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.

Good for you, Grandma! We all need to enjoy our loved ones as much as we can!

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.

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!

@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.

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

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.
