Although it is actually Thursday, I’m posting about our fun filled Wednesdays, that’s the day we spend with Beth, Spiderman, and Ladybug each week. They come over around lunchtime and we have lunch together, play with the little guys, then the munchkins go down for their naps, and Beth, Drama Queen, and I hang out until they wake up. When Spiderman and Ladybug get up from their naps we go out to play (if it’s not too hot) and then we all have dinner together in the evening after Ashley and Phillip get off from work. We spend the rest of the evening together until it’s time for Phillip and Beth to take Spiderman and Ladybug home for their bedtime.
This is the highlight of the week for Ashley and me, spending quality time together as a family. The only thing that keeps it from being perfect is not having Natalie, Joey, Cupcake, and Blue Eyes here too. But, the Lord is using them in N.C. to minister to the girls in their care, so we have to be unselfish and just enjoy them when they are able to come down.
I took some really cute pictures of Spiderman and Ladybug yesterday, so I thought I’d share a few of them with you. They are such a delight to be with, they are both at such adorable ages and they say and do the cutest things, but I’m their Nana so I suppose I’m just a little bit partial.

I look forward to our Wednesdays together, the little ones are growing so quickly and I want to treasure every moment with them that I can.
Side Note: I wanted to share another of my summer projects that I’ve finished. We made these plaster handprints of all the grandkids back in April, and I finally got around to painting them and hanging them in the nursery. (I guess I should start referring to it as the grandkids room instead of the nursery since they really aren’t little babies anymore.) I think they turned out really cute, I wrote the date on the back so I’ll always remember what their little hands looked like at these ages.

I hope you have a great Friday, and a wonderful weekend!
