Lucky Charms or Frosted Flakes?

Today I had to stop by the house and talk to the cabinet guy. The kids where with me, but they haven't been in the house since the fire so they just sit in the car. Before you call K-EYE news and report me for leaving children in the car during a Texas summer they have the air on and the music going. They've been told the house is too dirty for them to go in. So anyway, I was in the house about 20 minutes going over some changes, and when I returned to the car this is the conversation I had with Aidan.

Aidan: "Mom, you where gone a long time." Insert crying and heavy sobbing.
Mom: "I'm sorry Aidan I thought you would be OK. You knew I was right inside the house."
Aidan: "I know Mom, but you where gone so long I thought you were dead!"
Mom: "Aidan, I'm sorry I didn't mean to worry you."
Aidan: "I was worried Mom, I thought who was going to pour my cereal."

So there it is all the hours of care and love boiled down to what is really the most important - the morning cereal. It kind of puts all those adult problems into perspective. I mean how bad could it be as long as the Honey Nut Cheerios get poured.

Great pictures from Mother's Day, especially at Chandlers and the pool pictures. They also showed Lauren's many outfit changes to include no clothes at all!
Love, Gramma
