Kids say the darndest things!!!
Tonight our kids are at my grandparents' home. Tomorrow my mom will pick them up and they will spend the week with my parents.
Matt just called me, a bit homesick. He is my sweet baby. Shailynn never gets homesick, but Matthew is a lot like me. We were talking about how soon we started missing each other today. I told him I missed him before he ever left, and he said he didn't miss me THAT early...but he started missing me in the car.
I told him I can't come get him tonight...it is way too late to drive an hour to pick him up and then drive an hour home. So tomorrow he has to make the decision if he wants to go on to Nana's and Papa's house or to come back home...and he has to live with whichever decision he makes until the end of the week.
Trying to get him excited about his trip again, I asked him, IF he goes to Nana's and Papa's house, what are his plans for the week. His answer, "Play with Audrey and Abby. Play the Wii. That's about the extent of it."
He is SIX years old and that is what he said. "...And that's about the extent of it!"
I told Jade and he nearly fell over laughing and then he reminded me something that Matt said at Jade's parents' home 2 weekends ago. The guys were outside tearing down a fence and something wasn't going their way. Matt said, "That's just a travesty, Dad!" Grandpa Brad got a kick out of that!! He is a funny funny boy.
Jade's black eye is almost gone....the one he got from that same fence!
