We had a really good day with the grandkids today. They are older now and take care of themselves very well. The older two help take care of the younger two. They were a big help today cleaning up after themselves. They helped clean up the kitchen including sweeping the floor. They actually seem to enjoy working. I am going to miss them when they leave. My daughter and Son-in-law have raised them ...

... her new toy...Leapster. She played it all the way to our home and then some. I dearly wanted a photo of the three grandkids. Something I thought would be an easy task actually turned into a mess. When Andrew and Grandpa got ... have our two very handsome grandsons! Gary enjoys making pancakes when the grandkids come. I forgot to get some cool whip. They both love to put cool whip on their pancakes ...

My honey man and I had all 3 grandkids for an overnighter this weekend. I have blogged about taking "ME TIME". Well, this was a "me-time" weekend. Above is pictured the Fall leaves that the grandkids picked. We dipped them in melted wax and made placemats. Our next project was to carve pumpkins. This was quite a feat ...

This week, my fabulous sister Darby took Jack's 2 year old pictures for me and she also did shots of all of the Schnepf grandkids. She is amazing and cranked out these awesome pictures in just 1.5 hours. This is quite a feat when you have 13 grandkids, with 10 of those being 4 and under! Thanks Darbs, you ROCK!These are some of my fav's of Jack.

... kids were going to Jenny and Wyatt's party so I was lucky enough to get to babysit 8 of the 16 grandkids. We barbequed hot dogs, played at the park, read stories, watched movies, played Old Maid ... wasn't even anyone's birthday". WOW!! It was very busy but so fun! I love my grandkids and love being with them. They ALL are the cutest!! I guess you could call me "Octo Mimi".

... 't think it was bad at all, I was laughing my head off when the old lady zombie began to devour one of the neighborhood children and then was killed by the sweet little 7 year old that had a pet zombie of his own. But, my grandkids wer horrified and kept screaming, "Please turn off the TV, mawmaw!!!" So, I did-- but will sneak back later to watch the exciting conclusion of FIDO!
