All seems to be well at Grandma Jackson's house.

During a hearing Friday, the judge overseeing custody matters for Michael Jackson's three children declared the kids to be "really doing wonderfully with the grandmother as the guardian."

Katherine Jackson was granted permanent custody of Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II (aka Blanket) in August. Debbie Rowe, biological mom of Paris and the other Prince, agreed to visitation rights after initially making it seem as if she was going to go after a more substantial role in their lives.

Attorneys for Jackson and Rowe were in court today.

"It was an excellent report," L.A. Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said of the status report he received. "I am not inclined to set another date" on the guardianship matter.

Also today, Beckloff extended Jackson estate executors John McClane and John Branca's administrative powers until at least Jan. 4, 2010, which allows them to accept or reject creditors' claims against the estate.

Katherine has objected to Branca and McClane's status as administrators, and another hearing is set for Nov. 10 to discuss whether there should be a trial.
