Partytime............

During our usual fortnightly trip to see Big Granddad (my Dad) with three of the grandchildren, Sam (10), Harry (5) and Gracie (3) the conversation went something like this:

Gracie: I went to my friend's party this week at Planet Play.
Me: That's nice, did you have a good time?
Gracie: Yes, I've been before.
Harry: I've been to Planet Play too, I'm having my birthday party there.
Me:  How lovely.   Are you having your birthday party there too Gracie?
Gracie: No I'm having my party at the pub.

I think she's inherited my genes. LOL

Carrying on the party mood............

I love listen to/participating in conversations with kids. They see the word so differently and usually without judgment. It is quite refreshing and wonderful!

Thumbelina said...

Katney, you have alwyas been inspirational (to me) and so you deserve that award 100%. I just wish I could support you more on the odd shots and stuff but I am having to quit blogging because I cannot find the time. Last post is up.
I will be visiting from time to time though. I hope all goes well for you. And that grand daughter of yours!

Thumbelina said...

Not Katney, Akelamalu and I really did mean the rest of it. Truly. Honestly, now you can see why I have to quit! I am quite mad and I can't get round my fave bloggers anywhere near enough.
Please forgive that typo on the last comment. That's all it was. Typo.

Akelamalu said...

Oh don't worry about it Thumbelina m'dear, we all do typos. Sorry to hear you're giving up blogging, I hope it won't be for long. x

Linda said...

Why thank you so very much; that was very, very sweet of you! I am truly honored!

I think it's pretty funny that Gracie inherited your genes, too! Good for her!

Maude Lynn said...
