I Know Why God Gave Me Kids When I Was Young!!!!!

I had my first son when I was 19 and my second when I was 23 and now, being a grandma at 48, I know why I am so glad I had them when I was young!!! We picked Sydney up Friday night and I don't think she stopped talking, moving, asking questions or just being cute until we took her home on Sunday afternoon!!! And during all of this weekend, I had caught a terrible cold that was making me feel terrible. But we still had a wonderful time. We took her to the coolest pumpkin patch on Saturday, and she had a great time. They had baby animals, lots of pumpkins and even a corn box to play in...(which is the same as a sand box, but with corn!!!) She got to pick out some pumpkins just her size, play with other kids and pet the calves. Then on Sunday, since I had a meeting after church, Sydney helped Papaw clean up the coffee area that we were in charge of for this week. She made several new friends and I am sure the coffee area is the cleanest ever!!! After church we went to Chuck E. Cheese!!!! Now 20 years ago when I took my boys there, it had terrible pizza, crowded play areas and it seemed Chuck just didn't show up much. This one in Indy was awesome!! The first thing that was just so neat was that when you walked in, each person in YOUR group got a invisible ink stamp of the same number. I was not sure what that was for, but when we left...they check to make sure you have all the people you brought in and ONLY the people who you brought in!!! Unfortunately now days you have to worry about someone taking your kids, even at a pizza joint. But their system works great. And now at Chuck E. Cheese, the pizza was so good!! They had tons of things for toddlers to play with and on and each game took only 1 token. We got a large pizza, (loaded with good stuff), 4 drinks and 40 tokens for $19.00!!! Of course we had a coupon from www.chuckecheese.com which is a great place to sign up for coupons if you plan on going anytime soon. Sydney played, ate and played some more for 2 hours!! By now my cold is worse, but I was enjoying watching her have a good time, I didn't even notice! When we got ready to leave, I told Papaw that she would be asleep before we got out of Indy and sure enough, right after we went past 116th street on I69, she was out!!! We finally got home around 6pm and we were both so tired!! But having grand kids is so much fun and we are looking forward to when Leighton can come too and when we have more grand kids....we just have to get more of our kids married first!!!
