Tuesdays With MeMe

As you might remember from previous

"Tuesdays With MeMe" posts

John Brady always wants to go with his Mommy

when she leaves to take the girls to dance

It would really be easier if his

Karate classes were on Tuesday nights

but alas

that is the only night that they don't have

them for his age

Kim and I try to find something to make him want to stay

home or aka stay with MeMe

Kim had the perfect distraction this past week

A helium tank with balloons

JB3 and MeMe has a ball

I blew up, tied the balloons

and then tied it to a string for over an hour

JB3 had them all on the ceiling in his

Mom and Dad's bedroom

It looked like a party

As I blew up a balloon with the last of the helium

I told JB3 to get them all together

and we would make a balloon bouquet

I was pretty proud of myself

John Brady was happy

and I felt pretty tickled myself

As I tied that last balloon to a string

John Brady yelled

come look MeMe

as I looked up from tying my last balloon

I saw JB3 on the outside porch

pointing upward

I ran outside in time to see all 14 or so balloons sailing upward

in the air

Oh Well

He was thrilled

and happy

and

that's all that mattered!

The only balloon left
