JJ's Turn

A few days after Danica's sleepover, it was Jonathan's turn to experience the sheer rapture and joy of overnighting with his grandparents. lol

We play games with JJ -- Uno and Sorry this time.


He was eager to help Amma with meal prep: mashed potatoes one night and egg salad for sandwiches the next.



Helping me with the eggs for Buppa McMuffins in the morning: adding shredded cheese in the photo.


Crafts with Amma: something or other superhero related.


He crafted Wolverine claws all on his own.


We had a game of sock basket. In the video, I say, "Oh boobies," to a missed basket. This cracks him up and then Sue and me too, especially after my explanation and comment.

Looks like it was a fun sleepover event once again and nice to see both grands were able to share time with you and Sue. Also, liked JJ’s new hair look while Sue’s has really grown long!

I remember those curls he used to have way back when and now there is a young man in the photos. Not even a boy, but a young man! Good to see he still likes to come over and spend time with the grands though.
Plus I think I am in love with Sue's craft room! No, I know I am!!

It's wonderful having a relationship with grandies.
I loved the video. I think you are too close, though. It seemed pretty easy!
We play UNO and SORRY, too!

Lol. Priceless. Great memories. And JJ will say, “Boobies, like my grandfather used to say.”

I like his new haircut. And I see a resemblance to both you and Sue.

He's really adorable. Don't tell him I said so, but that picture of him using his wolverine claws to give you a head massage gave me quite a smile. :-)

What fun games with the new look on JJ. Your sock-basket game and the new quotable phrase is a hoot!

Never heard of sock basket though I have done plenty of all the other activities mentioned.

Your grandson looks more mature with his new haircut, which I like a lot. Glad you had such a nice visit. As for your upcoming surgery, good luck. David had total knee replacement surgeries on both knees in 2015 and 2016 and they were a huge success. Less pain now and more flexibility.

Your MiniMe is adorable. I'm impressed by Sue's craft room!!!

Margaret said...

What fun times with JJ! (a variety of wonderful activities) Did your dad really say that or were you making it up? ;)

William Kendall said...

Sounds like you enjoyed it.

Sounds like a fun visit.

Kay said...

This is so wonderful! Oh gosh! He’s growing up too. What a special time for both grandchildren it was.

Rita said...

Such fun! Love his new haircut.
Yes, there was a time they weren't called boobies--LOL! You were called a boob when you screwed up on something or another. Your dad had a cute twist on it. Love that! :)

the giggle is worth bottling and selling.
