Buon Appetito -- Petite Style!

....translated as Enjoy your Meal.  And my granddaughters certainly did!  They came to stay with me last week and we had a major cooking soiree going on!!  And that can be translated as......."I made 'em work for their meals"!!!
We began with pizza!
1) spreading the sauce on
2) arranging pepperoni in an artistic fashion
3) cheese. lots and lots of cheese......THROWN on!
4) finished cooked product
and finally.......they ate and ate and ate!
Next morning. they helped with the mixing and pouring of Mickey Mouse pancakes
Our next adventure was cupcakes.  I saw on....Estelle's blog...a very good recipe for the perfect cupcakes for these gals.
Ms. Priss, with her pigtails, ready at the mixer, with lil sister, just ready for anything! Lilli actually mixed them up, poured into liners and decorated them all by herself.  And then took them to her friends at pre-school the next day!
We finished our day with a hunt for wildflowers in our fields!
Love those girls with all my heart!!!

Wildflower Bouquet for You!

My granddaughter picked this lovely bouquet yesterday on our ride around our property!
Later, she insisted that we light the candles and turn on the little lights.
I insisted we eat our pizza here.
She is a girl after my own heart!!!
~Happy Weekend to All~

But really??  How could I NOT show you this pic that I received from our newest granddaughter(3 months old) this morning??  OMG....I have looked at this picture at least 1000 times.  And smile every dingle dangle time!
and I've got FOUR more grandchillin that are just this cute too,...
*sigh*....
I AM one of those grandmothers and so happy about it!!!

Crazy Couple of Weeks.....and our Easter Review of 15! UPDATED!

The day after we arrived home from trip.....which I still haven't finished blogging about :(......Ms. Lilli had her tonsils taken out.
This was on her ride home......poor thing.  She was O-U-T!!
Since "sister" was not too much fun these days, I  took KatieJane home with me where she was Queen Bee for awhile!

This was the first time that she'd been away from Mom AND Lilli at same time.  She was such a big girl and a perfect angel!! We had fun!
While we were away, there a few mishaps that occurred.  Seems the river decided to flood just a bit at our lakehouse....they said it rained the entire 3 weeks we were away.....um, not where we were!!!
So, our boys thankfully went to the house and began the arduous process of moving stuff UP. Bless them!
AND our pool seemed to decide to spring a leak while we were away and we are finally getting thru with the process of getting that all fixed.
Hopefully, it will be swim-worthy by the weekend.....
And in between all of that.........we had Easter!!
All my chillins, except Lilli and her mom, came to deer camp for a fun weekend. We have all said how much fun it was going to be when all these grandchildren were old enough to play with each other,  UM.....man, oh man......they are CRAZY!!!  But so much fun!
So, I did a wee bit of cooking in preparation for weekend....

Once we had all gathered, the circus began!!!
What do little boys do when there is fresh green grass and clover????
Running, Jumping, Rolling and Grinnin'!!!
Snugglin' this preciousness!

Watching these cuties waiting for their dads to get home from work!
Had to take a little time out for the Easter Egg Hunt...practice run!
If you're wondering if this kid wore this helmet all weekend??  That answer would be yes!
I realized I should help katiejane hunt for eggs cuz she's like not even 2 yet.....wrong! She was on her own filling her bag up with more than the rest.  With her fancy flip flops on....she is a shoe lover!!!
then you have another almost 2 yr old who found the Golden Egg.....he's his daddy's son. Just ask his daddy's brothers!!!
$5 bucks!!!  His dad had to have been so proud of him following in his footsteps!
there was coloring...
with more helmet-wearing!
josey sitting with her Cap'n....
katiejane making faces with her Cap'n!

Whew!!!!  It's late and I must call it a day for now, but I have even more pics so ya'll come back for more after weekend.  We will be out of town for wedding but home by Sunday...
 Have a great spring-time weekend!!

Such a fun weekend with friends at their son's wedding.....the same lil boy who used to stand at the top of the stairs while we were all having dinner throwing his teddy bear down at us....where did THAT time go????

The rest of our Easter weekend was spent with  daddy/son fishing ....



Mother - Son - Grandson!!
Amy and KatieJane getting some snugglin' time in with Josey!
We had a big crawfish boil, thanks to babyboy Josh who did all the work for us!
Easter morning brought us the cutest lil Easter Eggs you ever did see!!!
(blurry but don't they just look like little fairies?!!)

(case was hungry....mom must not have let him eat all his chocolate easter bunny!!)

WHAT A WONDERFUL WEEKEND WE HAD
EASTER 2015!
