A few errands to run on a foggy, grey Tuesday morning, but by noon the sun was out and the lake beaches are finally open so we spent a long afternoon at the Sand Bar State Park. It's a nice sandy beach where a four year old boy can spend hours digging holes and then filling them with buckets of water. All that is required of a grandma is the occasional admiring comment and the offer of a drink of water.
After a hearty supper of ham, noodles and corn on the cob, with strawberry shortcake for dessert, Dane spent the longest time drawing and setting up his own "art exhibit."

Only a minor meltdown from over-tiredness before off to bed. But Mike pured me a glass of wine and all was well.

He's four? He is a fantastic artist for four! I'm happy for you to be able to spend such quality time with Dane.
ReplyDeleteI think Dane illustrates my belief that boys are easier than girls quite well. You are right. Give them a shovel and water, and they are entertained for a good long time.
ReplyDeleteA small nap might ward off that meltdown time.
ReplyDeleteSee if you can't find a sitter for Dane so you can nod off for a few minutes. You could still have the wine at bedtime. :-p
Now those are great examples of refrigerator art. Glad you had an easy day of it with a little bubbly to make it all better.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Mike "pured" you a glass of wine.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good day. One minor melt-down can be handled. :-)))))

Wow! A true artist, setting up his own exhibit and all. Great drawings ... and it sounds like a great day, too!
