Sugar + Spice

From Grandma Buzz:

The Bears are going to live with their mom and dad in their new home very soon. I wanted to do something extra special for them before they left. I decided they have probably never had junk food.  I’m the grandma, so I seized the chance. They were so darling in the convenience store and each made a very careful decision.

Churton chose cheese curls.  He thought they were delicious!

And he learned they could be put to educational use too.

Bocker was worried about what his mom was going to say if she found out he was having candy.  He chose something with fruit in its name because that sounded nutritious. He was delighted when a visiting ballerina appeared on our porch. He came back into the kitchen and asked for a nice dish so he could serve her properly.

Beaker selected cupcakes.  Or I should say luckily selected cupcakes. Turns out it was the ballerina’s birthday!  All joined in on a rousing chorus of "Happy Birthday."

Then, when the bears cut the cupcake open, they were enchanted.  Bocker said, "Grammie, there’s icing inside."

They had no clue such wonders existed.  It’s a good thing the world has grandmothers!

      Okay, guys. Just cool down for a second… I do believe that Samantha has been a reader for some time (I think…) so Kath was just telling her to read a bit more carefully. And to new readers: Don’t be afraid to ask Kath what’s going on! Once you get it, it’s incredibly cute.

      Um, these are three teddy bears. They stay with Kath’s mom and call her “Grandma”. I do believe this post was written by Kath’s mom, was it not? Correct me if I’m wrong, Kath 😉

    I LOVE IT! So cute! Watch out sending your kids to Grandma’s when you have them! They’ll return sticky and sugared up. LOL, that’s what Grandmas are for, when kids have an awesome mommy though! <3

    Now Kath, please remember about Grandmas and Grandpas having the right to spoil their grandbears (and grandchildren some day). Grandparents have earned that right! And children love it. You can detox them when they come home.

    These bear updates have been my favorite part of your blog lately! Your mom needs to create a series of children’s books based on the bears visiting their grandma’s!

    You can tell your mom is a writer! I know she’s written a number of children’s books–is she working on a new one?

    Teddy bear photos plus captions that told a story would actually make a great kids’ picture book…Churton et al would become stars!

    Best Grammie Ever! My grandma Nonnie used to give us Pepperidge Farm Milanos and Brussels when we came to visit, man do I miss those times with my grandma. Before I forget, happy birthday to the visiting ballerina. 😉

    I love the bear posts! One of our bears is actually named Cheeto, so this really made me smile. I showed this to my BF to prove that we aren’t the only ones with a bear family. Your mom’s photos have such personality. Thanks for sharing.

    WARNING! Grandmas do this with actual, real children. My three come back from time at Granny’s house in a state of EXTREME hyperactivity from all the treats (junk) they get there. That said, it sounds like KERF mom would be a wonderful grandma. If you have children one day you can organize a real-life teddy bears’ picnic with the gang. So cute.

    Great story about the bears…I should show it to my niece. She likes visual things and things that are whimsical.

    I was entertained 🙂

    I think Grandma Buzz needs to write some more children’s books to use her creative side when the bears come back home to live.

    That’s so adorable! I love that your whole family is into this bear thing. Whatever would they have done had you stayed in your “I’ll never own a bear” mindset?!

    I still stand by my idea that you should create a children’s book (or several!) filled with the adventures of your bears.

    I hope this isn’t too newbie of me to ask… I know your mom is a children’s book author and I love her bear posts so much I want to read her books. Does she reveal her name so we can look her up on Amazon? 🙂

      Her name is Barbara Younger 🙂 Most of her books have been Sunday School related, but you will probably find a few others in the mix 🙂
