We had a nice trip to Memphis this weekend. We haven't seen the kids living in that area for quiet a while. We left Friday evening around 6:00P.M. and drove up. It is a three hour trip, so we made it in around 9:00. The kids are always glad to see us and are usually waiting at the door with a handful of games, books and toys, ready to play with Maw Maw and Grandaddy for a day or two. Since it was as late, Monica made them go to bed shortly after we arrived.
Saturday we got up early and met Mark and Paige at his apartment and drove over to meet Paige's parents. They were very nice and we also met her grand mother Polly who is 90 years old. Paige had to be at work at 2:00 that afternoon so we stopped and had lunch at Back Yard Burger. "Yummy".
We headed back to Monica's house to pick up the boys. We took them shopping for their Christmas presents. I decided it would be better to let them get their gifts and play with it now, then they wouldn't be distracted when Santa comes at Christmas. Andrew got a limited addition Monopoly game, Matthew got a Nerf shotgun and a pair of binoculars and Aaron got a Nut Cracker at the Thrift Store and and set of Hot Wheels and a bag of Christmas cookies at Target. ( Aaron tickles me with his shopping. At five there is no rhyme or reason to his plan. He just picks anything up and puts it in the cart). After we got home he decided he didn't want it because he was afraid he wouldn't get what he had ask Santa for. I kept telling him that the stuff was for him from Maw Maw and Grandaddy that it had nothing to do with Santa, but when we left he had still not played with his presents. Oh well I'm sure Matthew will make use of Aaron's stuff.
Monica and Tim went to a Christmas party Saturday night and we stayed with the kids. Matthew and I decorated a ginger bread house. John played Monopoly with Andrew and Aaron. It was a pretty quiet evening. We got the boys in bed just after 9:30. We got up early this morning and got ready for church. After church we stopped at Perkins to get a bite before we headed back home. They make a double "Yummy" cheeseburger. Man I will have to walk double time on that treadmill to work off this weekend. We got home at 5 minutes til 3 and I headed to the bed for a three hour nap. I was exhausted, but in a nice way.
Just wanted to add a couple of funny things the kids have said the the last couple of weeks. David told Sondra the other day that he wanted to send his cousins a "female". Sondra told him that he must mean an "email" because females were girls. He said, "OK I want to send a "boy female".
When Luke and Charlotte were here for Thanksgiving, we were shopping for their Christmas gifts. I picked up a coloring book with Cinderella and Prince Charming on the cover. I said "look Charlotte who is this"? She replied " That's Cindawella". Luke turned to us and said "That's not Cindawella, its Cindalella." Seems we have a problem with "R's".
This morning in church Andrew was trying to lift my arm to put it around his neck. I whispered to him " That is my frozen shoulder. It want go up that high". He said "Like John McCain"? and I said "Yeah like John McCain".
Kids do say the darnedest things

Just wanted to add what Luke said the other day that made me laugh. Charlotte had a babydoll in the car and Luke wanted it so he goes, "wahwahwah, I want Luke." (said in baby voice). I think it threw Charlotte for a loop because she gave it to him. LOL.
