In the playground with hand grenades

I went downstairs to find out what Dan and Braydon wanted for lunch. I found them watching Saving Private Ryan. I hate war movies and avoid watching them with Dan at all costs. Sorry sweetie, but I just can't watch.

I'm so happy that Braydon is loving watching just as much as Dan. FINALLY someone who can watch them with him! YAY!

Braydon couldn't wait to tell me about the funny part in the movie.

*************** warning, spoiler alert. If you ever want to see the movie and haven't before do not continue reading until after you see it. ***********************************************

They told me in all giggles about the part where they find the wrong Private Ryan and how they tell him all his brothers are dead. The poor man freaks because his little brothers are all in grammar school. Braydon could barely tell me the story he was giggling so hard. Dan had to finish telling me. He said that in the book they tease the poor man that his brothers all died playing with hand grenades on the playground. I know ever movie needs so humor and I think it was funnier to see my two boys laughing about it together. It was like watching two people who shared a funny moment that everyone else just had to be there for.

Later I talked to Lorie and said I was keeping Braydon another night. I can't believe how much easier it is to only have one at a time. I like to take all 3 to give Lorie a well needed break, but I don't think I realized how hard it was. I'm going to take Lance for a day or two this week. Since my brother-in-law isn't coming after all, I am not going completely crazy cleaning like I planned. It's easier because then I can take a boy and have some fun.

Lorie said she felt like we were divorced and planning visitation. It did kind of feel that way as I was telling her I would bring Braydon back tomorrow and pick Lance up on Wednesday. Over the 4th I will have time off too. I think I will offer for Jadon to come stay. I don't think he will as he is a bit shy and not used to sleeping anywhere except Grandma Morris' house. But I hope he will just to give Bill and Beth some time to be together.

I am ending this post now, as I can hear my boys put in a new movie and I think I will empty the dishwasher.....
