Baskets Are Best










We all spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa Orchard's yesterday. Isabella and Cherokee are heading back to California for a while unless of course CA sends them back because of the newly claimed bankruptcy in the state.
Isabella was spending the night with Grandma and Grandpa so she can be spoiled properly before heading west.
Tristan was a bit jealous for a while but got over fast when the fun began! When Dylan first saw Isabella he said "She can talk now!" and she can! Her favorite words are "Grandma now! Grandma where are you?! and "GRANDMA!" LOL
The girls also had their first "CAT FIGHT" which drove me to a glass of red wine and Grandma had to ease the tensions. Grandma would be good in the middle east.
Grandma cuddled up with the kids for Alice in Wonderland which I think only Isabella really cared about. Tristan begged for Spongebob and Dylan went back to the MTA website.
At the dinner table Isabella pulled a Virg and let slip "Oh shit "
Grandma missed her blog lesson and FB lesson because none of the kids would leave her alone!
All the toys at that house and the kids loved the baskets best! And Dylan went mad for an old time Slinky! He had to bring it back home he loved it so much.
As for the food! The men know how to do it! Anthony spoiled us with fresh bread, cheese and olives. Tristan demolished most of the olives. She can eat for two! Dinner was a wonderful English lasagna (less red sauce more cheddar on top!) and a home made apple and berry pie with ice cream. The kids didn't want to leave and Dylan wanted to stay over.
Lucky for us both fell asleep pretty quickly for the speedy drive home! Ahhhh goood times.
We are going to miss Isabella until her next visit.

  1. The pictures of the children are great; when I first saw them I thought Peter joined the Peanut Gallery. I’m glad you all had a good time.

  2. ahhhh, so nice to have quiet and a fire place going on at the same time!

    isabella grabbed my arm at 8 pm and told me to "take me to sleep now"!!!! i mean, where did this child come from???!!!! i actually had to put her off for half-an-hour. we then went to sleep last night at 8:45 and woke at 8:30 this morning. but there was that 3-4:30 am wake up for something milk...and the leaking sippy cup i gave her didn't put her back to sleep right away so the next attempt was the juice sippy cup she wanted - that worked. then for the next 45 minutes my arm was massaged by this little arm going up and down my sleeve....similar to a tooth ache but more bearable... by 4:30 i was numb so i feel asleep easily!!!

    tristan and dylan were the joys they always are! you don't know whose cheeks to pinch first!

    lucky us!
