Grands Adventure
These two are meant for a future in management. Examples:
When I picked them up at the bus yesterday, I had a conference call going on over my car speakers. We got home and the call continued on my phone. They were such good quiet kids and had their snacks, started on some projects - all the while this call is going on. Finally, Sammy says to me "how long was this call supposed to be?". I told her it was supposed to be an hour but we were now at about 1.5 hours. Her eyes got huge the way they do when she senses an injustice and she said "You need to tell them that this call is over. In fact, it was over a long time ago." How right she was!
Papa John came home and took Chip out for some fresh air and a brushing. He came back inside and told the kids that he brushed Chip and that he also vacumed him!! Without missing a beat, Joey said "Good - now go clean the vacume filter." LOL!
They worked on some art projects (cards for Mollie's birthday and a frame that Sammy wanted to make), played outside, Papa John taught them how to make exploding boomerangs with popsicle sticks, Joey helped mow the lawn (until his back got too sore from the hard work - ha!), and served us our spaghetti dinner like we were in a restaurant (they both cleaned their plates).
We had a conversation this morning about what if real life was like an animated musical movie and every time someone talked about something - they would suddenly break out in song. So I spent the rest of the morning doing just that. Sammy was horrified and Joey was totally cracking up. I threatened to do it at the playground when I dropped them off but let's be serious, that was just a threat - I do have my limits.
Things are going well and they are having a good week so far. They are pretty anxious for their "at home" days and hoping to see the Riter's - as well as just not have to worry about school. Hope you guys are having a great trip - more updates later!
PS - Chip (who still never leaves my side) also says "hello"....
