Jackson, Cage, and Brandt came to stay with Nonnie and Pappy. Macie and Blake were beyond thrilled to spend time with Jackson and Cage. Eventually Weston, Brandt, and Blair with be just as thrilled to play with each other or chase the older cousins. How much fun to watch them play, listen to their sweet conversations, and enjoy life through their eyes. One of my favorite moments was when the kids prayed before lunch. Jackson started by saying. "Thank you, God, for this hot dog." Macie followed with thanking God for her family, friends, and many blessings. Cage thanked God for his Mom, Dad, and Brandt. Jackson told him he left him out. Blake finished by saying, "Thank you, God for Batman and Superman. Amen." Then he said kind of laughing, "I thanked God for Batman and Superman." As they were praying I was thinking I wish I was videoing this and then after the prayer I really wish I would have videoed it.
Nonnie was reading the kids a book which they listened to intently. When it was over they said they were going back into the closet to read their books. They found one of Mom's books but were making up their own stories.
Back to their own books. I think it is funny that the kids wind up in the closet playing because that is where we would always play when we went to my Meme and Pappy's house when we were kids.
We told the kids they needed to potty and wash their hands before they ate lunch and made ghost. It was a race to the finish line...well the POTTY that is! The boys all started going at once and Macie was probably wishing she could somehow be a part of that but had to wait until the boys were finished.
The ghost were a success.
There was a lot of licking and sneaking "eyes" while they made the ghost.
What a beautiful fall day for races and playing outside.
