A Little Out of the Norm

For the most part, this week has been an average normal week. However, there have been parts of it that were a bit out of the normal--that adds a bit of exciting fun!

Tuesday was election day. The boys were out of school. Monday, after school, Austin was invited to his friends house to play for a few hours. His mom and I talked and decided we would pick him up around dinner time. When Mike went to get him, he called me and said, "they want Austin to spend the night." Well, that sounded like fun!

Mike took Adam out to McDonald's for a special "Adam and Daddy time." When they came home Adam decided that we should play Apples to Apple 7+ (He always adds the 7+ it is a very important part of the title to this 7 year old!) Then he was allowed to fall asleep in our bed. usually this is only a Friday night treat (they fall asleep in our bed and when I am ready to go to bed They go to their beds. For some reason they really love this!), but this was a special night. On Tuesday morning he chose to have waffles. So, I made waffles. Usually, I don't for the simple fact that I can only do 1 waffle at a time where I can do up to 5 pancakes at a time--I go for simplicity! We had a really fun time with Adam and enjoyed his evening and morning choices. (Austin had a great time at Isaac's house)

This weekend was our Sunday School classes retreat weekend. Mike and I decided that we would go for Saturday. We lined my dad up to watch the boys. The closer we got to the weekend, the more decided that maybe it would be a good idea for the boys to spend the night at Mamaw and Papaw's house. We packed everything up and had the boys to their house around 8:30 am. It sounded like they had a fun day. I called last night and mom said they were playing apples to apples (7+ :) Which I know Adam loved!! They even got Dad to play the game (Thanks!)

Apparently, when Papaw was getting ready for bed, Mamaw helped the boys crawl into their bed so they could scare Papaw. When he crawled in bed, the popped up singing "When you wake up in the morning, it's quarter to 1 and you want to have some fun, you brush your teeth..." It wounded like they went to at least 10 with the song. Papaw said he really did not see them in the bed. I would have loved to have seen this.

Mike and I had a great time at our retreat, but it was good to see the boys again. They said that they may have missed us just a little. That is okay! I think that means they had a good time.
