Off to a Jewelry Show

So, last night, like many nights, I was getting ready to go to a jewelry show.

My kids can tell when I am going to a jewelry show---

I have on my "jewelry show clothes" as the boys say, all my jewels,

and I a put my bags by the backdoor for Steve to carry out.

Jaden has a ritual before my shows. Hug good-bye. Kiss. Another Hug. High Five!

(this sometimes happens 3 or 4 times!)

So, we do all that.

Then, he still usually follows me to the back-door and

asks for yet another hug and probably a kiss.

(At least I always feel loved as I leave the house!!)

Tonight he asked why I had to go to a jewelry show.

I told him so we could have money to do fun stuff! And I left.

As I'm driving away (I'm in the street already.) Tyler comes running down the drive-way,

"I didn't give you a hug."

Ok, stop the car. Open the door, give Tyler a hug, "I love you."

My car window is down and I look in the front porch to see Jaden and Paige and Steve waving (well, mostly Paige and Jaden waving.)

And, then Jaden YELLS.....

"MAKE LOTS OF MONEY TONIGHT SELLING JEWELRY".

I just CRACKED UP!!!

And, finally....I was off to work, a little later than I had hoped!
