Dec 3 and a Warm 75* in Kansas today.....

What a warm and sunny monday it was here in kansas today...and today's favorite thing is easy...it is actually 2 favorite things ....it is seeing the smiles of my 2 granddaughters on a monday morning...and knowing they are happy to come on their ginny days... journey is working on year five of staying with me and this year she goes to pre-school in the morning....and miss felicity is just starting year #1...and many people ask why do I keep them ...well...I love both of these girls from the top to the bottom of my heart...and I am sure there is good day care out there...you just never know...no one ...but no one will watch and care for them the way I do...and I believe their parents feel good in knowing that if they cannot be with them ...they are always in good hands here... I get them on their good days and their bad...both of their parents are teachers...they bring them when they are sick...knowing they will be watched and rocked all day ...not as good as their mommy can do ...but I run a close second... I also feel that not paying for the expense of day care...will help the girls in being able to be in extra activities....such as dance...private pre-school and getting projects done on their home...and let me say they have offered to pay...but as their ginny this is the way I want it... the girls feel safe here...as journey put it the other day when I picked her up and I said lets go home... she looked at me so funny..I replied to my house...and she looked at me and said...well that's almost home and then replied...but my house is bigger that yours...an ongoing joke between the two of us... our home is only 2 blocks from their new home...and only 1 block from where their mom teaches and I believe that is a good thing for all of us... sure there have been some rough times...but all in all it has worked for our family...I am also very lucky that michelle is around if I need an extra hand...michelle loves those girls just as much as I do...as I have said before...I love seeing them come in the morning and just like them... I can not wait until 3:30 to see their mom arrive to pick them up...these girls love their parents to pieces...but are content in spending their weekdays with ginny and if we are real lucky...they get to come over to visit their gaga on the weekends...since he misses them usually on the weekdays...all I can say is that I am hoping these girls and their parents will remember the ginny days and not prop me up in my later years with a wreath around my neck or put a santa hat on gaga...that would not be a good thing...now would it...night all :)
