Amy decided she has had enough of car shows and asked (actually told but I’m in a generous mood this morning – probably because she’s still asleep) to skip the show. So I’m home with her. Now, I’m a bit over the whole car show thing, too, seeing as I’ve been to a gazillion car shows in the sixteen years I’ve been married to Sean. I’m not heartbroken about staying home. But I will miss seeing the sheer joy on my boys’ faces when they look at all that shiny sheet metal. Plus, Rebecca seems to be following in the car-loving footsteps of her father; I will miss seeing her trying to keep up with the boys.
I have great plans to get a bunch of cleaning and ironing done (I am living large, my friends, living large) and I know I’ll get caught up in the busyness of my chores. But when they call to tell me what marvelous things they’re seeing a part of me will miss being with them.
I just hope someone takes some pictures with people in them, not just cars…
Everyone was bright-eyed this morning before leaving for the car show.
What a great thing for them all to do together. And how great that Sean's dad will get to go this year too.
ReplyDeleteAnd it looks like you provided them a very nice breakfast before they went. :)
Enjoy your day!

I see why you burn through the OJ so fast.
ReplyDeleteFeeling as if I"m missing out! :-(
ReplyDeleteWow! Look at the a.m. OJ consumption in this family! You should get a kick back from Minute Maid! (It's amazing what people notice in these pics, isn't it?) Love ya!

Ahhh, my men always loved the Detroit Auto Show too. Did Wally ever tell you about the time his Christian and our Jon almost got kicked out of the show? They used some computers that were set up showing pretty pictures and video and figured out how to get online. That was supposed to be "impossible" but you know those boys never met a computer challenge they didn't want to take on :-) And they proved that nothing is impossible with a little know-how. I think they were all of 12 or 13 at the time. LOL
ReplyDeleteI must admit that the OJ consumtion looked normal and happy to me... then again, I have to plan on buying 2 gal of OJ a week. Fortunately, my crew is okay with the cheaper stuff!
