**funnest thing said about the grand kids 3 day visit**

Grandma**

"We woke up,

everyone got a shower,

I made breakfast,

we ate,

they played a game on the computer,

we made 5 batches of play dough,

then played with it,

cleaned up

........and then I looked at the clock and it was only 10:00 AM and we had the rest of the day ahead" if this doesn't make you laugh out loud you may not be a mother.
