Where the Boys Are

While Melissa was at a dance convention with Abigail and Annalie, and Adam was at work, I got to spend this weekend with Jude and Micah.  The first thing we did as we went shopping.  One of my Christmas traditions with the kids is to go shopping for them to buy their mother and father a Christmas present, as I am a firm believer in the joy of giving, and that watching somebody open a gift you bought for them brings more joy than opening your own present.  So I wanted the kids to understand the joy of giving at a young age.  So Micah and Jude and I went shopping and the boys bought their parents good, and interesting gifts.

We then came home and watched a "little" TV, the boys got to trade off who selected what show to watch, even the dog Allie enjoyed what the boys picked out to watch

We then had some pizza to eat

 We then watched a little Bullwinkle and Friends.  The kids LOVE Bullwinkle, and this is their favorite "quite" movie, and the one they call their bedtime movie when they are here.

Finally, sleep.....

 We then had a good breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast

And we went to burn off some of our boy energy at the park.....unfortunately a cold front came through and it was a little chilly and we did not have appropriate attire, but it did work.  We went and got lunch and came back home and quietly watched some more movies until mom cam and picked them up.  These 2 are all BOY, and so sweet and kind and full of energy.  They love to wrestle each other, and can make anything into a fighting game.  There was a reason that God made me the mother of 3 girls, but I am really grateful to be the GRANDMOTHER of 3 boys!
