Grandma's Tea!

I drink a LOT of tea! Most mornings I make a pitcher and it is gone by the end of the day.

When my children were little they ALL drank my tea!

Then they grew up and had children of their own and THEY drank my tea!

The quads are continuing in the same tradition - they LOVE Grandma's tea!

Both Kailey and Logan can now drink from a straw while I give Harrison and Trystan 'straw sips.'

My favorites are herbal and flavored teas - I love them all!

This morning I was looking through Amber's tea collection for my concoction of the day!

I decided to go with Raspberry.

Do you see what I see written on the box?

'supports the Female System?'

It was really good!

Kailey was wound up tighter than a drum so when we were all in the Quatro Corral this afternoon I asked if she wanted some of Grandma's tea. Now these babies - at least the GIRLS! - know the word 'tea.'

I assured Kailey it was a good tea because it supports the 'Female System!' Whatever THAT is!!

One sip and she settled right down!

That's Kailey just 'chilling' with Grandma!

Amber said she had never seen her that calm!

She usually goes ninety miles a minute! Always in motion!!

Now I realize the babies were just thirsty but it gave us all a good laugh this afternoon.

I made sure Harrison had a sip or two as well.

Logan knows how to smack her little lips!

Mmmmm - GOOD tea!!!

Kailey is great at feeding herself!

She's a good smacker TOO!

Harrison is still the biggest weighing in at 17 1/2 lbs!

Trystan is next in line. She is shorter but solid!

 She was the last one to come home from the NICU and she was SO tiny!!

She sleeps well and has a hearty appetite!

I took the girls for a walk this afternoon before I came home.

They loved being out in the fresh air!

When I took them back home Harrison was awake so he got a ride in the SINGLE stroller! 

Pushing ONE baby was a piece of cake!

Pushing THREE was an aerobic workout!

It was after 5:00 when I got home today and I was wondering what I could rustle up for dinner.

Louis Dean met me at the car and told me he had been to the grocery store, prepared dinner and it was all ready to eat just as soon as I changed into my comfy clothes. 

Changing into comfy clothes is just about THE best moment of my whole day!

Summer and I laughed when we talked on the phone this evening and I told her I would probably burn this outfit I wear nearly every evening. It is a linen blend Chico shift dress - orange with earth toned leaves and berries on it. It was a long dress but I cut it off and hemmed it. I kept tripping on it as I came in and out of the camper. I also wear a Coldwater Creek cardigan of the same burnt orange color -

given to me by my friend, Brenda, and now nearly threadbare I have worn it so much!

This is my evening 'uniform' since I must stay 'dressed' as we spend part of every evening outside and we are right across from the rec building. Lots of people driving and walking by.

Louis Dean was sitting out there with a glass of wine waiting for me to change.

It is spring weather here and the camper door is open.

He waited a bit then called out, "Would you like to JOIN me with a glass of wine?"

I heard a lady from across the way answer, "Well, I'm a little busy right now! Perhaps later!!!"

We laughed and laughed!

LD and I were sitting out there with our wine when 

she finished her laundry and she said,

"THIS is what I am going back to our place and do now!"

Louis Dean assured her he was NOT flirting but said we had an extra glass anytime she wanted to join us!

(He obviously forgot we are LEAVING Saturday!)

Dinner was delicious! 

Chicken fried steak, gravy, mashed potatoes and candied carrots and home made rolls. The rolls were from the freezer.

Being outside part of every day has its drawbacks.

Allergies are hitting us hard.

Louis Dean is already in bed and I am headed that way.

Maybe I'll read a chapter or two in my current book.

Tomorrow is my last day in Quadville!

At least the Quadville HERE!

Amber and Mike have QUADS and WILL travel!

Looking forward to the NEW location!!
