WHEN BLOGGER "GRANDS" MEET.......Joyce and Sue go to a Puppet Show.

When Ex-Blogger "Flour Power" Joyce heard my girls were coming to town
She suggested we take the Grands to
The Atlanta Center For Puppetry Arts...
Telling me ahead of time it would be a Bore-Fest we thought it was time
the kids met....
Miss B and Mr. Vunderpants are close in age so we thought they would have fun
Together...
In Typical Joyce and Sue fashion there were signs every where telling you
"No Photography"
Ofcourse that didn't stop us.....Sophie was mad that she was standing in front of her
Favorite Muppet Rolf the Dog....
And poor Finley was dressed by his father and looked like he was missing a hand
and his shirt was mis-buttoned....
But Come On.....how cute are these two...

The Puppet Show was "The Gingerbread Man" and Joyce dozed off twice and both
her and daughter got yelled at by the House Bouncers for trying to feed the kids snacks
during the performance....

The tickets included making a puppet after the show was over...

Here are Joyce and Finley getting ready to master puppet making....

And here is Daughter with her Two Ivy League degrees trying to figure out
Why the Gingerbread Man has three legs.....

As you can see the project was for adults.....the kids watched as the two ladies
assembled....

Who knew this would be complicated???
Luckily I was just the photographer...

And here is the difference between girls and boys....
Sophie sees a camera and automatically smiles.....

Finley was just Bored....

But as you can see Joyce was having Fun...
And we found out why the Gingerbread Man had three legs.....

So He Could Run Run Run.....

At this point the kids still hadn't said much to each other.....

Here we are at "Flip Burger" in Atlanta.....Top Chef's
Richard Blaise's Burger Place....
Still No Talking....

BUT......then we went to our all time favorite place for two grown women to
Mis-Behave....
IKEA!!
Where the kids went crazy in the kids department running around like
Maniacs.....While we sat and watched....
They finally clicked and had the best time causing a Ruckus.....
Ofcourse with every trip to Ikea we have to make idiots out of
Ourselves by trying on all the crazy hats.....
And Didn't we Love seeing the Future Bloggers
Following in Their Grandmother's Foot Steps!

Miss B is dressed to kill! She looks adorable. glad she finally warmed up to Finley. Boys can definitely be quieter and more reserved. I always thought our son was stunted in the personality dept. when he was young. He was not like me at all! LOL. Maybe that's a good thing?! Glad u had fun in Ikea! I get worn out in there.

collanRemember in 8th grade the boys would start dancing 20 minutes before the party was over? They just take longer! :)
Looks like fun, the kids are adorable!
It is good to see Joyce again too!
AND it wasn't nice to tattle on Joyce for feeding the kids! She will get even! :)

Sue,

They are adorable and it sounds like everyone had fun. You are what we used to call a 'cool grandmom'! Miss B is a fashionista!

Your Friend,

Oh that was so cute. Looks like you and Joyce had a great time with the grand grands!

Looks they enjoyed the puppetry art show and made some great puppets.

I love the 3 legs - so they can run and run and run. Of course!

What a fun post and I'm wondering who enjoyed the puppet workshop more. Somehow it seemed the adults were doing all the creating and playing!!

Loved the boy/girl pictures!

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
