GrAnNy NaNnY ChRoNiClEs


GRANNY NANNY here. It's time for The Granny Nanny Chronicles.
Hi There!!! What do you do to entertain a very active Toddler after it has snowed and snowed and snowed and snowed and it's time to stay inside??? Here's a suggestion. You scoot the furniture together and let Toddler pretend that this is a special place to sit...and stretch while playing...and watching the television.

WORD WORLD is one of our favorite children's programs. Found it on PBS. PLEASE excuse the torn up walls in the background of the TV room. It really looks aweful right now. The old wallpaper will eventually be completely removed and new wallpaper put up.


If I could wave a magic wand I would and then it would be all done. For the time being this is the reality of how things are around here. Still have to live while remodeling projects are going on. AND LIVE WE DO. Here goes.

Cold weather or not, we have to play and have time to be three.





Armchair pushed up against the sofa makes a NEST. Warm and cozy.



Plez excuse the ickky walls. One of these days...the wallpaper will be gorgeous and there will be a built-in shelving unit to house the BIG SCREEN TV that will be here. Oh won't that be great! WORD WORLD will be even LARGER.
That's spelled L A R G E R. Let's build it...let's build it now! For you WORD WORLD viewers you know what I'm talkin' 'bout.



Little magnetic letters in a muffin pan makes playtime fun. It's a WORD WORLD for sure. Toddler is 3 and she can spell her first name. Pretty good for a youngster. That's about it for today. Take care and talk to you soon.

She is a beautiful little girl, and our daughter also likes the program and it is one of the few her kids are allowed to watch.


It is so cute to see how she has made herself a nest amidst your furniture, looks pretty cozy.

HI!!!
You know I love that one!!!!
So so very cute she is !!!!
Her hair is so lovely, our little Miss Camdyn will have a head full of hair one day!!!!I love imaginative play and things different or out of the ordinary make a toddler appreciate things even more, I can tell at Miss C's age, she likes things the way they are, and so enjoys it when it is different. I love word games, so I will have to pop over to PBS and watch that, isn't it part of Sesame Street????? WE love Elmo and friends around here!!!!!
have a great weekend
hugs,
jamie

What a darling little bundle of pinkness she is! My daughter used to love for me to build her a "nest" when she was little -- such a precious memory of my little birdie -- now she's the mama bird to twin birdies herself!

Marilyn said...

I love reality--life IS. Like the great I AM of God.

Three and already knows how to make her name! Wonderful!!! Can she come to my school? We had kindergartners that were unable to recognize letters in their names this year. :-(

Snow melts, at least in other places than the drift that is still in my front yard. There's hope for spring, though, as the weeds are starting to come up in the garden. ♥♪

Granny Nanny,

These pictures are just priceless :O)

You know she loves you very much!! What a special relationship my girl gets to have with my mom.

Love you!

Deanna said...

God Bless each of you! I love hearing from you and reading your comments. You touch my heart!

Kathy, I think Word World is one of the cutest children's program on tv these days.

Jamie, We watch Sesame Street also, but Word World is altogether different. Both are great programs, but WW is my favorite. This program can be bought at the stores as well.

Duchess, so glad your son had a nice birthday.

Martha, Daughters are so wonderful...so are sons...twins! Double the fun!!! Nest and then there's blanket tents that are fun as well. Will have to blog about this.

Marilyn, I am sooooo ready for Spring!

Beauty, You have a sweetie for a daughter and you are such a good Momma! Both of you are a delight.

Love,
d

And she is very protective of her nest! Grampsy has been scolded several times by toddler for moving the chair so that I can sit and watch the news.

I'm certainly ready for spring so we can move on with the wall papering and other projects.

If I only had a small portion of the energy toddler has I think I could finish the house by summer, but..... I have to accept the fact that I am 55 and I don't move quite as quickly as I used to.... but still get things done.

She's a cutie, and what a personality she has.

Your granddaughter is so adorable! It looks like you are having a lot of fun:).

Hang in there-the rennovation will eventually be done and the results will be beautiful:)!

Be a sweetie and thanks for popping to see me,

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
