The kids are with Mary and David this weekend - a wonderful time for everyone involved. Mark gets extra work done, I stay late at work and get extra writing done, Nana and Grandpa get some much desired and deserved grandkid time, as do the boys. Love it!!
Yesterday, when Mark was driving the boys to meet Nana and Grandpa, Avery lectured him. Like a 40 year old in a 5 year old body:
"Dad, I want to talk to you about something. Nana always has snacks, that way we don't get hungry and we can just eat. So when you come get us, that's something to think about." (I'm dead serious, he really did say it like that.)
...and then when they met up with Nana, Avery asked her if she had snacks and she replied, "Yes." and Avery looks back at Mark, like, "See? You could really learn something here."
Kills me.
It's baseball season again, finally. Go Red Sox! We splurged again this season and got the MLB package so that we can watch all the games. Makes us miss New England all that much more.
