Weekend with George

Ben skating with George


Benjamin took home "George," the class monkey, for the weekend. We were supposed to bring George all around with us, and then report on his whereabouts in a journal that came with the monkey, blanky, and bag. It was just extra cute to see Ben toting around a stuffed animal. He is usually my tough, non-snuggly guy and this seemed to make him soften up a bit. At least for this weekend.
Here is what Ben's journal enry said...
"I was so excited to have a turn with George. At first, I didn't know what we would do together, but then mom said we were going skating. George loved to skate, but I only liked it a little bit. On Saturday, we went to my sisters' basketball game, the YMCA, and to the movies to see Megamind. George was especially handy on Saturday night, because we went camping in the back yard and he helped me to not be afraid. We had a fire with s'mores and everything. On Sunday we took it easy. After lunch, we went to church together. George wasn't used to three hours of church , but after a few snacks and some fun lessons, he was ok with it. I liked having George. It was fun and I will miss him."

Thanks for sharing the story about Ben and George. I love reading about what your family is doing. Even if the day to day things seem not so exciting, it's still fun for me to read.
