a Grand View Life Morning Version 2

Another busy morning.  Today we went to the grocery store.  I love going at 8 am on a Tuesday or Wednesday.  No crowds and fresh produce.  My little buddy loves food and shopping for food.  He chats and sings for me as I put food in the cart.  He makes up songs about what we buy and sings silly nonsense words and rhymes.  LOVE IT!

Today I convinced him to choose a muffin instead of a donut.  Orange cranberry.  It takes me longer to clean up the crumbs than it does for him to eat it!  

He plays while I start to put away groceries.  He usually loves to help but not today.  "LaLa, I have to work. Bye,". He grabs his dirter ( empty paper towel cardboard tube) and toots around the house returner on his fire truck.

We head upstairs to make the bed and he requests music.  We listen to kid music and tidy a bit in the bedroom and studio. He asks to use the  bathroom and wants to wear his big boy pants.  I work hard to react very calm and matter-of-fact.  Last week he announced he like to poop in his pants and wear diapers.  We'll see.  

We collect the wet laundry from the washer and head outside.  Another gorgeous late spring day.  Low 70's and sunny.  I spot a small bunny and Riley stalks it moving very slowly.  

In the photo it is just above the center under the big pine tree.  He gets fairly close -- maybe 5 feet-- before it jumps away.

We collect wet rags and the dustbuster to clean out the car.  He is reluctant to let me use "his vacuum" then bucks himself into the front seat and says "let's go on a vacation, right now."  For a fleeting second I am tempted to grab my keys and wallet and start driving.  Beach? Vermont? Squam workshop in New Hampshire!!! Florida to see Grammy?  Reality returns and we finish the car cleaning and move into kitchen to make lunch.

Lunch outside with my two favorite guys!  

John back to work.  My buddy tucked in for nap.  Ready for a quiet hour of knitting.  Work tonight 5-8.  A Very Grand Morning!!
