Jammy's Monster Mash

Jammy's school had a big Fall Festival on Friday night. Mom was working at the front door greeting guests as they arrived, so Jammy and Macho had the run of the place, unsupervised.

It was going pretty well. Why does Mom worry so much anyway? The boys are fine without someone hovering around them all night.

Until, Mom saw a boy from Jammy's LEGO Club, directing Macho through the building. He asked Mom, "Where's Jammy?"

Mom said, "In the music room."

Boy from LEGO Club, "Okay. Macho, you come here with me," and led Macho to the drinking fountain to get a drink.

Mom thinks, How sweet, Macho made a friend.

The mother of the boy from the LEGO Club walked up and asked, "Did you find his mom, yet?'

Mom, "I'm his mom."

The mother of the boy from the LEGO Club, "He followed us out to our car."

Mom was horrified. Macho was following people he just met, out to their car, in the dark. What if they didn't notice he was with them? What if they hadn't been such nice people? This is why Mom hovers!

But, Mom was also touched by the care that the other little boy took of Macho. The boy from the LEGO Club wasn't going to let Macho out of his sight until he was safely back with Jammy.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Mom (whose door duties were finished) took Macho to the music room to watch Jammy perform.

It's good to know that there are such nice boys around.

Jib Jab Rocks!

Jammy has been learning new Halloween songs from Jib Jab videos. He LOVES the Jib Jab website, but it's not all age appropriate. Mom was a little shocked when Jammy showed her the video he made by putting all of his family members' heads onto a video of a group of shirtless, Chippendales dancers.

This other video that he made, however, is funny.
