I Don't Know What to Title This...

Well, The Boy is happy. He has his Oma here waiting on him hand and foot. I can only imagine how spoiled he would be if we still lived near them!



Mike turned our builder into the BBB about the condition they left our empty lot in. They did a terrible job grating and planting it and it never grew plus they filled in a ravine that shouldn't have been filled in and now there are drainage issues. We got a response that they are going to come out and redo it all so we had to go out and discuss it with the expert (Jim).



While we were out there Opa found an arrow head for Jayke. You know how boys get excited about these things. He immediately stuffed it in his pocket so he wouldn't lose it. In the middle of the night he started yelling in his sleep about the arrow head. Scared me to death. I couldn't figure out what he was screaming about. The Boy has as many conversations in his sleep as he does when he is awake and that is A LOT!



I have to post this next picture because it is something few people have been lucky enough to see in there lifetime...



That would be two men in the kitchen, cleaning! One with a broom and the other with the vacuum. When Opa went to get a glass to drink that berry whine/shine stuff it flew out of the cabinet and shattered all over. Every time he is here something falls at his head. He thinks I plan it. I don't. No really, I don't!

Today I took Oma and Opa around to look for houses. Eventually they are buying one down here. Jayke got tired of that real quick. The Boy has to learn as I did when I was little. Looking at houses is what we do. Opa is a developer/builder, my mom is an interior designer, my grandfather was a builder, my grandmother was in real estate and I worked in interior design with my mom for 10 years. It is in our blood. I hated it as a child too but grew to love it. Jayke will too, whether he likes it or not. At least today we only drove through neighborhoods. Wait until we start dragging him to models!

Mom and I took him swimming this evening. He really wasn't into to it though. My mom actually thought she would be able to get in the pool with me and not get her hair wet. Ha! She should have known better. Opa and Mike stood on the deck above us and just watched and shook their heads as we tried to drown each other. She tried to talk me out of it by telling me she thought I was an adult now. Bwahahahahah!(evil laughter) That just makes it easier for me to dunk her!

Tomorrow Opa is going to unhook all my audio visual equipment and hook it all up correctly. Mike can operate multi million dollar robots but he apparently can't hook up av equipment correctly. Don't tell him I said that! Last night he told me he only checks my blog about once a week just to see what embarrassing s**t I've put on here of him. I told him I'm sure I can do better than what I have so far. I will have to work on that. Right now, I'm going to work on going to sleep before 4 a.m.

P.S. I have been reading how everyone is reading their Harry Potter books so when I got this in an email I decided to post it for all you HP fans out there...This is my cousin and her family at the book party at Borders in New Jersey. They made the paper. Cracked me up.



Note: Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and check out the really interesting clock down there.

Looks like fun!

how cool to find an arrowhead. If he ever takes it out of his pocket, you should mount it in a showbox with that picture.

Dont you know that it is every Oma's job to spoil the little ones? Youll have your chance to do the same someday...

Jenn and I took Maci and Ethan to the party at Books-A-Million at midnight. Ethan is a HP nerd...Maci wants to be...but she hasn't touch her book since. She was more into getting a latte there. Get the pics I sent ya??? AP

Jenie--I put the picture up for you. I knew you would like it!

Patti--Mike visits the blog but it ususally isn't completely without argument.

Katie--So far, so good!

Tommiea--That is a great idea!

Kathy--Mine too!

Half-Mexican Mama--I know but it is almost sickening the way he acts around her. Someday I will repay him.

Angi(anonymous)--Not yet. I will go check the email now. Sounds like you and Jen are doing a lot more together now that you live together...almost.

Okay, the pic of Oma and Jayke in the chair is HILLARIOUS! She looks so much like she is trying to discipline him and he is just like oh my, this is funny!

Wendy said...

AJ--Discipline? Ha! Surely you jest!
