the great escape

The boys are running away tomorrow. It will certainly be quiet around here. Their plan was initially to be implemented today, but they realized they would miss robotic camp in the morning if they were gone. They have carefully packed:   a bucket full of Easter candy, two large bags of chips, a wooden spoon, a sign, a butterfinger bar… They started to take water and sodas out of the fridge, but I mentioned that they might get warm by tomorrow afternoon. They have located a fire engine sleeping bag, a snoopy sleeping bag and several connecting tunnels that will be their shelter.   They are sure to need the blue and white blanket, Teddy, elephant, a folded blanket and an unfolded blanket – both green. They are running away in protest of harsh living conditions. And to eat candy. All the candy we want! At first it was going to be only the two older boys. Camping isn’t for babies! But then I hinted that they might encounter bugs while camping. Rhett can come too! They are going to stay up all night. They are going to do whatever they want. They are going to eat lots of candy. The boys are running away tomorrow. It certainly will be quiet around here…
