What My Super Cool, Hip, Young Grandma aka Angie Has Been Up To...A Guest Post By Little Boy Blue

1/20/2013

 
Picture

"OH Hi There!"

says the cutie, dimpled
Little Boy Blue.






Picture



"Come a little bit closer and I will tell you what my cool, hip, very young Grandma has been up to.
Oh by the way, my Grandma made me say "cool" and "young" and "hip." Hehehe."






Picture


so
at Christmastime,


my super young Grandma
pulled out this Christmas tree from the garage
and put it up for me and her to decorate together with kid ornaments....a warm, fuzzy Norman Rockwell experience she was thinking.




Picture
Well,




this is as far as we got.



I kept pulling the ornaments off the tree just as quick as Grandma put them on.



And then I got distracted with the kitties and with putting inappropriate stuff in my mouth.





So Grandma finally gave up.





Picture
So the kid tree never successfully got decorated.



But my Grandma did manage to get a big tree up with a few ornaments in the living room.



Grandma said she just wasn't into the decorating this year but that next year she will do better.






Picture


See, my Grandma loves her ornaments.

My Grandma used to put up
13 trees.

Her favorite tree was the 9 foot tree with vintage ornaments.

She has over a thousand vintage ornaments alone.

At least.



Grandma,
Are you a hoarder?





Picture



Gram was  modest with layering on her vintage tree tops this year as well.





Picture


And all the pets were all snuggled in their beds for the Christmas season too.





Picture
And sometimes the pets even had turf wars with the humans for their rightful snuggy spot.



That's my Auntie Sweetness by the way. She was on break from  school. I love her. She buys me fun books.




Picture

Auntie Sweetness is a literary arts grad student and she bought me this really cool book with animals in it for my birthday in October.

I LOVE this book!!!





Picture

The animals in this book have fake fur on them!!!

See my tongue here??



My Grandma and Grandpa had no idea that I was getting geared up to lick this book.






Picture


What???!!

So I like to lick the fur on the animals in that book.


Sue me!






Picture



My Grandpa sure got a kick out of it...he started yelling
"Angie, he's licking the book, look at this!"


I don't know what the big deal was.





Picture


I'm not licking the book Grandpa! I was just......smelling it. Duh.





See, I can look at a zebra without licking it....
Picture
...and I can touch a bear without sticking my tongue on it.
Picture















Picture
NO I CAN'T!!!




MUST LICK
MUST LICK
MUST LICK!!!!!






Anyway, moving on about the holiday season.....
Picture



My Grandma and Grandpa's new kitty Giblet Pearl did a lot of lazy sleeping this season too....in my Grandma's arms....




Picture








...In my Grandpa's shirt while he was on the phone....



yes, you read that right, I said IN my Grandpa's shirt.

Picture





....and with her
big brother
Vinny on the couch.





Picture



My Grandma is happy Giblet Pearl finally wore down moody big brother Vinny with love and licks and jumping on Vinny's head and playing with Vinny's tail and constantly bugging Vinny...

Vinny finally just found it easier to give in to the little love bucket and humor her.





Picture


Speaking of humoring....
I humored my not old looking at all, cool, young, hip Grandma and Grandpa on
Christmas Day.

All they want to do is love and hug on me.

Geez, a kid's gotta have some room sometime to breathe
ya know.






Picture


So I jumped over to my Auntie Sweetness and her nice boyfriend NiceBoyfriend's lap.




By the way, my Grandma wants me to let you know that Auntie Sweetness may look twelve but she is actually of legal drinking age and it is legal for her to have that glass of wine.





Picture
And then it was time to open presents and because I was at my Daddy's family the night before with tons of cousins and tons of attention and tons of presents and activity and stimulation, I was a little wired and tired and ornery and
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
WWWHHHAAAAAAAA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
WWWHHHAAAAAAAAA

Do I look like I've been a 24 hour handful here for my Momma and Daddy??!!!
Hehehehehehe

WHAAAAAAAAAA!!!




Picture



And then
I crashed and burned on my Grampy's lap who was winding down as well.




Where's my blankie??!!






Well I better get going, I'm a busy toddler boy you know.  My Grandma wants you to know she's been cooking a lot of disasters like this though lately...
Picture
She can't  even remember what this was but it was expensive to make and it was too sweet and are you wondering where the top of the bundt cake is?




Picture





Apparently it didn't want to leave the coziness of the pan.




Picture
But at least this super easy chicken cordon bleu turned out pretty decent.

She'll be sharing that with you soon cuz she really liked it.



Okay now I'm really out of here....I got things to do like looking cute and hanging out in laundry baskets.
Picture

Thanks for checking in and catching up on my youngish, energetic, hip Grandma. She'll be talking at ya soon and if you're a super cute and adorable yittle tiny baby or toddler, she'll be showering you with a ton of kisses and hugs!

See ya later alligator!
Have a good week and remember: always give little boys everything they ask for no matter how outrageous, okay? Goo Goo
Gah Gah. Thanks a lot!
