Children, Cars and, Time

Today has been very busy helping Michelle to buy her own car so that I can have mine back... She has been driving mine since December and it was not a big problem until gas did the $4 a gallon. Jacks truck gets 13 yes 13 mpg !!! I want my Grand Am back.
Anyone who knows me knows I love to go places... I do my best thinking and problem solving riding around the back roads of beautiful upstate New York (no some are not paved or traveled that much ) but that is the fun of it. Jacky has learned not to be afraid when I turn of on what seems to be a road somewhere. We never know where we are going but we see the most beautiful things along the way. Birds, flowers, deer of course, breathtaking waterfalls... I could go on. We both usually have a camera out the window, and come home and show Jack what he has missed. This riding for the heck of it is not my husbands thing and that is fine.
He loves being home and putters around all the time or so he calls it. Anything that Conner wants is his next project. I believe if Conner said Grandpa I would love you to do a handstand Jack would try (which we all know could kill him ). Jack and Conner have been playing McDonald's at the play house. As Grandpa pretends to be driving to the window in a car (horn honking and all ) Conner is ready to take his order! He says that chocolate milk is the best ! Grandpa has just ordered from Toys R Us a McDonald's cash register and hat and head phone and apron and food so that Conner will get the full effect. So you get the idea. maybe i should ask Conner to take some catalogs to Grandpa for some of the things Grandma wants hehehehehe!!!
We are so lucky too have this sweet little spirit in our lives. The Lord has blessed us.
