Good afternoon myLot friends. What a wonderful change of plans in my day for today. We were not busy at work, not at all. I have worked a little longer both yesterday as well as the day before. Today I decided to take the afternoon off. I plan on going over to our son's place and spending the rest of the afternoon with Grandpa and the twins. I don't think that my day can get any better now.

@LadyDuck I do love spending time with them. The end of the day is difficult. They need to be picked up and held more and they are getting so heavy. This morning my muscles ache.

It really was a nice afternoon. I need to go over in a little while now to watch them for a couple of hours while Mom and Dad go out together.

I only have a few more years left to work, and I should keep my nose to the grindstone for that entire time, but the girls will only be this age once, and I love to leave a bit early to spend time with them. When I retire they will be in school already.

@MarieCoyle I have always had that same feeling, live for today, and the experiences, the white glove test can be put off to another day.

@Juliaacv I always used to think of that old poem by Ruth Hubert Hamilton. It's long, but the last verse is the best!~ '' Oh, cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow, But children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow. So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust, go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby. Babies don't keep.'' And they really, really don't keep! Take your moments when you can get them, they grow up so, so fast!

I love spending time with those little girls, although they do wear me out quickly. Chasing after 2 of them can be challenging.

@wolfgirl569 With them being 2 and having so much energy and me being well, 61, and having thyroid issues as of late, they can run circles around me.

Thanks. I only have a few years left to work, and I should be working as much as I can during that time, but those little girls will have grown up and started to school by the time that I retire, I like to take a little time now and then to enjoy them at this age.

@Juliaacv And it's very good that you do take the time when you can. They are already growing up very fast.

That sounds like a great way to end your day. What time do they take their naps?

They are down for their naps just seconds after noon and they would sleep all afternoon if you let them, but they have difficulty going to bed at a decent hour, so Grandpa wakes them after about an hour.

You deserved to take the afternoon off, because you did your work in advance.You couldn't wait to see the twins !

It was a great afternoon. This evening I will go over for a couple of hours while they go out together. It should prove to be interesting if I can get both girls down for their regular bedtime. We have a tendency to lose track of the time when we're playing and reading books together.
