Another quote

Kaj and Brandi had another wonderful weekend with Auntie Bette and Auntie Doris.  This first pictures is actually from when Brandi went to Grand Portage for an archaeological dig with her friend Leah.

 Brandi chilling making ducktape wallets.

 Kaj working on legos.

 Dusty waiting to get her couch back.  Kaj was just not waking up! (I love this picture.)

So after this wonderful weekend Brandi went to her mothers and Kaj stayed in Duluth as well with Auntie Karen and Uncle Bob.  I am picking him up on Tuesday but then I was coming down to stay next weekend with Auntie Karen and I wondered if he wanted to come too or stay home with Daddy.  His response "Totally yes, well I have to see how this goes but right now it is an A+ situation!"  

Kaj is moving to Canada

Sometimes there can be a little too much togetherness.  Kaj and Brandi were laughing when they went to bed last night and today now they are about ready to kill each other.  I called home to check in and Kaj "wants to move to Canada" and wanted me to bring him right now so he would be far away from Sissy because "she was working me too hard".  I said if he moved to Canada I would miss him.  He said I could come and live with him but then I said I would miss Sissy.  He said she could come visit for one day but that was it "just one day".  Brandi will be gone next week to her moms.  It is probably a good thing for them to have a little break.  But it will be about 2 days and Kaj will be missing her already.

Got spanked

This weekend the family and Grandpa went up to help at Karli's house for a bit.  We did a bunch of weeding and planted flowers.  Organized stuff and cleaned up the garage.  After the kids and Skinner had left Grandpa, Auntie and I were sitting on the couch and Grandpa had to check the weather.  He was making comments like "some rain there" "good no flooding there" "flashflood warning here"  And then he pointed to his radar on the phone and said "that is where we are going to get spanked"  Just another comment, no excitment to his voice and Auntie and I just started to laugh.  Not a phrase he uses often.  Well we did a bit more and then I packed up and left.  Boy did I get spanked on the way home.  I should have pulled over but of course I didn't.  Rain, hail, hydroplaning...Crazy.  We got over 1/2 inch in that little burst.  There was literally a river running through the front yard.  Kaj couldn't be more thrilled about it.

Music to my ears!

So these days Kaj needs his mommy less and less.  So today when I went home for lunch and Kaj was hanging out with his Sister (a rock star in his eyes) and he says Mommy you need to take the rest of the day off and stay home...And then he says I was lonely for a WHOLE minute so you need to stay home.  Some times the little spit fire can really melt your heart!
