Today was a great day, especially after we were all so sick with a cold/sinus infection last week. I got caught up with some chores and sewing and the boys played well together all day. We have a McDonalds playset (boys’ version of a kitchen) they were playing with. They took turns being the employee and customer. Then, Colin (9-years-old) decided that he wanted to be at a sit-down restaurant instead of McDonald’s. Eamon (4-years-old) was still standing in the “kitchen.” Colin told him he had to go take his order like at Pizza Hut. So, Eamon went to take his order at the kitchen table. He said, “Hello, Sir, May I take your order?” Colin said, “Could I have a menu, please?” Eamon said he didn’t have a menu, but there was one on the cash register (at McDonald’s), so he went and got it. Colin told him what he wanted and Eamon apparently didn’t know what he meant and said Colin would have to draw a picture of what he wanted so he could go back to McDonald’s and make it. Then, Eamon rang up what Colin had ordered and it was about 46 million dollars. Colin said, “This is not worth it and the food’s not that good anyway.”

Later, after dinner, Eamon helped me make cookies. We had the butter, egg, and brown sugar in the mixing bowl and he said, “Mommy, this just looks like brown sugar slime to me.”

This is them eating the “brown sugar slime.” Thank goodness it turned out to be great cookies!

One time during the day, Colin was in the bathroom and Eamon was waiting for him outside the door with a light saber. Colin told him he wasn’t coming out until Eamon counted to 10. Eamon counted and Colin still didn’t come out, so Eamon went in. Colin was hiding in the linen closet. Eamon found him (he knew he was in there somewhere). When they related the story to me, Eamon said, “Mommy, it was a wonderful surprise finding Colin in the closet!”

You just never know what those little guys will say. I have told Colin that God gave us Eamon to keep us entertained and laughing. He is great at it, too!
