The CFO is leaving on a work retreat today; Jr. and I will be left to our own devices for a few days. It should be pretty fun: there are a lot of games that we can only play when mommy is not around. By Friday Jr. should be much handier with a BB gun than he is now, and should be able to gas up and then get the chainsaw started on his own, without daddy’s help. I also hope to teach him the “it’s so fun to mow the lawn” game. Or it’s quite possible we’ll lay around and watch TV for three days. Really, it could go either way.
