Late night with Riels


Saturday we went to Macee and Tierney's district softball game, unfortunately they lost a close one 7-6 and now have to win Monday to go to State. Rielee decided she wanted to spend the night at about 8:30 p.m., we couldn't refuse her, of course. She asked Auna to come over for an hour and watch TV with her, so it was after 10:30 by the time I got her to bed. She watched a few more cartoons while I read before we turned the tube off. Then she talked and talked and talked, finally saying "Grandma, the clock says 12 :04...she is so funny rambling on and on I just couldn't tell her to be quiet. I figured she would surely sleep in, but no, at 6:30 a.m., she was wide awake and saying it's "morning-time, let's get up" and no amount of pleading would convince her otherwise. I had promised her we would finish her ocean scene picture for the fair and she didn't forget that, so after Papa made us 10-grain waffles, we started on her picture. She glued some shells in the sand, and she remembered she had heard that you can hear the ocean in a shell, so she tried it and was so excited that it worked. She took several shells home with her to take to school Monday for show and tell. After the craft project, she took a long bath and then it was time to go home. We were so busy I didn't even think to take a picture of her, but after I took her home I walked through the very wet yard to look at some of the flowers so I took a picture of them instead.
