Ben was playing with the Play Doh a few weeks ago (which hasn't been off the shelf for about a year) and made me a wonderful "spaghetti" dinner. He brought it over to me (he was very proud) and I took a deep sniff of it. Play Doh still has the same smell it did when I was a kid. Mmmmmm - yummmm. He was staring at me waiting to say something about this lovely dinner. I said "breathe deeply my friend - that is the smell of childhood". He replied "Are you serious?" I laughed and laughed at that. I'm laughing right now as I'm typing this. Kids are great therapy.
The yes man (aka Brad) has been working on a go-cart for the kids. I think it was really for him though. Well, Ben hounded and hounded me for a week to help with the go-cart building - however, mommy doesn't know how to work all the big power tools. The go-cart was finally ready for a test run and it was spectacular. Mommy even had a go on the go-cart. What a hoot! The kids loved to see me riding and laughing on this cool contraption. Yeah! That was an adventure all right! Now we just have to agree on the decorating details...do I get a say in that? LOL!
The yes man really knows what is important - I think he learned that when he was a kid. Good for him, good for me and good for us as a family.
