The Bad Lotion

Your girl tooooooo funny this afternoon after nap. Kiva played out in the yard while I weeded, Ken worked on his wood stuff, Chris working on his art, dogs romping around. Kiva making the rounds of all of us, visiting, chatting, helping, then moving on.
Later when it was getting late, we were playing on my bed with a bunch of stuffed animals, when she said "I'm going to put some bad lotion on". I was mystified, and said, "I don't think the lotion is bad honey, it looks ok". Kiva answered, "no grammie, it's the kind of lotion that when I put it on I'm bad". So she proceeded to put some lotion on, jump up on the bed and growl, pinch and bite all her animals. Absolutely hilarious. Then she looked at me and said, "I'll put some good lotion on later grammie, then I'll be Kiva again". And later she put some more lotion on and was the good girl again. Where do these little growing brains think of this stuff? When we left the weavers meeting this morning, she said "I didn't know people had white hair grammie, it is very beautiful".[Joan]

Noodle Soup with Mice

Kiva REALLY enjoyed the home made treats (pumpkin delight and chocolate chip cookies) at the meeting, sat quietly with me for about 15 minutes, then colored, then watched her strawberry shortcake dvd. It took her a while to get brave enough to look and move around, but she was just fine. When we went to the bath room, she whispered to me "this is such a nice house grammie". It's a typical 60ish years old widow's house. Lot's of pretty things, flowers, birdhouses, absolutely nothing out of place (not like here) etc. After a while she sat on the bed (right off the living room) and watched her video and played with the dog. Came home, ate our lunch out in the yard, into the hot tub and now she is sleeping.
They are so surprising; Kiva and I were playing with her stuffed toys this morning. She has some stuffed birds and said they were sick. I asked her what I could do for them and she said...make them some soup. I asked her what kind and she said chicken, then no wait grammie, make noodle soup and boil some mice in it for one of them, and boil pine cones for the other one. Hilarious. [Joan]
