thanks...or it must be the dim hallway lighting?

My first club member is the child who asked me "whose mom are you?" when I was volunteering today!

James...call # 2

Again a call from James and equally as literal as the first. This time: "My hair is too high. I am a big boy. I am getting a haircut." All I could think of when he said "high" was the guy in the circus w/ the really big hair. James didn't say too long..he said too high!!!!The conversation was a long one because it is really like a BBC delay when you ask him something and then finally get the answer.i love you James..We will see you soon!!!

Not just cell phones

The very pretty Pearl Vodka truck in front of me at a light was distracting...it had photos, which flavor got awards, recipes, the blueberry and pomegranite sounded good... all this on the back and side of a truck.Good thing the light was red so I could read it all!

Dress-up!


Jennie didn't mind costumes and the chance to have more blonde hair. Tyler was more interested in the Halloween button to add to his collection!

A business call

Today James wanted to call me.This is rare. He is very serious and very literal on the phone. You ask about the weather and he answers "cold, a little windy, and a little rainy." I ask how he is.The answer "I am good. " I say we'll see you for Halloween. He tells me "I am am going to be a bat." .... the straight facts....no fooling around. I said "What's new?" He was silent,then said "my helicopter book" .He then left me hanging while he went to get the musical book which he played for me over the phone. No talking,just song after song after song. I wondered if Amy knew he had called.I asked "is Mom there?"..the answer "yes". Finally she came on and said he wanted to call, but she forgot once Jared came home. I ended with "I love you James and heard in return, a serious and emphatic "I love you,too!" Thanks for the call James. You made my day!!
