I am going home with you

Yesterday I made the trek down the freeway to see Amber. I do not think I have gotten over her moving and not seeing her everyday. But while I was driving down there, I was thinking well today is gonna be a day that I am going to have to think about what I am going to blog.

Little did I know what was in store for me when I got there. I thought I would blog about the Veggie Sandwich dinner I was going to subject the family to. Someone was going to whine. I just knew it. Somewhere in the last two days I decided as a family we are going to eat less meat. They do not know it yet, but they will get the hint soon. I thought I would blog about finding the mundane things and that I was so desperate to bake I was going to bake with Nathan in Amber's kitchen.

As soon I walked through her door, Nathan comes up to me and says, I am going home with you. I laugh and tell him, but then your mom will miss you. He keeps telling me that he is going home with me.

We baked a batch of brownies from scratch, have lunch, goofy around for a bit. OK confession, Amber and I talked coupons, deals and sorted. I know we are sick like that.

When it was time to wrap up, Nathan, is telling all of us that he is coming home with me. He gets his shoes on and ready. I look at Amber, guess who is coming home with me? Yep we loaded Nathan up in my car and he came with me. We had to make a stop, at the new veggie market where we discussed colors and needing nacks (snacks). He needed carrots and orange juice. I am a suckers cause I got him carrots and orange juice. Checking out he gave the carrots to the checker and said this is my nack. She gave him a sucker. We ran home to drop stuff off and then when to get the girls.

Princess Girly Girl screamed, NATHAN!!! I am so excited. He gave her a carrot. Princess Seriously did not notice until he said Hi. Then she screamed! We went home.

PGG had to go to a church activity but she was not real happy about it. Nathan hung a home for a moment while I dropped her off. He was being crazy with PS. They like hanging out. Went I got back he said, where is PGG? Then asked for a nack.

We played outside, with chalk and rode scooters. Then we sat down for dinner. Nathan wanted everything. It was adorable. LeeLee and Cat joined us too cause they could. It was veggie sandwich night. I did have some roast beef on stand by cause I was scared that everyone was going to freak. Nope! Yummy bread, a homemade cream cheese spread, cucumbers, red onions, tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts, red leaf lettuce avocado, Munster cheese and cheddar cheese! Yum! Menji was scared when I told him veggie sandwiches over the phone. I think the home made brownies helped too, that was batch number two for those following the brownies.

After dinner was Wii time, bath time and clean up time. Nathan had a bath by PS and then was stuck putting on one off PGG t-shirts. He was not thrilled with the kitty cats and heart but at least it was not pink. He survived. His dad came to get him after a work meeting and Nathan told me he was so tired. He was adorable.

So that was my very Molly Mormon day, cause I did manage to make ONE MORE batch of brownies to send with Menji to work. Cleaned up and only left a load of laundry on the table again. I was a reminder of days past when it was Tyler hanging out and my girls were 5 years younger.

I so need to do it again.
