Oom Pa Pa Oom Grand Pa

It's probably a good thing that I have dogs, because those mornings that Ainsley lets me sleep in? I'd probably snooze until noon. Lunch in bed? Yes, please.
Wanted to get the kids out of the house and leave Ainsley to some home projects, so off we schlept to Grandad's house, where he was nice enough to pull out of some dusty corner his vintage, Eisenhower-era accordion and see what fell out of it, note-wise. Ryan and Erin were enamored, wanting to push all the keys and buttons, until we distracted Ryan with a wooden spoon he could use for conducting. Dad busted out "Mary Had a Little Lamb" right off the bat, and followed with two ad-lib requests for Ryan's favorite Christmas Carols. Two revelations:

1. I was in band for four years, and even took instrumentation classes in college. But I still don't know how the hell the buttons on the left side of the accordion work.
2. Apparently, my "Everybody Clean Up Time" song that I've known since my own pre-school (thank you, Ms. Storm) and taught to my children, is the exact same tune as "Mary Had a Little Lamb." Took me 34 years to figure that out.

We stayed only a short time, since Erin was getting fussy and needed to eat, so Dad took us to Taco Bell, for a family-style meal where the kids ate a little something off of everyone's plate, when they weren't enjoying their open-faced crunchy tacos (a tomato that fell of Dad's here, a ripped-off portion of my soft taco there).

Since Ainsley had experienced nearly 3 hours without the kids, she was jazzed at nap time and didn't feel like taking one herself, so she asked if I wanted to watch a movie.

! What's that like?

Only Erin woke up twenty minutes into it, so Ainsley had to go tend to her, getting her almost to sleep before Tucker pushed his way into the door Meowing in a loud conversational way, then it took another ten minutes, but she was up again in another half-hour and would not cotton me trying to put her back on her cotton sheets, so downstairs she came, and of course Ryan starts a coughing fit from his ongoing bad cold that wakes him up crying so I went up to comfort and lay down next to him, so...

We'll watch a movie some other year.

We're supposed to get anywhere from 5 to 12 inches of snow tonight.
I'm not buying it.
