Today was the day we pulled off the biggest surprise in recent family history!
Our victim...Callum
Some mad & sneaky texting & phone call skills plus some mad driving skills (even if he was a little whiny about it today) by Mr.LaBenz enabled one of Callums bff's to show up today, completely unannounced (to Callum) all the way from hot & sweaty Memphis, Tennessee!! The boys haven't seen each other since we said tearful goodbyes last July in Naples...and the best part, Chase gets to stay with us until Friday!!!!!
Cal was in shock! Chase knocked at the door & I sent Cal to open it, following closely with my camera...it seemed to take forever for him to open the door as he tried to figure out how in the world Chase got on the other side of it!!!
After some stunned silence on Cals part & some yelling of "TWO DAYS....I'VE KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR TWO DAYS!!!!!" from Chase, the boys managed a hug...Cal I think was pretty close to shedding tears of joy, but pulled the manly man card and held it together!
Poor Tim, Chases dad barely got a goodbye out of him as the boys quickly made up for lost time, talking a mile a minute, comparing Nintendo facts & figures and catching up on anything and everything they could think of....
In other weekend news, Finley has taken up a nudist approach to gardening it seems...
And the older children have taken to creating their own summer version of extreme sports...the idea is that you get an inflatable kiddie pool & fill it with approx 2-3 inches of water, you then run at break neck speed down the yard & leap into the slippery wet pool. As any good parent would do, sensing complete and utter chaos was imminent, I set myself up at a safe distance to capture the craziness on camera...
They ended the afternoon with an oldie but a goodie...Hose Firing squad!
It's going to be a crazy week....I can just tell!
