More cottage time {a hundred times}

Our weekend was planned for comfy pants, hot chocolate, movies, CMA awards, messy cottage and lots of snacks.  We started out Friday night with everyone smuggling on the love seat while we watched the CMA's.  (I might have to watch them again because I didn't really pay attention)


Saturday morning Lynn let the kids watch a movie and then we have to turn it off so they get some play time in.  These kids are not used to watching TV so when it's on they are glued to it.  


Mommy, Grandma and Grandpa took turns playing games..... they cheat!!!  Not even kidding they cheat.



After our sledding adventure it was hot chocolate and Grandma's famous hand drawn pictures to color.  I let them request if they want and of course Miss Melanie needs Doc McStuffin, Stuffy "aaaannnnddddd Lambie Grandma"..... "I have to have Lambie".  And then she didn't even color..... 



Lynn said naps were needed during the weekend..... she didn't say by who.... see TV is on and glue is happening.


That didn't last long, TV was off and we're onto a new adventure.  

We had seen deer tracks while sledding so we were hoping for some deer to walk through.  We had no idea they would find our bird feeders.  And be able to stick their tongues in them for a little snack.




Bedtime was early for Little Miss but she woke up when the big kids were wiggling around so she wanted Grandpa to hold her.  


And then it was Grandma's turn to tickle her leg, foot, belly, arms, toe, foot, leg, belly, arm..... anything for this little princess.


The next morning it was sledding again and a little animal safari hunt.  I hid Max's animals and he hunted them.  


Mally being silly.


Mally had to help him on his hunt, he had a hard time finding these little guys.  (Dead tiger on the floor)


More Grandpa snuggle time in the morning.


Melanie and I were playing and this was her hair all weekend.  We tried to tie it down but not long it would be like this again.  


She is a repeater, she repeats the same thing a hundred times.  Even if you acknowledge her she will still say it over and over again.  This weekend she had a black spot on the chair she was suppose to eat supper on.  It was like a dried up tar stain that wasn't going anywhere.  She says

"thadt's gross"
Lynn - "Melanie that's not nice"
"thadt's gross"
"thadt's gross"
"thadt's gross momma"
Lynn - "Melanie that's not nice, you're fine"
"thadt's gross"
"thadt's gross"
"thadt's gross"
"thadt's gross"
Grandma - "Melanie it's fine, it won't hurt you"
"thadt's gross"
"thadt's gross grandma"
Grandma - "Mennie you're fine" {laughing a bit}
"me no like it"
"thadt's gross"
"thadt's gross"
"thadt's gross"
Lynn - "Meannie STOP"  {not laughing}
"me no like it"
"thadt's gross"
"thadt's gross"
"thadt's gross"
"me no like it"
"thadt's gross"

Now just think of everything this little girl has to say and repeat it a hundred times.  It seems like she finally got her voice so I love it.... momma not so much.



She colored her pictures on Sunday morning.




Oh baby girl you are the sweetest thing.  She would say {a hundred times}
Melanie wanting her momma - "thadt's my momma"
Me telling her - "that's my daughter"
Melanie - "Nooooooo thadt's my momma"
Me - "that's my daughter"
Melanie - {crying..... Nooooooo thadt's my momma, not your daughter"


Grandpa just naturally gets the snuggles from them.  I think because he sits still.  I might have to learn how to sit still.



It was a great weekend and we have so much fun spending time with them.  The cottage is all about making memories with the little ones  Grandpa even has memories...... he remembers to stay home next time a sledding weekend is suggested.  :)
