Another Sunday and nothing big happenin'. Markel stayed last night AGAIN. So did Cameron. They were good but spent the last 24 hours playing with each other instead of Ian and Liam. Apparently they don't get to play video games much at their houses 'cause that's all they did here. They went back and forth from the PS2 to the XBox to the Gamecube. My kids play that stuff everyday so that was the last thing they wanted to do when their friends got here.
I finally told Markel it was time to go home. I think he was a little heartbroken but 4 nights and 5 days was long enough. You'd think his mother would miss him and say "No" to his requests to spend the night yet again. But that didn't happen. I have no idea what home life is like for Markel to make him not want to go home for five days straight. I do know his mom has an 8 month old baby, but then we have a 5 month old in our house. That can't be it.
He and his younger sister (Markel is 8) roam the neighborhood until dark just about every day. He's realy no trouble at all..........But he's NOT MINE! He reminds me of a lost puppy where you know he belongs to somebody but he just keeps finding his way back to your house to play.
And he's soooo tiny. Mason was his size at 5 years old! The boys' friend, Sebastian, is not much bigger than Markel and he's 8 too. Ian just turned 10 and he's already as tall as I am (not that I'm tall or anything). I bet he'll be 5'6" by Christmas. I'm glad it's too hot to wear jeans because I'm positive he wouldn't be able to wear a single pair he owns now. Liam is a different story. He's all bone and not a whole lot else. Mason's built like the Incredible Hulk (Thus the nickname MOOSE). Liam and Mason wear the same size clothes with the exception of inseam size. What am I gonna do when they're 13, 14 and 15?! They'll be going through clothes and shoes like toilet paper! Food too, but GEEZE!.......................But boys are STILL easier than girls!
