Bravado

Last night was the first of a two night stay for Brevin. Yes we kidnapped him from Chez Smokewood.
Things have been going pretty well. Lots of playing in the kitchen and some sword fighting with minor injuries but, I'm sure as soon as they get the whole "blocking" thing down they will hit each other in the face much less often. I digress...
At lunch today I was informed of something. Brevin wanted to stay FIVE nights here, not six or four but, FIVE. He was very clear on this point. He said it loud and proud, with lots of grins and giggles even. He even told his Mommy on a phone conference in the afternoon.
Then evening came.
And bedtime rolled around.
And Brevin's story changed.
He no longer wanted to stay five nights. He only wanted to stay this one more night.
He wanted to call his Mommy and, from what I can tell, it was only to let her know that, indeed, his mind was changed. He was coming home tomorrow. I have a sneaking suspicion that this needed to be cleared up because, 3 minutes after both his Mommy and I agreed (for the 90th time) that he could go home tomorrow, that there was no contract, implied or otherwise....
He fell asleep.

Meanwhile Evelyn is tossing about and has decided that she may need our bed tonight as her room is too hot and Brevin hugs her too much. ( Not gonna happen but I give her points for the Dramatic effort).
They are co-sleeping in a tent in the middle of her room with 3 fans blowing on them. And, true to their very different natures, he's under 2 blankets and she is half naked and sighing over the hellish heat that is torturing her.
