Playin' a little hookie

I made an executive decision this morning.  I decided it was a great day to play hookie.  Grayson woke us all up at 3 a.m., because he got scared and accidentally woke Grant up, and then both of them climbed into our bed.  I finally kicked them out at four, because none of us were going back to sleep.  So, anyway, when it was time to get up for school Grayson was sooo sound asleep, I just didn't have the heart to wake him.  That's not the only reason either.  He and I haven't been getting along very well lately, and I thought it would do us both good to just hang out together for the day. 

I gave him a choice of two picnic locales, and let him help plan our day.  His choices were to picnic at the park and then go for ice cream (that would be ice water for me).

We've had a wonderful day, and I think the time we've spent together has cured whatever weirdness was going on before.  I love that boy of mine, and if I occasionally have to buy his affection with a trip to the park and the ice cream parlor, then so be it!  I ain't too proud.

Nothing like a picnic and ice cream for bringing families together :-)
