A Break From Vacation

While hearing about every detail of our family vacation may be exciting for us, we realize it may be a little less exciting for our loyal followers, all three of you.  So here is a little story that perfectly sums up Boodles new found personality…

On the way home from vacation, we dropped Kevin off in Rhode Island so he could attend a week-long conference on how to be a leader.  Meanwhile, I got to try to tame the children after their week-long sugar and sleep-deprived high. While Boodle is proving to be a challenge even on a good day these days, his vacation recovery was an extra treat.  By the end of the day on Monday, I was beat. I spend literally, 20 minutes trying to convince Bodie to lie down so I could change his dirty diaper.  Finally he asked me where he should lie down.  I was so excited that he was going to comply, that I ignored the little mischievous look in his eye and replied, “Anywhere! I don’t care, just lay down so I can change your diaper!”  With a smirk that let you know Bodie knew exactly what he was doing, he proceeded to climb into the large magazine basket in our living room and lay down…Kevin better get a promotion for this week away!
