Yay! They're home!

Starting this week, JR and JC attend an hour of after school tutoring on Mondays and Wednesdays to help prepare them for the standardized testing that takes place next month (my feelings about this entire experience I shall not share here right now). HT and I went to the grocery on Monday while they were gone, but yesterday we came home right after school. He had a snack, but had no homework to complete so he went out to "shoot some hoops" (he loves to say that). After a short time, he came in and asked if I wanted to throw the football with him. I agreed, and we went out and threw the football a bit, and played a quick game of one-on-one with the basketball (while I may have him height, he gets me on energy level!) and then we even played around on the swing set for a few minutes. I enjoyed hearing him tell me a few things about his day, and I loved what happened next even more. I noticed JR and JC crossing the street to our house and I pointed out to HT that they were home. He ran to them from the back yard yelling, "Yay, you're home!" It was so cute how much he had missed them in just an hour and it was very sweet to see how happy he was that they were home!
