know that all they have to do is hit the “3″ and the call will go to their mother.  So Sweet Stuff called her mother, and Sunshine cried into the phone.  I assured our daughter that she was fine and that she was having a great time.  She was just tired.  I hope the phone call didn’t dampen their enjoyment of their weekend away.
