We've just spent the afternoon and many previous Sunday afternoons, watching my 15yr old grandson play footie.Before he was born being one of only sisters and having only daughters I knew football existed but I would never have dreamt I would go and watch it, regularly and ENJOY it !
My grandaughter often places a steadying hand on my arm and says "you don't have to jump up and down EVERY time they score a goal Nan "(she's 9)
So what do you folk do with grandchildren that you wouldn't have dreamt of doing ?
oh, so many things, discovering the beauty around me through their eyes. Having lots more time to spend with them than I ever had with my own. I just think they're a wonderful gift ;D
Oh time and time again Manics. I cherish every minute with my two. They NEVER make me cross, not like their Mother, she was a little s.o.d.!!The funny thing is she thinks her children are the worst ;D
We are a girl orientated family. I had 3 sisters as did my mum. We have 3 girls who have 4 girls. It really makes me smile when eldest daughter says ''You'll never believe what they've been up to now'' ;D ;D ;D.
I have three grandsons and I love them to pieces! Any time spent with them is pure joy. This is a recent snap of them - I can't look at it without smiling!

Being a grandma is the best 'job' in the world!
wow Grandma what a lovely photo !
Who did all the knitting ? :)
Mine are at different, exciting stages.
One is 12, slowly turning into a teenager, one is 3, a bundle of laughs, one, a girl, is 2, lovely but too far away to see regularly and one who is 3 months old and the most beautiful child. But I said that about them all when they were born ;D
Thanks , macmac! :)
I'm the big knitter - but how those three sweaters came about is a long story!
Manics - you have a lovely family! I especially like the little one with the Elton John glasses and the Harry Potter scar! :)
