Our final stop on our month-long road trip was our stop at Seth’s house. Of course my kids loved every second of nonstop play with cousins. They go ALL DAY LONG when they are at Seth’s house. The energy level is off the charts, but they have incredible sleeps there. Which allows them to go again the next day all over again!
The only hard part about Seth’s house is that Dash thinks he is one of the big kids and tries to keep up.
He was so sad when I made Christian bring him back down from up the hill on his scooter.
Something about him being 1/4 mile away on a scooter at the ripe old age of 21 months had me a little worried.
But we just found him a good dress-up and he was happy again.
These two little girls spent their days collecting.
(You know — Navy’s ultimate past time.)
Too bad, bugs were at the peak of their season, and were collected day after day.
Worse than that - - too bad Scout thought it would be so funny to show off his roly poly eating skills.
But that was nothing compared to the night we found this HUGE beetle flopping around.
All of the kids were running from it, and/or kicking it towards the other kids who screamed with real terror.
After the night of fooling with it, it laid dead on the ground.
And then Seth got bargaining.
Whomever would eat it would get $100 from Nonnie.
Knowing that NOBODY would eat it, she was happy to oblige.
But then Grant grabbed it, and was ready to bite off the head when Seth stopped it and told him he wasn’t allowed to do it.
The fact that he might have is insane!
INSANE!
But then my smart little cookie (Scout) started mouthing off that he was going to eat it.
I told him it WAS allowed with me for $100!
(I don’t think he would have ever done it.)
Then my mom, knowing he eats roly polies, stopped him and said she would give him $20 if he didn’t eat it.
DONE!
And now my boy sits $20 richer.
Nice work Scout!
