You know your GC have visited when....

she looks blue with cold - but the cold doesn't bother her anyway! Off I go, I'll be singing that all afternoon now.

Put in there by the snow monster probably rose

You find Elsa in the wardrobe upstairs - Frozen!

DS & DDil's belongings are still scattered round the house after they leave.

That should read GD1 aged 8. Good grief, I'm exhausted enough with two without adding another 6!!

It's cartwheels and head stands here which GD8 performs well but watching her, just turned 5, sister trying to execute these moves is hilarious. She is so determined it's exhausting watching her.

Stickers stuck nicely in the books, but all the discarded white bits stuck on my best rug.

All the tiny windfall apples collected and put in a neat pile. thankyou DGD2 age 2.

About 40 pretty snails arranged on the sawn off stump of a big tree - 6 year old DGD. But no butterkist.
The hand towel in the bathroom was down the toilet - DGS age 3 who had to apologise for doing it also got the naughty step for telling a fib at first and saying that he didn't do it !!
Coffee table pushed to the side so that DGD could perform her usual after Sunday dinner freestyle dance, this week it was to One Direction.

Oh yes! A selection of snails crawling up walls and table leaving their slime crisscrossed across the floor. The remnants of a snail race! Snails a great favourite of my DGSs. Our garden a great source.....

So glad the snails had some butterkist I never thought of that when I was keeping them in a bucket when I was four!

Today I discovered a box in the garden containing a few snails with their obviously favourite selection of leaves that they like in Granny's garden, a small bowl of water and probably added by GD2, two bits of butterkist which I assume is pudding

So the loss of said article could be a bit of a bummer !!

As I can testify AKA a feather duster can come in very handy for all sorts of things, and I don"t just mean dusting, if you get my drift!!
Tee Hee

When you can't find your feather duster and your last memory of it was it being wielded by Ariel as a Weapon of Mass Destruction

Mine don't visit very often due to the distance and the fact that they have lots of weekend activities, but when they do, I can guarantee that I will bruise my foot on an undetected Lego brick; and the ink in my printer will be mysteriously depleted.

I've been looking after my eleven month old grandson at his house for a couple of days every week, surrounded by packing boxes and confined to one room. If I wasn't able to take him out a couple of times a day I'd be going completely stir crazy. As it is I'm exhausted; my back hurts, my wonky knee is playing up, my eyes don't work properly (they keep wanting to stay closed) and my arm muscles may never recover (he's no lightweight my grandson).

You've ALL had my DGC to stay! Particularly those of you who have stickers in unlikely places and extra bits of Lego, old Ladybird books and cars which don't appear until the boxes have been put away. The sticky marks on the windows can be at eye level too, if you were holding up a DGC to look at the birds in the garden. We have low level marks, which we always forget about, on the glass door in the kitchen and they really show up best when the sun shines and you have visitors.

POGS, you are right. We are SO lucky!

When you have a smile on your face and an ache in your heart

Finding my mobile with a video of two of my DGC singing 'I love you grandma yes I dooooo'

Finding the same camera with a video of my two DGC singing ' I hate Runrig and I wish my grandma did toooooo'

My cushions having 'walked' from sofas and chairs to a mountain in the middle of the lounge. My small table on it's side having being used as a rocket!, bin full of nappies (outside luckily) Yes to the smears at knee level on window. The window cleaner tries so hard to wipe them off from the outside?????

In the summer my flower tubs half dug. (He does have a sandpit)

Aching back but full heart. I get so much out of them.

Paper aeroplanes in strange places. I could go on forever.

Yes I get that too Aka weird pictures of monsters, coloured cars and faces saved to the photo album. Eldest GD's latest are mechanics workshop and dentist Apps. where you can save the "results" . Lovely.

When my iPad is out of charge, covered in fingerprints, and there are strange pictures saved to my photo album.

When my house looks like a bomb has landed I have a five year old grandson

Yes POGS we are very lucky!!!

All of the above.

AREN'T WE LUCKY!
