Where Are you Grandma?

Where, oh where, are you Grandma, how could you leave me here all alone?
(with these parents who have RULES, ugh, thank goodness for grandmas)

Little Buckaroo stood at our front fence for almost 30 minutes on Friday waiting for his Grandma to arrive from Mississippi, which aside from being one of the sweetest things I have ever seen is amazing because he never stays in one place for this long. Our dog joined him so he could have someone to talk to because let me tell you, this little boy is chatty. Yes, he does take after his mom, but whew, I even get tired sometimes. Plus, he asks very intelligent questions for a boy who just turned 5. Such as, "mom what is truth?" "If God and Jesus are kinda one, is God by himself in Heaven doing everything?""Did you know a T-rex is a carnivore but was smaller than the brachiosauras?"

Big Buckaroo and I left the boys with Grandma for the day on Saturday to go look for land to build a cabin on. We were gone for about 16 hours, just he and I, the first time in 5 years we have spent that much time together without little ones. We had planned on even spending the night out, but I was feeling bad and Littlest Buckaroo was sick at home with a fever, runny nose, and caughing. Now, we have a house full of sick people.

Big Buckaroo and I did enjoy a wonderful sunset, talking without any commentary from the backseat, and a wonderful dinner where no kid meals were ordered. Life is good!
