We were all up by around 9am. Jacob pushed trucks up and down the hallway. I folded laundry. The boys like putting laundry on their heads and running around. Jacob helped me find matches for socks. The boys and I sat on the couch to read books together. Adam only stayed for the first book then he went off to play with his blocks and dump truck. Adam sat on my lap and pointed to my eyes saying, “I (eye), I (eye)”. Then I asked him where my nose was. He pointed at my nose and said, “no (nose)”. After lunch I packed all our bags. Then I took care of the animals. Made sure they all had enough food and water for a couple days. We stopped at the library checked out Mike Mulligan and the steam shovel along with a couple other books by the same author. We stopped at blockbuster and got a few dvd's for Jared and I to watch tonight. Jacob picked out a Clifford dvd to watch at Nana's. We got to Jared's work at 3:30 and then headed over to Nana's house. We read Mike Mulligan and the steam shovel in the car on the way there. Jacob quietly listened to every word. Daddy was just as into the book. I lay Adam down for a late nap when we got there. First he and I got some extra cuddles as we sat on the bed. Jacob was excited to be staying at Nana's house. He, Daddy and Kenzie sat on the floor and looked at tractor magazines.
I won't be posting until probably Sunday pm. The boys are staying at Nana and Papa's until tomorrow. Jared and I are going out for an anniversary dinner and then driving to the campground and staying in my parents camper until Sunday. Tomorrow is our 5 year anniversary. In the morning we'll be driving back to pick up the boys at Nana's. We've talked about going to the sand dunes but not exactly sure what the plans are for Saturday. We will be staying another night at the campground with the boys.




Friday PM: Jared and I went out for dinner at Mongolian BBQ. We got to the campground around 7pm. Kenzie and Mom had decorated cards and left candy and gum on the table for us. We played a couple games of putt putt golf. We had such a fun time. The weather was really nice. I was second winner in both games. We then took a bike ride around the campground. We put the first movie in at 8:30. Had pop corn during the second movie. The last movie got done at 1:30.

Well, Grandma R says...how nice but how strange to think that it's been five years since that big special event in Freeman, Michigan.

I am glad to hear the news about Mike Mulligan. Was Daddy interested because he had never heard it before? Or because he was enjoying it again as an adult? Or because it was being read so well? Or two of the three?

If JB's brain is working the interest factor should be because he heard it a LOOOOONNNNNGGGGG time ago. And...I think the town's name is Freeland, come to think of it. My brain needs some working on. Shoulder improving big time. Yahoo.

Jared does remember that book and it is one of his favorites.
