Welcome to my Life.

I'm spending the weekend in Indiana. My brother and sister-in-law had planned a weekend away, so they asked if I would like to bring my kids and come hang at their house for the weekend with their kids. So that is where I am.

Today my 7 year old nephew, Dylan, ran upstairs while I was making dinner and asked if he could please have a snack because he was so hungry and didn't think he could make it until dinner. I smiled and let him know that wasn't a good idea because any snack so close to dinner would start to fill him up...and so on and so on...

My 6 year old son was standing behind Dylan while I launched into my snack lecture. He stepped closer to him, put his arm around him and quietly said, "Welcome to my life Dylan."

Haha--I've heard this snack lecture. That's awesome, some of the stuff Jaden says. One of my favorites is "you're ruining the moment" also said in a serious tone when too much talking is going on (in this instance we were watching animals at the zoo).
