You get to enjoy all the cute moments and hand back the kid when they stink or act out! My own grandparents (members of the so called ‘silent generation’ who lived through WWI, WWII and the depression) rarely interacted with the grand kids. My parents were somewhat more interactive with their grandchildren (my kids).
Family Balance Sheet

I took an unexpected blog break last week because of the death of my grandfather. We had idyllic summers of adventure--we were pirates on a tractor tire ship, we were archaeologists in the stream, and we ran a Kids'' Detective Agency to solve our neighbors'' pestering problems. I would never let my kids do that today--EWWW!)

My grandfather, who was one of my best friends, was a veteran of the United States Navy. Firecracker Jello Snacks via Kid Friendly Things to Do.

While we have had our share of violence in the country during our lifetimes, there has been no all out war, such as our great-grandfathers suffered during the Civil War or our founding fathers and mothers endured during the Revolution. Of course, Mom let us little kids use a chamber pot at night so we didn’t get lost in the dark.
Saving Cents With Sense

So much has changed (marriages, new homes, kids, jobs, etc), but we immediately slipped back into our close friendship. Since we now have young kids, I wanted to plan some events with them that we could all enjoy during their visit. and filled with attractions and activities for kids to enjoy.

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). We also want to get our kids through college without them having loans to pay back, and we are 1 out of 4 on that so far! What’s one thing you splurge on?

Last week I told you that my hubby and I were headed to BC to visit my grandfather whom I hadn’t seen in 8 years. I don’t have kids yet but I am keeping things in mind for when I do have them. I guess this helps me keep on track when it comes to planning my financial activities. It went FABULOUS!! Family Matters.
