Birthday Month has arrived

March is a busy, busy month for Boppa and me. Grandson #1 turned 3 this Friday and Granddaughter turns 4 next Friday. They are "Irish twins," 11 months and 3 weeks apart. We had their birthday party today at a local park. Their big gifts were the bikes that you see in the picture. Boppa and I bought them bike helmets. Granddaughter actually managed to pedal hers quite a bit but Grandson wasn't that interested. He was more into chasing the dogs and playing baseball.

Boppa's last day of genuine babysitting was Friday. Grandson #3 (7 months old) is going to a day care center tomorrow at his mommy's work. The girl they had babysitting four days a week has decided to get a real job. Boppa will miss having the little guy around, but he's been told he can go get the baby anytime he wants. He's on the "remove child" list!

Grandson #2 gave us quite a scare today. He decided to run out into the street at the park between two parked cars, and we saw a car coming! Luckily Mommy and Daddy were right there and were able to grab him . The car had already stopped, too. Scared us all to death. In fact, Son made Grandson #1 and Granddaughter move closer to the pavilion. His wife asked him why (because the ball kept plopping in her direction). He told her "we almost saw ___ get run over!" She said, "Well, (their big brother) was right there with them. " I looked at her and said, "Hey, (Grandson #2)'s mom and dad were right with him, too." I don't think she saw it at all.

Stepgrandson #2 has his 12th birthday on the 20th, and Stepgrandson #3 had his sixth birthday yesterday (but he's out of state). We will be having a birthday party for the six year old when he comes down for his spring break (March 22).

So that's four grandchildren birthdays this month, 3 in one week. Then, of course, my birthday is at the end of the month. I think we will go away for my birthday and get some rest!
