Me and Big Jake

My little guy Jake called me all Saturday afternoon to come over to my house. I have Sophie every week, Luke when school is out on Fridays and in the summer, and we take Nate alot after his games, but Jake never gets to come alone. (Max still wants his mom.) When I finally got home from visiting with Judy and Robyn, he headed over with his toothbrush and his puppy. We watched Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events, played an UNO tournament, petted Tigger, snacked, visited with both Uncle Zach and Aunty Hannah, and many other things before we crawled into bed at midnight. Other than his clock whirling shenanigans -you know, where he ends up with his feet on my pillow and his head under the covers- we had a good night. We awoke bright and too early and he started the day by hand feeding Tigger for me. He then settled in to watch Violet, Klaus and Sunny from Lemony Snicket again with Tigger on his lap. He loves the part with Sunny and the snake, and was quoting things from the movie all day."Soda, soda, ba-na-na" and "Watch out for the refrigerator, if it falls it'll crush you flat." He spend time with Hannah, and chatted with Aunty Emily on the computer (calling her Emmy Booty Butt!) before we left for an outing. We walked through Unique Thrift where he talked me into buying him a pair of Spiderman disk shooters, and a couple books for Nathan (including A Series of Unfortunate Events). He wanted McDonald's for lunch, so McDonald's it was. We had planned to go to Como Zoo but it was too crowded with Winter carnival Events, so he picked out The Karate Kid DVD to watch. He was only half way through it when Molly and Jeff came to get him. I had a good time and he did too. I like one-on-one time with the grand kids the best. They get to be spoiled a little and the center of attention, and I get to really enjoy them and their fun little personalities.
