Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for December 04, 2012

I hope they get to go without kids…this wouldbe like a honeymoon for them. They deserveit. :-)

Evie, she learned from you. You already know the answer to your first question.

Oh, just help them out! The kids are in school and sleeping most of the time anyway.To several yesterday… Wally is NOT in the family that discussed limiting presents, so calm down. That was Val, Holly and Alix. Wally is married to Joan and have Max and Lucy. Besides, if Wally wants to spend his hard-earned money on a trip for he and Joan and less presents on his two kids, that’s his decision! He earned it, he decides how to spend it!

As a single working mother with her own 2 kids there’s no reason for Val to sign-on, especially since Evie is trying to con her into it. Hope she doesn’t cave on this.

Just say no. You’ll be suttubg with your own grandkids someday, so your mom can sit with hers.

Good hand off!

So, Wally drops a hint to Evie. Evie now tries to pass the buck to Val. Any bets on whether it ends up being Holly and Alix doing the babysitting?

Nope- LOL…esp since I’ve never gotten to go since I wouldn’t leave my kids that long. :)

Holly might enjoy babysitting Andy. LOL

ya know, thats one pretty smart granny….

I love the first frame, big message there :o)

Val can’t babysit, not with a full time job! The older kids should split up taking care of Max.
