So happy to have my Sprat home, if only for a few days. Thanks to a minor snafu by Mom Sprat also enjoyed his first plane ride via a first class flight home from Boston, while the hubbs flew coach. It felt good seeing the boys talking and picking with each other. I guess absence does make the heart grow fonder. There was minimal arguing and fighting these last few days. We had a whirl wind Thanksgiving visiting everyone but it was so good to see family and friends. It seems as though we blinked and now we are getting ready to send this big guy back to school. Good news though, he will be home for a longer Christmas break.
We got to hear all about how cold it is in Boston already and how it is dark by four o'clock. I do not think he is ready for the real winter he is going to experience, he has only had a taste of cold. He does have lots of winter clothes and a big coat and boots to wear but he is going to experience Winter like he has never had before.
He has gathered with his friends to visit and catch up on what everyone has been doing and he had a list of places he wanted to eat that they do not have in Boston. First meeting with all his buddies was Bojangles and then he wanted to eat at Salsaritas with all of us. The boys went to Thanksgiving Eve Love Feast, that was also a must on Sprat's list of things he had to do while he was home. He took a picture of his Thanksgiving plate to show his teammates what a southern Thanksgiving looks like. He is the only true Southerner at this school so they all love to hear him talk especially the young ladies. The hubbs had to stop on the way home from the airport to pick up Cook Out with some sweet tea. He has asked on numerous occasions to send him some sweet tea via the mail. I told him we could not do that. It is funny the things that we get use to and that we miss when we do not have it. He seems to be having fun and doing lots of cool stuff, Mom just hopes he is studying in between all of the fun. Mama feeling blessed and very thankful for this visit with my boy.
Below is one picture I was able to snap over this break, I hope I will get a couple more during Christmas.

How early it gets dark there is one of the worst things about Boston in the winter. But, it's usually getting nice at light around 5:00 am to make up for it which is good if you are a morning person. I'm guessing since he's a college student though, an early sunrise isn't the best thing! :) Glad you enjoyed your weekend with your whole family together!
Beth, he has become quite the night owl since going to school. He is most definitely not a morning person. I did not realize that it got dark that early there. It was funny to hear him talk about it. He kept us laughing about all the restaurants that he had missed that they do not have in Boston.
Thank you Beth
