Every week, I take my turn watching the 3 youngest Best children while Melissa and Adam work and Abigail goes to dance class. They usually visit on Tuesday or Thursday, and usually bring their 2 dogs with them. I leave work early, and we have an early dinner, then "play" in my room so Old GaGa (their name for my mother) doesn't have a heart attack over Jude and Micah wrestling in her living room. So last night was my weekly evening with the Best's. We usually watch the same movie over and over, used to be Jurassic Park, then it was Indiana Jones, but Jude discovered Men In Black last night and we watched both MIB I and II! He has decided that's what he wants to do when he grows up! He was fascinated, and I guess will ask for a black suit for Christmas. Seriously, I think he would be really excited if he got one! Micah was not so fascinated by the movie, he just wanted to eat and play with games on my phone. Annalie was just being Annalie. She likes to put things in my trash cans. I have to check them when she leaves, I have found hummels in them, and DVD's. I am missing my mailbox key, and I'm a little concerned I did not check the trash well enough one day and it may have been thrown out! Last night I didn't have the dogs (I think Melissa feels bad about their extended stay over Thanksgiving and was giving me a break). Jude also brought a barrel of toys to play with his Uncle Mike. Sometimes Sarah and Mike and Addison and Aiden join us for a family night, but Addison was sick yesterday (double ear infection poor thing), so they did not come. Jude loves his Uncle Mike so much, and it was so cute he brought some toys he thought his Uncle would enjoy playing with. Such a sweetheart! As Abigail has so adroitly stated, Micah is "a little bossy", and Annalie can turn on the charm and make you not care that she just threw away a $200 hummel! I love my grandchildren so much! They add so much fun and being able to enjoy the wonder of Christmas through their eyes is inspiring!
