The Joy of Children

My Grandkids had a sleep over with me we had such fun colouring and drawing they are so delightful and lovely boys we watched Nat geo wild a while They were fascinated seeing the animals loved watching the Osprey feeding his chicks ten fish a day he had to catch to feed them all Ryan said what a busy bird but he kept one for himself This morning we watched the Moray eels as they swam around the wrecked ship and a rare sight of them courting so gently and saw the little Elvers swim away to sea Means I was not able to write last night or even to comment on others poems at two, five and six they kept me very busy soon they will go home with my daughter They asked can we sleep over again nana we really like it at your home it's so fun bless their little souls so innocent still they brought much joy and happiness I will feel rather blue when their mum comes to take them back home the house will seem so empty without their laughter echoing

You sound like a very cool grandma. MIne are 5, 8, and 11. And they enjoy sleepovers too but we don't do all this kind of stuff like you mentioned. Sometimes I walk up the street with them. hahaha. and of course, cook for them and let them watch cartoons or draw.
