As my friend Carolyn readily points out when I am frustrated with Hayden's inattentiveness..."The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." The same can be said for me and my mom. After we had a nice picnic at a local park, mom dropped me off at the ranch and she took the kids to the movie. I got a rare break from motherhood, and I used it to prepare school work for Maggie and Lia (we are home preschooling). Several hours into this alone time, the phone rang and it was Brennan informing me that I needed to come pick them up at Walgreen's because my mom couldn't find the car keys. Lest we forget the time I couldn't find my car keys, the boys had to come pick Maggie, Hayden, and I up at the mall (they only had their permits), and then the car had to be towed and new keys made (to the tune of $800.00). Just hours after the new keys were made, Parisian called and said that they had found my keys inside a shoe box. Happily today's story had a happy ending. Just as I was getting home with the kids, and Josh was turning around to go and get my mom (in the Lexus convertible, which he LOVES to drive), my mom came pulling up into the driveway. The rest of the afternoon the kids spent swimming and then Brennan grilled burgers out on the grill for us.
