Conversation with a 6-year old

6-year old: Are we almost there? (Less than 5 minutes from my house in easily recognized area)

Me: No. Go to sleep. We'll be there tomorrow.

6-year old: I can't do that. I have to go to school tomorrow.

Me: I'll drop you off at school then. Don't worry.

6-year old: You don't know where my school is.

Me: Sure I do.

6-year old: No you don't.

Me: I've dropped you off and picked you up lots of times.

6-year old: You won't be able to find it.

Me: Now I'm disappointed. That wasn't a very good answer. You always think of very clever arguments. That one was not up to par.

6-year old: But, Grandma! You answered too fast. I didn't have time to think up a good one.

Me: Now that was a good one!!!

And we chuckled the rest of the way home.

Spring Break

The girls on the train -- headed to Chicago!

The girls and I on arrival

Having fun looking at all the beautiful dolls.

Lunch presentation was great (There were five pretzel rolls-- we were very hungry!!!)

Three friends! (And a bit of chocolate mousse on one face!)

After lunch -- the big girls are on a potty break. Mikaela and her doll continue lunch!

Ready for lunch. My good friend, Laura, and I took her granddaughter and doll, my granddaughters and dolls to lunch! What fun!

We had a great time. Even though...get this...it was snowing in Chicago!!! Yep. I said snow -- you know, that cold white stuff that melts when you get in the house! And on the train ride home, the snow keep accumulating more and more the further west we got. Right now, it's still snowing here. We have at least another inch and a half. This is MARCH 27!!!

It was a lovely day anyway!
