Duke, Gidget, Max, & Ringo

So yesterday I got to spend the day with Ethan and Abbey.
They always seem so excited to see Papa and I 
even though they probably get woke up to come so their mama can get to work on time
but they don't seem to mind, because they love being here. 
I had taped some movies for us to watch together.
One was Despicable Me 2 and it was hilarious! 
The second movie was a newer (animated but not cartoon) version of The Lorax.
I cry in that movie. It teaches children the importance of trees 
and makes them more aware of our environment and how to care for it. 
It also teaches them about greed and what's really important in life. 
I just loved it! Ethan likes it, too. 

Our music lesson involved the Beatles. 
Ethan's daddy likes the Beatles, even though they were from my generation
their music is classic and their impact on pop culture is undeniable. 
We watched several videos on YouTube. 
Even though I know they introduced drugs and other bad things to the modern world
their lyrics were so innocent, at least in their earlier music.
This one I thought was especially fitting for all the turmoil our world is in now








I'm trying to teach him the names of the band members. 
He seems to remember Ringo hahaha, even though I tell him that Paul was my favorite.
Oh well....

Today, I had a routine doctor's appointment and then ran some errands.
I was on a quest to locate Max! 
Max is the main character in the movie 
The Secret Life of Pets
We all went to see the movie a few weeks ago...
Both son's, both daughters-in-love and three of the grandkids, plus papa and I.
(Abbey was a little young to sit through a movie).
We had a BLAST! 




Three of us were missing from these pictures...
Abbey was with her other grandma because she would have probably gotten bored
but my oldest and his wife are not fond of pictures and I must have shot these before they sat down.
Anyway, I fell in love with these characters and they are now in 
McDonald's Happy Meals!
This is the whole collection.


Ethan couldn't wait to show me the few he had already gotten! 
I gave him some money in an envelope marked (McDonald's Fund)
so he can get some other Happy Meals this week.

But today I picked up Hannah and Sarah and took them for Happy Meals.
They each wound up with Gidget and she is their favorite character!
(Little White Dog)



I came home with Duke today



But this is the one I just HAVE to have!!!
This is Max!
He reminds me of my Milli! I miss Milli.
