I'm so excited, they live in another state and I don't get to see them as often as I would like. Caleb is 12, Isaac is 9 and Gabrielle is 2 years old. I've been spending the week getting all their favorite snacks and things that their parents don't let them have a lot of at home. I'm lucky my son and his wife let me do this. I just love spoiling them and making it special when they visit. Isn't that what mamaw's are for? Especially when you don't get to see them that often? I wanted to share with you all why I'm happy today. :)

Yes, spoiling grandchildren is what it is all about. Though I don't have any just yet, my first is due in September. I am glad I have time to adjust to the thought of having a grandchild. Though I have already crochet one baby blanket, my daughter picked out blue yarn before she knew what she was having, and now that it is a girl, and I already made the blue one, I will now have to make a pink one. So spoil them and enjoy your grandchildren this weekend.

That is so wonderful. I moved 4 states to be closer to my granddaughter and be able to see her everyday or almost everyday, there is nothing like spoiling them. Everytime my granddaughter comes to my house (she is 3 years old) I offer her candy or cookies, I remember when I was a child and would go to my grandparents house and the first thing they would do was offer me food or candy, something my Mother would not give me, I want my granddaughter to always remember that she can have anything she wants at my house and to always feel welcome. Have a great weekend and enjoy your family, that is what they are there for you to do.

If I didn't still have a son in high school, I'd be very tempted to move. That's exactly how I want them to feel.

Hai Sherry I am also a grandmama like you. I can understand your enthusiasm in looking forward for your grand children. I also spoil my grand daughter. Give her candy, chocolate, and loads of toys. My son scolds me for that. She is nearing 4 years still I carry her throughout till she is here. My d'law says mumma that stage has crossed. But you know I feel the nearness of my g child that way. Have a nice time with your precious grand children and let us know later, how you enjoyed with them.

That is great, Sherry. I know you are so excited! How long will they be with you? My grandkids are out of school and will get to stay with me a few days each week. I know how excited you are because you don't get to see them as often as you want to.

They are only going to be here for the long weekend. But, sometime during the summer, they will get to come and spend a week with me.

I'm not even a mother yet, so I'm not exactly sure how it feels to be a grandmother yet. I do feel your excitement though. as both of my sisters have children and I've seen how happy it makes both of my parents. My parents always have special little activities and foods around the house for the grand-children, they constantly smile when those kids are around.

I hope that you have a fantastic weekend and I don't blame you about spoiling them when you see them either. Their parents probably understand and don't mind since you don't get to see them that much. Have a great weekend with the family!!!

Yes, it is going to be fun. You be sure to visit your grandmom when you do have a holiday - it is so important for us to see our grandchildren. :)
