A Truck

Remember that great big present that Granny and Gramps left at our house for Munchie?  Well, last Saturday we decided to take it down to him, since Mommee and Daddee seemed to be very busy and didn't have time to come to our house.  So we drove away from the house - which forced Poppa to take a day off from his work around the house, which I thought was well-deserved since he has it looking beautiful!

We stopped for breakfast along the way, and in due time arrived at Munchie's house with the big parcel.  It didn't take too long (with a little help from Poppa) and the big box was all unwrapped - Munchie took a little tour around it to make sure all the paper was off, while Poppa went to the kitchen to get something sharp to cut the tape of the seams and find out what was inside.

Oh - how exciting that box was.  Munchie loves trucks and this one was BIG!

And it has a ladder!  And there are blocks inside it, with little spaces on the side to put more blocks, and it went round and round the living room and kitchen, and it was hard to decide what to do next with it, so it often stopped in the middle of the room so a block could be moved, or the ladder adjusted - and I got lots of pictures, but a lot of them are blurry since I couldn't get Munchie to stay still long enough to get a nice clear shot!  And then, just to make it even better, it came with a huge bag with even more blocks inside!

Poppa and Munchie got together and started a project with all the blocks....

Then the phone rang - it was for Daddee.  Oh Dear!  Daddee was on call and had to leave unexpectedly.  Shortly, with a smile and a wave he headed out the door.

In an effort to distract Munchie, Poppa offered him a chance to sit inside the big box that the truck had arrived in.  This seemed to take his mind off the reality of Daddee leaving and soon he was settled in, reading Squeegie a story.

Soon the story was done, and next thing I noticed was Poppa helping Munchie put his shoes on.  Now what's up?

Apparently the living room just wasn't big enough for that fire truck, and it was necessary to take it down the hall in order to enjoy it to the max.  So off they went.

While they were off pushing the big truck down the hall, Mommee, Curtis, Squeegie and Taffy relaxed and took in a little TV.

And, presently, Poppa and Munchie came back from their excursion with the big truck.  Munchie took a quick peek to see what was on TV.

He decided that he was more interested in what Poppa was doing.  And this is what they did together!

Once the construction project was completed, we took the bears and headed back home.  We had an enjoyable visit and we hope Munchie enjoyed it too.

Meanwhile I have finished that piece of lace I was working on and added it to the growing collection of pieces needing to be starched and pressed.

And, then, of course, I started a new piece.

Hee!  I just had to use the new camera to get a close-up, close-up picture!
