I picked Norah and Camille up around noon on Saturday, as they are having a sleepover with me while Charlotte is having her birthday sleepover with friends. It is giving me the opportunity to celebrate twins’ birthday a bit early. We went to the Mall of America where they spent some time on the climbing wall and I gave them each $30 to spend. Norah made it to the top of the most difficult wall and the attendant told her that she was now part of the 1% club. They bought goofy fluffy Nike-like slippers with the money and the last gift was a stop at Grandpa’s Candy Store where they could pack as much candy in a small box for $5 - they loved it. We watched Despicable Me 4 that evening. I slept on the couch and they took the bed - settling in after about 30 minutes of goofing off.
Jill arranged for them to have a private swim lesson Sunday morning, as they needed some extra practice on diving in order to be ready for next Saturday’s swim meet - their first.
I’ll be helping Jill out this week, as Ben is out of town on a fishing trip with her Dad and she is having a hernia surgery on Tuesday. I will help with getting dinner ready and take Charlotte to swim practice today and be there bright and early tomorrow morning to make sure they get to the bus on time. It’s been a while since Lois and I have had Granny Nanny duty, although we both help out whenever we can.
