I could not ask for more

Music to a mama's ears on her 31st birthday ...

Marty: "When I grow up, I want to be a tractor man."

Me:  "Like, a farmer?"

Marty: "Yup, and drive around the boys.  For a ride."

Me: "Like at the pumpkin patch?"

Marty: "Yes!  Let's go to the pumpkin patch!"

Max: "Me too. I want to be a farmer too."

Me: "You could be farming brothers."

Max: "Ya.  Mart - you could ask a lady to marry you, and I'll ask  a lady to marry me and then we'll all move to the farm together." 

 



Then Paul came home and I overheard Max telling him:

"Dad!  I figured out a way for me and Marty to marry each other!"

Knowing that's not quite what he meant to say, I told him to try explaining it a different way. 

"We'll get some ladies to marry us, and then we'll ask them to move to the farm with us."

 



Maybe Paul's dream of living on a commune will really come true one day.  (Although I"m not sure how my boys' ladies would feel with old Ma and Pa living with them on the farm!)

    My soon-to-be 11 yr old used to want to be a 'tractor-man' too! Funny that he used the exact same term!
    Also, I don't know if you've been to my blog lately, but I'm expecting again!!

    Oma will come and live with them on the farm. I will gather the eggs and rock their babies in a rocking chair. You can come and visit.

    Sounds like they have a good plan in place. And who wouldn't want the grandparents around right close by? Sounds very convenient and helpful to me! Gotta find the right girls, I guess. :)

    As someone names their first born Jim Bob, it'll all work out. I mean, the Walton's did it!
