Little moments

I had a pretty busy weekend- wanted to try and share a couple of things about it- although I'm kinda thinking they might be "you had to be there" moments

We tried our once a month thing of getting our family together- didn't work out exactly that way- we ended up having two separate lunches -

The first one- I see my son and his family pull up in the parking lot -- the 7 of them are standing outside their car- I walk over saying something like"hey you guys look just like my family "- crickets--- I then- having the song that was just playing as we drove up in my head--- shout "Hey it's Julio down by the school yard"-- I then say a thing that sorry - is unique to our family-- "Nanny' s been in the Manischewitz again"-- not really mind you --

Then I hold my hand like a mic- tapping it -- "hello hello is this thing on"
And there it is -- my oldest grandson cannot contain his slight amusement-- he reaches out to me-- "hi Nanny "- now that's all I wanted!

Fast forward to the next day's lunch-- other part of the fam-- and finally meeting granddaughter's sweet boyfriend-- and celebrating the other granddaughter's birthday

I tell them that after lunch I would really appreciate it if they could jump around while we got pictures-- they immediately want to know why-- finally suspecting I want it for the next Christmas video-- I say nothing

Oh and if you are wondering if the other family lunch had had that particular request-- well yes-- again crickets

Well of course it possibly could be for some sort of video

I'm thinking of making a contest of it- $50- to the one that guesses the song the jumping thing is about-- hey they are nothing if not competitive
