grandma pics

I enjoy a day with Little Brother when we can work it out. This week I got some bright colored pipe cleaners. Saw these "games" somewhere on the internet. Who would guess dropping pipe cleaners through a paper towel tube could be so funny, or threading them through a colander could be harder than we thought? The pic in the lower right corner makes me laugh. Nine month-old baby sis is clearly posing with a smile for the budding young photographer, 
but I think her biggest thrill is pulling up on things. 

This would make a good pre-school work sheet with the question: "Which picture is wrong?"
Well I guess that depends on one's perspective on life. 
Who says we have to conform to a normal way of wearing a jacket?

I call these "Grandma pics" as they were ones I grabbed my iPhone for, not wanting
to miss capturing the moment. The quality isn't great but I'm still connecting to 
Mary's Little Red House for Mosaics on Monday.

  3. Pipe cleaner fun - wish I'd thought of that when our grands were little.
    Lots to do to keep the little ones occupied, isn't there?

  7. Grandma pics are the best! And the coat was probably easier to get on and it looks nice, too! Love the fun games you found...kids make you feel young...then tired! But it's worth it! Enjoy your week!

  9. Now who's to say we can't wear our coat on backwards. It may be the newest trend. I loved the photographer lining up his shot. Valerie

  10. I think I have said it before, but I am jealous of the grandchildren.

    I want a few!

  11. They are just delightful!!!
    Love the green and pink version of the coat back the front - exactly "who says"!!!
    The budding photographer and 'precious baby' peeping over the top of the table is magical.
    Print them off for lovely family Note Cards!

  12. They are priceless, Dotsie! You are going to have to start a special album just for these sorts of shots. I especially like the one of the photographer and happy subject.
    The kids gave me a book in which I can write down cute grandchild comments - I think pictures would be a great addition.

  14. What fun times these photos represent! You're right to grab the shot on your phone verses missing the moment!

  15. They are all wonderful photos and such happy ones too. I love the pipe cleaners through the colander idea - sometimes it's the simple things that work the best with children, rather than fancy, expensive games!

  16. Oh, that depends on your definition of quality... HIGHEST quality in my books. ;) So precious. I'm putting those pipe cleaner activities into my bag of tricks! Thank you for sharing. I love, love, love that baby girl's smile for her sweet brother photographer! Nice capture, Grandma. ;) blessings and hugs ~ tanna

  17. Oh, these are great photos! I am glad that you took them, and glad that you shared them. So much sweetness.

    You've got to love how children think. Why wear that cute pink jacket in the traditional way...at least every single time? Change is good!

  18. Great pics even if they are iphone ones! I miss the way my kids use to dress themselves and put things on backwards...lol. Brought back a lot of memories. Happy New Year!

  23. I use my iPhone for all my photos! :) Looks like you and Little Brother had a great day. Cute pictures. As for the coat, was probably easier to put it on that way and why not, it's the front that needs to keep warm. :) Best wishes, Tammy
