Hi readers,

Today is Friday...we started the day with scrambled eggs and homemade toast. Raina had oat squares and raisins and toast. She broke all the eggs for the scrambled eggs by herself.

Liam went outside to play with grandpa. They walked all over and he tried several times to get on grandpa's motor cycle. Vroom.....

Raina worked on Barney on computer a bit, colored, practices cutting with her thumb on top and worked on counting past 10 and writing her first name. It is a start...we will do "school" a little each day. Now we are heading out for a few library books and some grandma exercise while Raina plays with "the children".

She loved playing with a little boy in a tent playhouse they made. She didn't want to go home, but did come to watch grandma throw the ball 20 times.

She did some fine coloring at the library. We are working on holding her crayons correctly. She just grabs with her fist. She needs to rest the crayon on her third finger and grasp with the pointer.

Lunch was great!!! Grandpa fixed green beans fresh from the garden. Yum!! Raina ate a whole plate full. And they had mac and cheese and grapes. Liam also had sweet potatoes. And everyone drank milk well.

After lunch they played in the kitchen on the porch and helped grandma clean the siding there and the table and chairs. Raina worked very hard on cleaning and it was a dirty job. I was actually very thankful for her "down low" work that saved me a lot of bending.

Then mama called and grandpa took off for the Harwoods to lay Liam down for his much-needed nap. Raina took home the 4 library books from Piedmont, saying she would bring them back Monday so we could read them here.

Tonight is grandpa's poker night so it's off to finish cleaning up for the men.
