The Native Iowan

Pretty much sums up the weekend.

Had Angelo and Mendozza all weekend. 5 and 8 respectively.

From XBox to bikes and scooters to the pool to haircuts with Connie on Saturday morn…

These two guys do move fast. I call them “my pups”. And they respond as such. I recall my old buddy, W.E.’s, comment when my kids were young… “it’s more fun to have fun…” And we do.

The living room is base-camp. The bed room is a decent mess too. My bed has not been slept in. We spent most the time somewhere in the living room either playing video games I have no clue about or watching something on TV or playing cards or board games.

Grandma has been in Gizo.

Connie just took Angelo home. I’m cooking up a mess of ginger noodles.

I enjoy watching the children grow up from a grandparent’s point of view. The stresses of life that we lived under when our kids were small are all changed. Perhaps life is easier, perhaps not, but the point of view as a happy-granny is much different from a parent, happy or not.

So the dawgs have had their baths. The kids have worn themselves out. Got loads of work to think about tomorrow. Mendozza crashed out ages ago. The dogs are quiet.

Life is good.

end the weekend muzik…
