They didn’t stay too long since the baby was hungry

Morning ex, coop!

DiL sounds like the oldest granddaughter's dad. He called yesterday evening and said Susan needed to bring her home "right now" because they had dinner reservations in 30 minutes. Susan said, "tough" and waited 10 or 15 minutes to take her. He had lied. They didn't have any dinner reservations. But the point is, if they did, then he should've let her know well before then, but he only thinks of his schedule and to hell with anyone else's plans.

Hey BD!

The flying ants are gone finally. Breakfast time. Leftover breakfast pizza.

Morning everyone. My daughter and SIL showed up with the kids at dinner time. I had 3 steaks thawed for hubby, myself and my son. I had nothing else thawed so just waited until they left to grill them. I'm pretty sure they expected to be fed, but I had no warning they were coming. She had said they may stop over on their way home if we would be here, but they had been out all day so it wasn't a definite thing.

Kids were cranky and Hannah cries every time she looks at my son. If we say "Uncle Anthony", she starts to cry. I think it is his beard...but she clings to either her mom or me and refuses to look at him for at least a couple of hours when she gets here.

Morning mom.
i don’t know why it is hard to give people a warning you are coming and want to be fed.
I just don’t have the makings ready for 3 more people for a meal.

I don't understand that either.

Had to order a new oscillating sprinkler to get the coverage needed for the garden. Seems like the days of finding good metal sprinklers are gone.

I always seem to have trouble with them. They always seem to stop working after a season or two.

My grandfather had a formal pic of his father, my great grandpa (born in 1868, died before I was born), but in the photo he had this huge mustache that looked like woolly worm fight, scary hat and the most piercing eyes.
Adding to the creep factor, the portrait was made in the old style with convex front glass, making it balloon out into the room.

None of us kids could take it! Just couldn't get away from it when playing in that room.

Cheap plastic products that are made to be tossed after a season.

My son and my husband both said they were waiting to see who gave in...if they were going to leave or if I was going to come up with some offer to feed them. I didn't even have any buns left to offer to grill them a hamburger or something.

And if you're coming over to celebrate someone (father's day, birthday, etc) YOU should bring the food or pick up the tab where you're going.

Callie has figured out how to get up on the roof.

Pretty sure it's the lime in the water.
Used to be able to dip them in vinegar and bring them back, but new ones are mostly made of thin, wimpy aluminum. Vinegar kills them.
