I'm so busy...

Lately CJ has been saying, "Mommy, I'm so busy" when he really means he's tired. Easy to be confused as his time living with my parents right now is filled with more attention, activities and throwing things in the trash (perfectly good board games, dish towels and toy cars keep finding themselves in those tempting trash cans outside) than his former life in the big city offered. A few examples:
Chad's parents live up the street from my parents. This means one grandma in the car with us to run errands almost always. Grammy + car ride + chocolate chip cookies = fun time USA. My parents have several garden hoses which he's found a new obsession about. He's very BUSY. Still very BUSY. Living with Nana and Papa means weekly trips to La Casita Living down here also afforded me the opportunity to babysit my nephews and niece for the weekend while CJ's babysitter went out of town. He's spoiled by his cousins = hence the bowl of cereal AND the Taquito (or "Paquito" as he calls them) for breakfast. Cousin Josh is a very good cook and lets CJ participate. Notice the flour all over his legs. He's so busy. More attention from his favorite family ever.

We still let El Guille go outside this weekend. He kept wanting one of us to go out too, "No, it's too cold," we said. So he stayed outside with a bright red nose and pink cheeks, refusing to come inside. Fine by me!

I nearly turned on the heat, it's been chilly! But I refuse to turn on the heat until at LEAST October.

What is it with little boys and diets that contain mostly chocolate chip cookies?

I love what you had to say but must confess that I think your parents are absolutely gorgeous! Very pretty family altogether!
