the greatest boss ever lives at our house.

I am busy packing my kitchen and my boys are busy building some kind of "mega fort" with the couch cushions and a few empty boxes. As I am packing I hear this conversation-- (oh how I wish their voices were recorded...)

Ben: If we want to make a bed inside, we need a boss to tell us what to do.

Luke: Cool!

Ben: I will be the boss and I promise you, I will be the greatest boss you've ever had.

Luke: Ok. what should I do?

Ben: Well, the reason why I am the greatest boss is because you don't have to do ANYTHING!

Luke: That is an easy job!

Ben: You don't have to do anything except clean up those wrappers, pick up those pillows and straighten those blankets!

Luke: Okay, and after I do that, then I don't have to do anything else?

Ben: Not unless I think of something else.

Luke: You ARE the greatest boss ever.

Ben: I told ya. And the best part about it is you do it all for FREE!

Luke: Wahoo!

Here is where I chime in: SO.... If Ben is the bossy boss and Luke is the blanket straightener, what is Zack?

Ben: He's nothing but a trouble maker.

Luke: Yeah, all he does is destroy everything we've ever created!

Zack: YA!!! (which made everyone giggle.)

Other good news is Zack is back to being underwear boy! No more diapers and no more accidents. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he will remain dry through the move!



The sun is still shining in Vegas.

It's fun for me to be able to keep up with the boys and their funny conversations. You should get a recorder. Good they entertain themselves while you are packing. I expected to read Aaron was the boss. ha ha
Password problem again! Bev

That's good news about the potty training. Sorry to hear everyone has been sick. Good luck with all you have going on girl. I don't envy right now.

He's really got the knack hasn't he! I wish I had those leadership skills - make everyone else do the work, while thinking they're doing nothing and that not getting paid is a BONUS! He'll go far!
