On Tuesday Jack came home from his bar review class, changed into a suit and told me he was going to the bank. When he got home from the bank he told me he was going to buy us a new car this weekend and not to make any plans.
Wednesday (yesterday) Jack told me that my cousins had offered him a ride to Dallas Thursday (today) if he found a car there he wanted to buy. Wednesday night he asked me to wash some clothes "just in case" he ended up heading for the big D the next day.
This morning Jack packed a bag and left. We had a friend over all morning to play with Play Doh, make lemonade popsicles, race cars, and watch Curious George and Pocoyo with us. We had another friend over all afternoon to eat lunch, play blocks, draw with sidewalk chalk, take naps, bake bread, and watch Thomas the Train with us. Then we went with Chelsea, Bentley, and Chelsea's mom to Jump N Jungle for about two hours to jump off all our evening energy.
Back at home I found a message from Jack on the answering machine and three missed calls to my cell phone. I called and talked to Jack long enough for him to tell me that he bought us a new car and that he'd be home Sunday.
We've become a minivan family.
Just like that.
