Daily Living Made Easier

How's your weather doing? I just re-watched the movie, 2012, and I have to say, my weather is doing WAY better than what I saw in that movie but it has been pretty bad lately. Storm alerts, watches and warnings continue but we do have breaks in the midst. When I'm babysitting grandchildren, I grab at those moments…

As the Sandwich Generation granny nanny plays with the grandkids and snaps pix with her easy to use digital camera the skies grow darker

even if they are full of mud!

It's fun to play outside in between rain storms as long as the weather is also warm. 🙂  We run, we hop, we have a blast!

My grandsons run - walk - and even hop while playing tag with the Sandwich Generation granny nanny and her easy to use digital camera

Yes, we do get muddy…

Playing tag with the grandboys does not usually get so dirty - but all that mud did the trick

…but it's well worth it. It gets all the wiggles out while we practice good sportsmanship. And talk about fun and physical activities for senior citizens AND young grandkids? Tag definitely fits that bill.

And, as my favorite scrapbook quotes & phrases resource puts it, "Don't knock the weather. If it didn't change once in a while 9 out of 10 people couldn't start a conversation."    ðŸ™‚ 

Playing tag with grandchildren makes for fun and physical senior citizen AND kid activities - very healthy

When we are out of breath, we call a short time out, which gives me a chance to grab an easy to use digital camera, or use the one in my AT&T iPhone, and take some photos – like of this lovely old tree.

My grandsons and I love to hide behind this gorgeous tree and my granddaughter and I learned about the green moss studying for her homework

Then it's back to running, red pants and all!

Every spring we enjoy adding a couple of new rubber or plastic play balls to our collection. My favorite are like these Edushape 7" See Me Sensory Balls as they give this Sandwich Generation granny nanny something to grab onto. (They're also wonderful for activities for those kids with special needs like autistic children or those with sensory integration disorder.)

These are fun balls for in or outdoors activities for grandparents and their grandchildren and especially good for autistic children or those with sensory integration disorder

But we also love small rubber balls or plastic play balls for kids like these that you can get at the grocery store.

    I hope you had a mud room or something to change clothes in…lol…My grandchildren have separate spots in my backyard where they can play in the mud. Really cute post.

    THE SEEKER OF RUBY AND RED

    The seeker of ruby and red
    Will not let green go to her head;
    Instead she will seek
    Her senses to pique
    With cherry and crimson instead.
