Another Weekend Come and Gone...

This weekend again flew by and I find myself counting the weeks until spring break. The boys had a good weekend and got a chance to see some of Nick's relatives while I got the chance to see a few family members on my side.

Today Geremu laid down with me to take a nap, he never fell asleep and told me after about 30 minutes that naps give him a stomach ache. Yeah right kid- I don't buy it. Anyways, after resting a while I let him get up. When I went down stairs with him Cullen wanted to snuggle with me. So we went upstairs and Cullen had made a tent by draping blankets off the top bunk. When Geremu found us in the comfort of that tent he really wanted to join us because, "I love naps." Yeah right kid, why won't you actually fall asleep anymore?

One thing lead to another and the next thing I know Cullen has talked Geremu into making us popcorn and chocolate "If you know how to make that.". Geremu leaves and I'm thinking this was all just a plot Cullen used to get more alone time with me because I'm sure Geremu doesn't know how to make popcorn or chocolate... Then I hear popcorn being dumped out... A bit of a struggle... I jump out of the tent and head downstairs expecting disaster.

I find Geremu struggling to get the microwave door open. There is no mess and he has put just the right amount of popcorn into the bowl. Apparently Geremu does know how to make popcorn. I helped him cook it and Geremu sprayed on the "I can't believe it's not butter" before adding the perfect amount of spices to the popcorn- he had retrieved all the ingredient from the cabinets himself. Freakin' amazing! After he brought it up to Cullen, Cullen asked for the chocolate to which Geremu said, "I go get it". I stopped him at that point and we just enjoyed the popcorn, which was delightful!

Late afternoon fun for Geremu included a sink full of water and a few toys.

That's awesome. Sometimes little kids' freakish talents are just plain awesome.
