Thanksgiving Plans: new member?

I just got off Skype with Jack. That kid is hilarious.

My two older sisters (Lin and Laura) and I all currently reside in America, so we get the four-day weekend for American Thanksgiving at the end of the month. But because we're Canadian, we don't really have family commitments. So we decided heck, how about the three of us meet in Seattle (where Laura lives) for some L-named sister fun times!

We've been planning this for a few months now but recently my mom suggested that she sends a Canadian family member representative. Of course, this means Jack, our 6 year old brother.

That would be THE MOST fun. We'd spoil him rotten. Laura and I both think we wouldn't be able to stop kissing him for at least an hour, no exaggeration. I love and miss that little guy SO MUCH.

However, Jack is a little less excited at the prospect. When I was just talking to him, he said he really just wanted Rob (our 9 year old brother) to come with him and that he is so sad that Rob can't come. I thought Jack must be scared of travelling alone, so I starting telling him all about how nice the flight attendants are, and how everyone will take care of him and keep him safe.

He said, "yeah but like what, they just take you to your seat and put a movie on and give you food. That's boring. It won't be FUN without Rob." Because it appears that Jack's greatest fear isn't getting lost... it's BEING BORED.

Aw, Jack sounds so cute. I want to kiss him for an hour, but not in a weird pedophile way.

Lisa, don't you know that older sisters are SO BORING to little brothers?
Mine remind me of this fact weekly.

hooray for canadian-celebrated american thanksgiving!

i just now read the surgery updates as well - glad to hear you're doing pretty well, and i so hear you on the annoying bed-ridden bit. aside from the pain / puking when i had surgery, needing help to do ANYTHING was the other most annoying part. i lost like 10 lbs that first week because it was such a pain to carry food back to the sofa while on crutches that i just waited until my bf got home from work and could bring food to me :-)
