JOCELYN 3-19-10

Grandpa starts Joci on the "sugar" high right off...shopping at Sam's Club and eating a chocolate ice cream sundae!!! Joci is so very different than Joe...and should be. She's a girl and 2 years younger. I could see a lot of what Joe was like at 4 and more. She is definitely her own little person and so in control.

We started out Friday with donuts...homemade out of biscuits. Grandpa is so patient and lets her assist him, only she got a little bit of a grease splatter on top of her hand but she was way to busy with the donuts to worry about it until later.

Grandpa had a spa job so Jocie and Grandma ran errands. We got dressed and Joci decided that she wanted to weat her dress instead of shorts. First to Walmart to get some felt. I needed purple and dark blue but they only had dark blue so we got that and a pair of Cinderella PJs, of course. Then off to look for some sandles. We ended up at JoAnn's Fabrics and got the purple felt and a few other items like the Cinderella wooden doll that needed to be painted.

It was time for lunch and Grandpa wanted to go to run some errands so we stopped and ate at Ruby Tuesdays. Joci has always been a good little eater. She had the salad bar and really loved the spinach dip with the dark tortilla chips. AND, as you can see by the photo everyone thought she was the cat's meow!

Next on the agenda was Pedicures at Walmart at Signal Butt. You would have thought that no one in the place had ever seen a little girl all dressed up. You would have thought she was the queen of England. There were about 10 chairs and we had to wait...pretty much all filled with grandmas. And the staff were making such a big deal over and talking to her, etc. She picked out "pink" (of course) polish and they put flowers on her toes. (Grandpa could not believe how little they were as her toe nails are very little!). While they finished up with me she very politely sat with three ladies and chit chatted like a grown up. When we left she got hugs and waved good by to everyone. So cute!!!!

Home...grandma and grandpa were getting tired but just like Joe, Joci said she was not at all tired. However, after dinner, some ice cream and a bit of TV she was out!!!

Saturday we had to go back to JoAnn's for more fabric. I needed to make a couple of tri-folds/displays for CFR and Joci was my helper. She really did help with holding the material when I cut it and pressing out the bubbles when I glued it. She even had her own little display...hmmm...mommy forgot to take that...I wonder if that was on purpose!! :) She and grandpa also put some rock around the fire pit to make it look nicer. Even though she did not get in the spa she had to wear her green goggles around for a while and helped pick oranges and make juice.

Mom and Joe came to pick Joci up and I think she did miss them a little!
Grandkids are the BEST....
