Bandit, he his!!!

Well I guess I named Bandit the right name. Today I had made 2 1/2 dozen gluten free blueberry muffins for Tanya and Brittney, since they were both here. I left for town while they cooled on the counter. When I came back I accused the girls of only eating the tops and leaving the bottoms in the pan. They said they hadn't done that. So it was discovered that Bandit had done just that. Tanya found the evidence on his teeth, stuck blueberries. He had jumped up on a bar stool and then onto the cupboard. and had walked all the way around the cupboard to get to the muffins. Then a short time later we realized that all 4 of Grandma Janets homemade donuts were gone, that were also on the cupboard. So I guess I have a little Bandit on my hands.

Since we didn't go to the town trunk or treat, we only had 5 trick or treaters. They are they only ones that I planned on. they were 5 of my 7 adopted grandchildren. Okay, I had better explain. The 3 little neighbor girls, ages Jaylee 9, Skylee 5, Cassidy 2. Jaylee has called me Grandma since they moved in, 5 years ago. The other girls have followed suit since they learned to talk. Somedays they just need to come to Grandma Rains to play. They think that it is neat that they have 3 grandmas.

Then there are two boys. The family lived in the ward after they were married. When Dawson, the oldest was born, I was trying to befriend and fellowship this young family. In fact her mother use to babysit me. Since only one Grandma was around here. I was Grandma. I tended and they came to our home to meet with the missionaries. When employment took them to Ogden, They still come and visit and leave Grandma pictures. They have also had Lee Jay since they moved. I was invited to Dawsons Baptism the first part of September. I am excited that mom and kids are still semi active in the church after they moved.

Numbers 5 & 6 Soon to be 7 are 3 Brittany, and Racheal, and we think a little boy in November. They adopted me when we were helping at the deaf Branch in Logan. I am excited that they were just able to buy a nice home in Logan this summer. Thier real Grandmas live in Canada and Minnesota. So to far away to see very often. It has been fun to help teach them language skills since mom and dad are heard of hearing.

Matt my little knight and Maddy his Foxy lady came to see me before they went to they Real Soccer Game in SLC. Then Jonah was our little Toad. I haven't seen Garrison , the Crayon except in Pictures. And I haven't seen Zeke our little Bear. Him and his dad have been sick since yesterday. So he didn't do much trick or treating. Matt says that they have had swine flu at his school so we don't know what they have.

Enough rambling. Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween. And we get an extra hour of sleep tonight.
