First of the Month–Watch Them Grow

Joining in with another First of The Month  with another photo of the three grand children that I have followed on here for the past year.  (Jan at Murrieta 365 still has the Meme going strong!)

We had nine grandchildren at our house the week before Christmas so we bought a one size fits all gift:  Wii.
It was a good choice.

This afternoon when Z-bub got off the bus, I allowed the boys to play some Mario Brothers.  It suits them to a T!



 And Mizelle?  Well, she watches, and then begs to play.  I will have to find an easier and more age appropriate game for her.  Any suggestions for a 2 1/2 year old?

Those kiddos are cute as bugs ears - love the intensity on their faces.

And your "about me" and dusty header crack me up! :D

Great pics Pamela! I don't know anything about kids games...as we don't have any around here!! Ben's grandkids live out in MN so we only see them about once every couple of years.

there's a sesame street one for xbox, so there's got to be something for wii, try going to a store's website (or amazon) and knocking the search down one item at a time, first games, for the wii, then by subject or age and see how that finds you.

We didn't do video games when Z was that little, so I don't really know about that.

I was just looking back at some of your older pics - Mizelle looks like a child now instead of a baby. I find how children's faces mature so fascinating. That's why I decided to do it with my own boy.

No suggestions for games from me, I like to suggest outside play. Only one of mine was into games that young and he is overly obsessed now so I am not too happy with that outcome. My nephew is into skylanders at the moment.

They grow too fast these little ones. Don't you just wish you could slow them down and savour each moment just a little longer?

Smart grannie! Maybe M just wants to be at the controls whether she can play or not? :-)

I Think there is a Dora The Explorer..or maybe a Diego game that Mizelle would love. I am certain they get time outside to play and computer games teach eye hand coordination anyway and when it rains you need an activity! I enjoyed the expressions on their faces..so intent on watching:)

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...

Apparitions in my Garden

Image
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben...
