it was way better than washing windows.

best laid plans
the little girl was here this afternoon, quite unexpectedly. gone were my plans to wash windows, work in the garden, and dine late in the evening. instead there were sandboxes and shovels, spiral slides and hanging bars, and water in a spray bottle to water the flowers and wash the house. later, chicken for dinner with veggies to dip and milk in a cup. the serendipitous day ended with a splashy bath, a towel-ish snuggle, and a lovely soapy smell to her damp hair.

Your priorities sound like mine. Grandchildren are life's greatest reward.
how fun to play with a granddumpling
instead of washing windows!
Yup......grandkids are WAAAAY better than washing windows! I think I'm gonna retire soon and start babysitting mine full time :)
Good for you! some of life's best distractions, right there.
Kids are the best, nothing else gives you more satisfaction....
I will not even begin to paint a picture of my three days with two toddlers...not nearly so placid and organized as your time sounds.
I'm glad for you that the little girl was there. So many sweet memories.
Oh yeah! Serendipity at its best.
Sounds like the evening became one that will generate great memories.

The unplanned spontanious days always do seem to be the funnest, To cheris them is a wonderful reminder to all of us, at any age. The day you had does sound much more fun then the one you planned.
i love those kind of days.
It's never what you had planned that works out the best! How cute.
This is pure win. Reminds me when I would take the day off and spend time with my three year old.
Perfect way to spend a day!
I really enjoy the pictures you paint with your words!
A soapy smell, i love that smell after a good scrubbing bath!!!!ee
I love to read your posts about little girl. You see I have two daughters and it is nice to see the perspective of the grammie (his mother) and nana (my mother)side of the fence. Awesome job!
