Sonya and the children were pleased to see me arrive in LA. It was a long flight but mostly at night so I watched movies and then tried to sleep without much luck. However it was a good flight and I sat next to a lovely young Canadian girl going home after a year in Oz.
The first day I was on baby sitting duty for a few hours while Sonya went to work. No time for jet lag.
Her husband is away filming in New Orleans and the nanny has classes a few mornings and evenings a week, that is why I am here.
The little boys are adorable but full of energy.
Here I managed to get them to sit down for a few minutes to paint with glitter glue.

You wisely chose to use the glitter glue outside.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun. Now why didn't I go too? Peace perhaps?
ReplyDeleteWell darn. Stay for the Christmas season because I'm coming over there then. Call Bill and have him come over and I'll bring my crazy fun cousin and we'll all have a party. There! I've got your whole two months planned out for you. You'll have a great time with the boys. So cute!!
ReplyDeleteno time for rest for the weary whatsoever! :) so cute.
ReplyDeleteenjoy your nanny duties...
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are there to help. I'm sure that Sonya is appreciative --and I'm sure that she REALLY needs you! I'm sure you will enjoy your time with those precious little boys.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
P.S. How many hours were you on the airplane?
Such fun! The boys are so cute. Wonderful that you are there with them.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Sonya wouldn't have asked you to come halfway 'round the world if it weren't necessary. And besides, you and the boys will bond in a way you'd never have been able to do otherwise.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being awake enough to stay with them after that flight.

I am sure it is fun but very tiring after such a trip.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
Diane, I am sure you were too happy to be with your grandchildren..Not time to be tired. I do hope you caught up on your sleep. I can not sleep on planes or in cars. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThey are lucky that grandma is willing to fly so far to be with them my sister is too lazy to catch a bus to watch her grandkids.............
ReplyDeleteYAY Grandma!!!
ReplyDeleteHopefully it won't take you too long to recover from the jet lag as those boys are certainly going to sap your energy.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Grandma! Even if you were tired, you were glittering! Have fun.
ReplyDeleteGlitter glue is a wonderful choice -- especially since you are all outside. I hope you were soon able to get over your jet lag.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have a wonderful time with those precious children, I just know it. I just drove 8 hrs to be with my little grandson. He's worth every minute as I'm sure yours are.
ReplyDelete...I know the feeling!
ReplyDeleteDiane, soon you'll have wings, not just for flying across the world, but also because you're an angel! Did you end up with glitter glue on your face (I'm sure the children had it there and everywhere else!) Jo
ReplyDeleteHow lovely for you to spend time together, making memories! And that looks like the perfect table to squirt with shaving cream and draw with fingers.
ReplyDeleteYou would know exactly what to do with children being an x-teacher...have fun and I am sure you will enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'm coming with Roe :) Have a great time, that picture is adorable!
ReplyDeletethat is a long flight...glad you can visit the grandkids
ReplyDeleteOh, what fun (exhausting but fun) you must be having! So happy to know you get to spend time with the grandsons. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteGrandmas don't have time for jet lag or ever being tired. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm putting glitter glue on my shopping list for Thanksgiving activities. Looks like fun.
I really do love Bills comment. Twice within a couple of months, you are the lucky one. Enjoy, Diane.
ReplyDeleteNo rest for grandmas!! :-) They are at such a cute age and I'm sure you loved every precious, active, wiggly second.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time in LA. Those are cute kids, but yes, they do have endless energy.
