Every Friday night Mom has dinner with my brother and his family so I thought that would be a good time for me to catch up with all of them at once. But since I'm on vacation this week I didn't even realize it was Friday. Mom and I were chatting as they arrived.
Jack was in front of the camera the whole evening. He'd forget I was there for a second, then remember and make a silly face at the computer. We played Legos, or rather he played and I watched. He sat me (the computer) at the table with them and they ate a ham dinner. With chocolate ice cream for desert. The boys kept feeling me ham and ice cream by holding their spoons up to the computer. I had a great time.
They are going to a pumpkin farm tomorrow. I felt sad when Joey said, "I want you to go! But you can't because you live too far." My favorite line from Joey was after he was told to say excuse me because he burped. His reply, "I can't. My mouth is full." Well, he did have a point. But as my brother pointed out, if he could say all of that with a full mouth, he can say, "Excuse me." That boy cracks me up.
I took the computer into the kitchen and showed Jack the wall where I hang art he made for me. I could hear him say, "Coooool." He liked seeing that his art was hanging in my kitchen in Honduras.
When it was time for them to head back home Jack kissed the computer good bye. Joey did the same.
I love that they are old enough to want to know me better. Jack asked what is my favorite book. He recited the first five minutes of Star Wars. Apparently that's his new thing - Star Wars. Until now, I have had a hard time keeping up with these things! I hope this will be the start of a new custom.
I wish I could go to the pumpkin patch with them. It certainly was nice to spend a few hours with them by computer.
