We will be babysitting our grandson, Spencer for the week-end. Here’s a schedule of activities we will be doing. It’s rigorous, I know. But I think we’ll both be up to it.
Saturday
5:00 a.m. Up and at ‘em
5:01-9:00 a.m. — Beatle’s Rock Band (but Spencer’s gotta let me take a turn on the drums . . .)
9:00-9:30 — Breakfast (What’ll it be, Spencer? Waffles topped with hot fudge ice cream topping and Cool Whip? Pancakes topped with Nutella?)
9:30-Noon — Wii sports. (Gotta tell ya, Spencer, I’m no Roger Federer . . . so have patience with me!)
Noon-1:30 p.m. — Lunch. (What sounds good to you: Cafe Rio, Carl’s Junior, Wendy’s, Burger King? Regardless of where we go, we’ll have to get curly fries at Arby’s.)
1:30 — Nap, nap, nap (for Grandma). While I’m napping, you can play with the toys in the toy closet or hang out with Grandpa.)
5:00-6:00 p.m. — Supper (If I wake up this early. . .) I’m thinking Papa Murphy’s Hawaiian pizza and 3-4 gallons of Dr. Pepper.
6:00-10:00 p.m. — More Rock Band. More Wii.
10:00 — story time and bed time. (I know Grandma goes to bed early. You can play for another couple of hours with Grandpa if you want.)
Sunday
8:00 a.m. — Wake up. Think about breakfast. Snuggle in a blanket and read stories.
9:00 a.m. — Breakfast. (Any high sugar laden cereal will do.)
9:30-12:30 p.m. — More snuggling, reading, snoozing, grazing in the pantry.
12:30 p.m. — Get ready for church.
1:00 p.m. — Church
4:00 p.m. — Go home, change out of Sunday clothes, graze in the pantry.
5:00 p.m. — Leave to go to Aunt Christi’s house for supper and to celebrate Uncle Tyler and Uncle Mike’s birthdays. Eat lots of dessert.
8:00 p.m. — Throw temper tantrum (because you want to stay with Grandma and Grandpa) while your parents try to take you home.
8:30 p.m. — Sulk all the way home because you would really rather be with Grandma. Grandma sulks for the next several weeks because she would rather be with you than working . . .
Sheesh. I want to come spend the weekend at your house.
What? You like throwing a temper tantrum when it’s time to go home??
