COUSIN WEEK 2018

Once again, GJ and Grandpa Bob took all of the cousins for a week, with Emmie being the oldest cousin present (Matthew is the oldest, but in college).

Day 2:

I get a call from an 815 #.  I answer the call and am hung up on.  The same # calls back:

Mom:  Hello.

Emmie:  Oh, you're there.  Hi Mommy!

(conversation ensues)

Emmie:  I'm going to give the phone to Mason so he knows I'm actually talking to you.  He thinks I'm pretending.

Mom:  Why doesn't he think you're talking to me?

Emmie:  He doesn't think you can actually call someone on this old phone with push buttons.

I assured Mason that the phone was real, Emmie asked for Eric's phone # and then told me she had to go because the cousins were going to take turns calling their parents.  

I got a call (at least one) from that 815 # each and every day!

Wednesday:

While on the phone, "I can't believe it myself, but I suggested that we go retro for a day and not have electronics."

GJ asked the cousins what their favorite part of the week was.  Emmie's response, "That we were together."

After pick-up, Emmie was recounting Sean and Noelle's wedding ceremony:

"I said I'd only be part of it if I got to be the one that read from the Bible (for the record, they actually found a Bible)......and then I said, Sean, do you take Noelle to be your AWFULLY wedded wife?  And Noelle, do you take Sean to be your AWFULLY wedded husband?

Emmie always seems to win the jackpot.  Like Mom and Grandpa, Lucky Duck!   3 hours later, GJ texted that the 3rd show was starting.  Cousins were happy.  GJ was hungry for the not Chuck E. Cheese nutrient dense dinner that was awaiting her at home.
