Vacation? For Who, Not Me!!

So my husband is on vacation for two weeks. Thankfully he decided, ha decided, to go to his grandparents house for a couple of days.
He had some help in this decision. A little persuasion you might say.
My husband is a spoiled grandchild.
Grandpa has been trying to buy my husband a new truck for years. And for years my husband has been telling him no. Gotta hand it to him on wanting to make his own money and not caring what the rest of the family thinks. But it comes to the point that it would make his grandfather so happy to give him this truck. Grandpa has it in his head that the Awesome Green Truck is a hazard.
Well he found a way to get around Austin telling him no.
He called last week and said 'I've decided to make you my hired hand and you need a truck to drive so I can claim it as a tax write off.' Austin couldn't say no to that.
I think Austin had that AHAA moment. Finally. It took him long enough. Honestly...
So Tuesday early I had to get up and take Austin and Mason to Sioux City to pick up the pick up. From there they went on down to visit the grandparents.
I told Austin not to come home before Friday and if at all possible to stay a couple of days longer.
Funny note my husband packed himself and Mason and only took 2 diapers for Mason. He forgot the diapers in my trunk. Now he can't tease me about forgetting anything ever again. I think he learned that it is harder to pack for two. I've been giggling about it since I noticed the diapers in the trunk. I didn't even call to warn him. What fun would that have been?
