Rug Rats

My in-laws have 9 grandchildren, 4 girls and 5 boys. Lana is the eldest and her cousin was born the next day, so they are only 1 day apart. The eldest grandchild is 14, the youngest nearly 3. 
They all love to go play at grandma's. Because grandma is great! She lets them dress up in her best clothes, they can paint and do projects and chase the chickens in the back yard. They can use the flesh forks to eat instead of cutlery. And they are allowed to eat on the couch, in front of the TV. There is nobody that tells them to clear the table or do the dishes. Nobody makes them make their bed. When they are with grandma, they are real rug rats!

Okay, cookies and soda for breakfast may not be the best option, but after all: once they are back home, they are back to normal. LOL. It's great for them to have wonderful grandparents and someone that loves them unconditionally.

We have to pick up our rug rats tonight. They spent 3 days with grandma and grandpa. Because their parents needed some grown up time with their friends. I missed them. But I truly enjoyed some time without them as well. And I'm sure they had a great time too. And we bring them small presents. It will be good to hug them later this evening..
