Does anyone need me to translate that? I am in the motherland of Texas for a month so expect a marked decline in grammar and vocabulary. The funniest phrase I've heard so far is "That's crazier than a goose in the new world!" Still trying to figure out what that means...
But this is the root of our childrens' need to spend a month in Texas. I am slowly forgetting my native tongue! And just the other day Jacob told me something was, like, totally cool! A pilgrimmage was the only solution, even with the ever-looming track record of Jake's Texas visits being directly proportional to ER visits.
So far we've done fun things like eat enchiladas almost every day and redneck things like eating watermelon while barefoot in the yard. We've chased chickens and found a mysterious clue on a shiny piece of pleather written in Magic Marker (highly authentic to a 4 year-old) in the barn that lead to...
A possum hole in a tree with another petina-less clue that lead to...
A pond and some shovels. Eventually the boys unearthed...pirate treasure? Apparently these pirates never lost their keys or kept a blow torch handy. Only a grandfather would devise a plan involving preschoolers and a blow torch. :-) 
Inside were animal pelts, somewhat shady holy relics, jewels and, according to Jacob, "thousands of dollars" in recently minted pennies. Overall, not a bad haul! The kids had a blast, all of the pictures from now on will have Libby bedazzled in jewels and Jacob sporting these antique keys janitor-style on his belt loop.
We just finished reading The Indian in the Cupboard so he is now searching for a cupboard to put his plastic figures into.
We'll talk at y'all agin later!
