so we returned from our first family reunion late saturday night. when we woke up this morning -- monday -- i asked the kids to please unpack their bags and begin to REpack for our next family reunion trip coming up in a few days. i had given chas and cole new, bigger bags to pack in this time as the trip will last three times as long as the last one. initially, i told the boys just to put a few things in the bags -- underwear, swimsuits, etc. but of course they went packing wild. the next thing i knew they were trying to bring them fully loaded down the stairs. i clearly intercepted this attempt as i hadn't yet had an opportunity to inspect said bags for appropriate contents. so here's how the conversation went down:
mom: wait a minute. take these back upstairs cause i haven't had a chance to inspect what's in them.
chas: ok! i'll tell you everything that it's mine. (this is said with incredible vigor and loads of 8 going on 18 attitude by the way.)
mom: well, i still want to check. cole, you too. put it back.
cole: yeah, cause i don't even know what i put in this bag.
mom busts out laughing.
chas: yeah, he just opened a drawer and threw everything in it.
mom: and that's (laughing) why (laughing) i have to (laughing) inspect the contents friends! (wetting pants)
oh man! where does this kid get this stuff? and the way in which he says things is just hysterical. always with a straight face that comes across like dry british humor. so funny!

That was so funny I almost peed my pants reading it!! He is so much like Taylor it is crazy- we totally had the same conversation when I aksed my kids to pack for Lake Tahoe a few weeks ago. Love those pictures of him- what a good looking kid.
