Times Are a Changin'

The boys worked their tails off with me all week, cleaning closets, bathrooms, mowing, mopping the garage, and so much more. To reward their hard work, I told them that they could both invite a friend over. Jared invited his buddy Kyle over and Jacob invited his .... GIRLFRIEND!! So Charlee came over about noon and stayed until around 7pm. It was a little wierd because you can't just say go play and forget about them until you hear a call for help or fighting. Instead of listening for noise, you have to listen for quiet. I kept telling Gabe, "Go check on Jacob". At one point Gabe came downstairs to report that they're watching a movie. "What movie", I ask. He replys with, "Something romancing." (The Notebook) It's probably the first movie Jacob had ever seen that wasn't animated, had a sports scene, or violence.
