Time Needs To Stand Still

This weekend is already flying by. I wish time would stand still for just a little while. I picked up my munchkins on Thursday night and am enjoying the time with them. Friday night, we spent the evening with my neighbors. I am already seeing how the summer is going to be, partying every Friday night with them. They have a pool and Drama Queen was able to go swimming the first time this season. Lego Man, has swimmer's ear from his dad's hot tub and has to stay out of the water for a little while. He didn't let that discourage him, he used the water cannons to squirt the rest of the kids in the pool. He had more fun then the others. Two of my neighbors, took Lego Man under there wing and taught him how to play darts with us last night. I was in awe as I watched these two men work with my son. They taught him how to shot darts the correct way, giving him lots of pointers. They both were very kind and patient with him. Lego Man doesn't have very many men in his life who he can look up to as a male figure. His dad doesn't always take the time to do "boy" things with him and it was a wonderful site to see him bonding with men errr boys. My dad is good with him, but he doesn't spend as much time with him since we moved last year. No fault of anyone's, we just live about 45 minutes away and it is harder to see them on the weekends. The only other one he has is Bubba. Lego Man is always asking when Bubba is coming over and begs to have him spend lots of time with us on the weekends. Bubba is a great role model and a great young man to have around him. They both have seem to grow closer this last year. Lego Man looks up to Sniper, but no fault of his he hasn't spent much time with him. Before this deployment he was only around him a few times. However, when he called, he always made sure to talk to Lego Man on the phone. Lego Man enjoys talking to him. The rest of our weekend will be to relax, field day the house, 7 & Sun (me studying for my Series 7 in the sun) and go to a Brad Paisley, Josh Turner and Sara Evans concert Sunday night, Bubba, Drama Queen & I. No, Lego Man isn't going. He doesn't do well in crowds and can't handle the noise. He will spend the evening with some one on one time with his dad. The only other thing we will do is go look for a dart board for our house. It seems we have made a little boy an addict. He wants one for our house now too. He has asked me several times this morning let's go to the store. dyzgoneby off to spend time with my munchkins and search for a dartboard 322 days to go, then again he maybe home on leave at the end of summer
