With summer almost over I'm going to try to get back into a routine. I've put on about 10 pounds this summer so I'm definitely going to take them off and a few more. I've joined a weight loss challenge again and will be exercising more and eating less. The eating less will be the hard part. Wish me luck. I'm also going to try to complete some of my quilting UFO's and to blog more. It has been a busy summer with out-of-town guests. Just today my DGS went back to Canada after spending a week with us. He is a very busy 5 year old. It was non stop chatter and wanting my attention and that was OK............the house is very very quiet right now. We didn't make it to LTW's farm but we did spend Friday at the Toledo Zoo. It was a perfect day.
On Monday DGS went to the gym with me. They have a few set times during the week that they offer child care so Moms and Nanas can work out. This past week, he also did some sewing,
we went to the water park, did some shopping.........Target is his favorite store.......and no he didn't get everything he asked for..... he played soccer and went bike riding with his Bompa. In all it was a good week. This year was the first time I had all three grandkids stay with us for a week........of course they had their own week just could not do all three at once. It is definitely a lot more exhausting having them 24/7 at age 60+ than at 30+. It was one on one with Nana and Bompa. All three weeks there were trying times but hopefully cherished memories and we can do it again next year.

How wonderful that you got to spend a week with each of your grands, it makes for such special memories. I still remember the one time I got to stay with my grandma without my brothers and sister.
