I had a trial scheduled today (that unfortunately was continued) so I was unable to make the trip to pick up the kids, but I couldn't wait to get home to see my Luke and BFF Ella. When they got here, Luke ran up to the door - he just had to show me his new gun - and then needed to know where his "Uncle PePe" was. While he visited with Dixie (his dog), I went outside to find my BFF. As I went out the front door I saw her coming up the ramp. At first I thought she was gonna be shy and I figured that would be ok, I'd give her time to warm back up. It has been almost three weeks since I saw her last. But oh no, I was definately wrong! As soon as she saw me she came running, arms wide open - I got big tight hugs and lots of kisses! She obviously missed me, too! :)
After we came inside, we visited for a few minutes and then I decided to show Luke the new booksack his mom had sent for school. He absolutely loved it. I thought it was spider man colors - but he corrected me quick - it was a Luke Skywalker booksack! He posed for a few pics to show his mom and dad how much he loved it!
Then he wanted to send them a pic of his smile, too! Tooo freakin' cute!
Ella was hooked to my hip for the first little while she was home. Of course, she needed a pic taken, too! You should have heard her giggle when she saw herself in the reverse camera on the iphone. It was toooooo funny!
I tried to get a video of her giggles - but she was much too busy hitting the end button. :)
After getting settled back in - Luke decided that he and I were going to go "hunting" in the living room. Ok, he was hunting and I was enjoying whatever random animal he shot for dinner. He comes up to me and says, "Here Aunt NaNa - a Duck." I, playing along of course, pretended to eat the pretend duck he had just handed me. He busts out laughing and says, "You just ate Duck butt!" I replied, "Yum Yum, I love Duck butt." He smiled and began to hunt again. He comes back and hands me a deer to eat. I again pretend to enjoy this meal. He busts out laughing again and says, "That was deer poop." I of course reply, "Yum Yum, I love deer poop." Bewildered, he looks at me and asks what I don't like. I reply, "Uncle Quincy." He then states, "But I can't hunt Uncle Pe Pe because he is my BFF. You know, Ella is your BFF and I am Uncle Pe Pe's BFF. So what part of the animal don't you like to eat." At this point, the only thing I can think of is "their hair!" He brings me back another deer and as I eat it, he giggles again and says, "You just ate deer hair!" "Gross!" I say. "You shouldn't feed me hair!" He then "hands" me a bowl of beans. I say, "Yum Yum, I love love beans" and begin to pretend to eat them up. He, outsmarting me once again, says "Those beans are made out of hair!!!" What a little trickster!!!
After our butt, poop, and hair meal (ok, we really had corndogs and mac-n-cheese), it was bath time. They sure did have fun lining the animals up and counting them.
A few cartoons and books later, it was time for bed. Luke, who says the dark scares him alot, luckily had a "Luke" flashlight to keep all the "darkness away." (Look by the rail and you can see the little red and blue flashlight.)
Ella took a little longer (as usual). Actually, she fell asleep in my arms as I was typing the first part of this blog. My little sidekick sure does love to help me with everything - including typing a blog for her mommy and daddy.
I sure was glad to get to spend the afternoon and evening with the kiddos. As much as I know they are safe, loved, and well cared for when they are with their dad's family - it is so nice to have them to hug and kiss again!
Until next time - sending love and hugs from little arms and tiny fingers!
