When both Grant and Simon stayed with us the second time, my boys reacted in true brotherly fashion–they showed their asses. Of course, had it just been Grant the 2nd time, we wouldn’t have cared so much. But Grant’s parents were here too, and let me tell ya, I was a smidge irritated at my spawn. However, I know that’s how boys show affection.

I just wish their affection could be shown in some form other than farting, burping, poking, yelling, and sticking dirty stinky feet in faces!

We have a white board where we usually write their chores. They took the board over and wrote SLIMON IS WEIRD and GRANT IS STINKY. SLIMON IS WIERD (yes it’s spelled that way) is still our screen saver as a matter of fact.

Methinks they do protest too much.

Especially after last night when Rader asked if he could email Grant. Even Ian said he’d probably email him this week. Kinda sweet really.

Grant took over the white board before he left. Despite the written order not to erase it, I had to this morning. (sorry) Chores come first! Here’s just a little reminder of his visit.

On a good note, Fishdog finally returned home last night from his conference in Chicago. I’m sure glad he’s back.
