Annabelle pushed her mini-cart through the grocery store as we checked items off our weekly grocery list. We even picked up a little something special since Grandpa & Grandma Meyer were joining us for dinner this evening. Grandpa Bob loves pie! He makes no secret of it and luckily he’s got a weakness for Miss Annabelle & Miss GG so he’s willing to share. Annabelle put cherry pie in her little cart and got laughs from everyone who walked by pointing to the pie and telling them “my Grandpa’s pie”.

The girls were very excited to see their grandparents. Grandma Carole swooped in and held GG while I made dinner. Grandpa Bob read book after book after book to Annabelle. We had Cincinnati chili for dinner which is a big-Meyer hit, but I can only committ to eating it/making it once a year. I try to keep it a special-treat around our house – don’t want anyone (B!) getting too spoiled!

After dinner, Grandpa Bob and Annabelle waited patiently for pie…. (notice Grandpa Bob’s napkin bib – Annabelle thought that was hilarious! “Grandpa’s bib!”.)

The patience quickly wore off and they began beating the table and chanting “We want pie! We want pie! We want pie!” I’ll give you one guess for who initiated that move….

B finally delivered the goods! Notice Grandpa’s look of disbelief as Annabelle receives the first piece…

This is the look of distrust. Annabelle knows for sure if she looks the other way half of her pie will be gone with one quick swoop of Grandpa’s fork. She is on to the old man…..

Little Miss GG played so hard today. The heat from playing outside, along with cutting a new tooth just took it out of her. She was extremely lethargic. All she really wanted to do was snuggle. Lucikly there were plenty of welcoming arms to hold her. We did our best to keep her hydrated and cool. She took a catnap on Grandma’s lap and we knew she wasn’t quite feeling herself because she passed up a bite of ice cream and pie. She went to bed without a peep. I hope that tooth makes an appearance soon and gives my girl a much needed break.
