A vist from Robbie Sweetheart (my grandson!)

Here's Robbie (3-1/2), our handsome grandson, fondly called "Robbie Sweetheart".....it's a long story~but in a previous blog..... Robbie, his momma (daughter Amanda), his daddy (son-in-law Jim), and his sister (Kayleigh, 21 months) came for a visit this weekend and we had a great time. Robbie was entranced with the egg operation, as was his daddy....I like these guys, they think like we do!! So Robbie had to come down and "help" and let me tell you, this little guy is great help! Pappy (my husband Wes) showed Robbie how to put the eggs on the rack 1 time and he got it right....for a comparison, Wes had to show me 2 times! :) LOL.... Here's Robbie waiting for the egg to come down the conveyor belt....
And Robbie has got the egg!! He announced excitedly, Pappy! I got an EGG! LOL....to which Pappy, of course, had to stop and admire Robbie's egg! :) LOL....Pappy is at the table next to Robbie...you can see him if you look really closely behind the BIG egg rack in the background....
And the eggie goes into the egg rack. Robbie eventually ran out of eggs...oh no!! He started cheering the hens on at that point, chanting, "More eggs! More eggs! More eggs!" in his sweet little voice....Pappy and I were laughing so hard we could hardly work ourselves...what a fun time it was!!
Here's Robbie after the eggs stopped coming down the conveyor belt with hand on hip and tapping his fingers....every once in a while he would bend way down and peek down the conveyor belt to see if there were any more eggies coming....every time he saw a new egg, he would squeal with delight..... "Grandma Sweetheart, I got another egg, it's almost here!" LOL..... Working in the egg room will never be the same again....we will be telling Robbie Sweetheart stories every time we walk through the doors!
Kayleigh went down to the egg room with her daddy (son-in-law, Jim)...but didn't last too long...she thought it was one cool place to be...and she really loved throwing all of those balls (eggs!)...OOPS! Actually, she didn't get to throw any of the eggs, she just really, really wanted to...but she got to go and hang out in the house with her mama instead! :)
What a wonderful weekend....we hope to repeat it again really soon!!
Until we chat again,
