A Question For You
It has been a busy last few days. Lacy fell on her roller blades Saturday and stayed in bed the rest of the day plus Sunday. We figured she was just sore and wanted a little extra attention but this morning she was still complaining so we took her to the doctor and he gave her pain pills plus put her on crutches and said if she isn't better in 5 days they will have to do an MRI on her leg and hip, soooooo I am going to put the roller blades away and say someone must of stole them. She skates pretty good on them but tries to do these big hills or goes way to fast and has fallen really bad about 6 times now so enough is enough. We would have taken her to the doctor sooner but Lacy has always been like the little boy who cried wolf so you just don't know when to act where she is concerned. Any how here is a picture of her on crutches.

And here is a picture of her in her Halloween outfit.
I finally took a picture of some of the fall colors on our block but only one turned out good, so I will try in the next few days to get a few more. Gee I can't wait until Christmas when I get myself a good digital camera. Anyway here is the one that turned out. 
Ok I have a question for you grandmothers out there and I would appreciate a really honest answer. Do you treat your grandkids differently? Like if one set of grandkids live closer do you give them birthday cards and presents but forget the ones that maybe live futher away? Do you attend all sports games and big moments for one set and not even attend high school or college graduation for the other set? Do you treat one set better or love one set more maybe because you loved that son or daughter more? Jerry and I do get along with the boys better but that is because Lacy is so arguementative and wants everything done her way but we still love all 3 of them just the boys are easier to love plus we spend the same amount on each child for birthdays and Christmas and still give each child time and attention and celebrate each time a child does something good but we just see so many grandparents that treat their grandkids differently that we worry would we do that some day, could we treat the future grandkids differently and if not then what do you do to make sure you treat them equally? How do you stay close to the grandkids that don't live close? Do you treat the grandaughters better than the grandsons or vice versa? Answers please.

I'm not a grandma yet but I'm thinking it's easier to feel closer to the grandkids that live closer and you see more often than the ones who live far away and you only see once a year. Not that you love them less but it would just be in a different way. Maybe I'm wrong in my thinking...I'll let you know when I'm a grandma! lol As for our own children, sometimes it's hard to feel close to one because of their attitude but you would still treat him/her the same as the others. I have two sons and I love them both equally but sometimes feel closer to Shawn because we talk about everything and he confides in me...while Corey is like a closed book and trying to get anything out of him is like pulling teeth! lol
Thanks for stopping by my last few posts.
My grandkids live 3 doors down, and they're the only ones I have right now. My son and his wife haven't had any yet. She's African and he's totally blonde, so I know they'll be beautiful when they do arrive.
I have a step grandson in the same household. He was our only grandchild for several years and we were really attached. As he's gotten older and we have the two girls, sometimes he's a bit more difficult to feel close to. It's sad, but true. He's going through a difficult time, also, because of his mother. But I love him to death and try to not show favoritism.
Oh Boy is that a hard one. My grandchildren live 3 minutes from me. I hope I never have to deal with this one.
I have seven natural grandchilren and one on the way and one step grandchild. We are on a limited budget so have to limit Christmas and birthdays to 50 dollars each. They all get the same even though there ages range from unborn to twenty!
If someone moves or graduates we try to do more but as for loving them, I couldn't choose if I had to but, like Pea, I find some are easier to get on with than others. I find the young ones a handful but i really enjoy the older ones!
I've been trying to avoid this question! I think I'd have to answer it in person.
Poor Lacy! :-( That's a real bummer.
I love the picture of the beautiful tree!
