You're my kinda grandma!!! I have a wonderful daughter in law and she says that "There are no rules for grandma" Gotta love her. Of course she knows that even i have my limits.
That's what Grandma's are supposed to do. Have fun with the kiddos, and when they get whiney or sick or sleepy or just plain ornery, you give em back to mom and dad!

As my 6 year old would say, "Wicked cool!" you mean.

Yeh, that is the kind of thing that would drive me crazy too when mine were young. But, in my defense, I also had apple-cran juice/H2O mix, bananas, and some other activities for them. Isaac, 4 watch PBS, Jeremiah, 2, colored in a Jesus activity book with fat,washable markers and after we made only one batch of cookies, Jeremiah and I "played" Candyland until Mom came back. I only let the boy have two cookies and then made a huge production of give them each a zip-lock baggie and dividing up equally the rest of the batch of cookies (4 each) to take home. I even wrote their names on each bag and showed them so that they would know their own bag. They put them by the Diaper bag by the door. We had a wonderful time. Alas, no pictures! What is wrong with me?
I had planned to have lunch but their Mom had to take them home because her Mom was coming by to see them. She is great with them and love her more than me. But, I love her more than me, too. She is wonderful in the very best of ways! No kidding and I am not even being modest here. She really is. I have to say that my ds#3 really married in to a great family. No in-law problems at all.

My dil gives me a few rules and as long as I abide by them we are good, but she is also good at letting me know boundaries if I break the rules. No problem. They ARE her kids and that is how I felt when mine were young and others took care of them.
