Nanny Grandpa Al

After a week of hard labor and stress we have a thank you note for Grandpa Al. He spent one week with our kids while they were between school and day care.

Nanny Grandpa Al

Thank you for a week of your life,
You earned a vacation to Norway with your wife.
We are sorry about the big hole in the back yard,
and the big fight about the ball at the baseball park.
We know two of Hunter's friends were rushed to the hospital with a minor concusions,
we are greatful Hunter walked away this week with only scrapes and a nose that was gushing.
Of course you had help and weren't always the one in command,
we should give some credit to those helpers that lended a hand.

They include:
12 little wrestlers rolling around on mats
11 little Dragons swinging their bats
10 little Flash with balls and gloves
9 little neighborhood kids with shovels and water guns
8 plastic wiffle balls that could be hit again and again
7 swimmers and a coach that weren't afraid to swim in the rain
6 sugary prizes won at wrestling camp
5 beautiful days to act like little tramps
4 boxes of cereal from Grandma Jonita's trunk
3 other helping grandparents, none of which showed up drunk
2 of Blake's 24 best friends looking for a last minute play date
1 boss that let Amy work at home Wed and Fri - that was great!
1/2 a day off for Dave to play kick ball
and a whole lot of love between them all!

Thank you Nana for the Milk and Meat,
Mom and Dad ran out of food for the week.
And more importantly Thank you for eating some lettuce,
it took the pressure off of us.
We can't wait until you get back from your trip,
but for you we have a little tip.
Get lots of sleep while you are away,
You will find things more relaxing while you are in Norway!

Amy, Dave, Hunter and Blake
