On Sunday when we came home from church our neighbor Mal was outside yelling at his buddies. He was drunk and probably high too. After things cooled down our family came back out. Mal's girlfirend lives at the house and she has a son, Elijah. He is 5. I found out from Elijah's mom that he watched tv all day Sunday while she worked and Mal had a BBQ.
Dave and I decided to ask if Elijah could join us for a labor day picnic. She was happy that he would have something to do because she worked all day Monday too. So she dropped him off before work and he spent the day with us. After some quick sandwiches we headed over the bridge to NJ for a labor day picnic with church friends. They roasted a 90lb pig that was so delicious! There were tons of kids and Elijah had a great time.
Elijah is full of personality, he's loud (fits in well with our family) and very sweet and obedient. He had a couple of funny quotes yesterday,
This one was in the context of trying to play some "fun music" in which he was highly disappointed in. He said, "Put on some hot music!"
The next one was when he told us "His two most favorite things in the world are rainbows and ... karate." Dave and I burst out laughing at how extremely opposite those two loves were.
