Since Chris will be going directly to a Reading Royals game after work today I was trying to think of something unique to do with the boys today after school so that the day wouldn't seem so long with just the three of us and it being so cold out that we're stuck inside. Nana and Pop have a piece of property that they've got a pole barn on so far and will be putting a house there within a few months and we hadn't seen it yet so I decided to drive out there to have a look and maybe have a walk around. It was really muddy so we didn't do any walking - well, I did, but since I didn't think ahead to put boots in the car the boys still had school shoes on and I had them stay in the car while we looked around. On the way there the kids were filled with questions about where the property was and when Nana and Pop pop would be there. I had to explain that they don't live there yet but are moving their stuff to get ready to put the house there and that they will live closer to us than the four hour drive we have to do now to get to Southern Maryland.
Josh asked if they're bringing the old house with them and I told them the house would be a new one and would be coming on a truck like the ones we've seen lots of times during our trips out to Lancaster. It would be great to be able to be there when the house is delivered, how often do you get to see something like that? The boys were asking if we could play with stuff once we got to the place and it took a while till the concept of Nana and Pop pop not actually being there today sunk in. Dima was intrigued by a windmill that you can see from where the house will be. I took a few pictures of the lot while we were there and drove down the street to check out the neighborhood. The place seems like it's a good spot and should be nice. During the drive the kids were arguing over the words to Christmas songs especially "Here Comes Santa Clause" and Dima kept us posted as we went by different Christmas decorations along the way. Josh was copying what Dima was saying at one point - word for word- and after listening to them for a while I tried to explain to Dima that if he was just quiet that Josh wouldn't have anything to copy but he didn't want to hear that solution so they did it for a while including dima trying to make up new songs so Josh couldn't follow the lyrics. I'm sure that the copying thing came from the movie "Meet the Robinsons" cause that's the movie of the moment since we watched it over the weekend, so now they quote scenes from the movie and want to watch it again and again.
