That would have been Ok if it were quiet and dark. But no that hateful miserable sun was attacking my eyes and there was no way to get away from it. I gave up! I took a pee that was about half a gallon, splashed cold water on my face, brushed my teeth and grumpily made my way to the kitchen. As I entered the kitchen I was met with 8 happy faces including Neil and Peter's mom. I quickly realized they were all staring at me in my boxers. Neil and Peter's mom laughed as Kori jumped in front me and said . . . "Jake you're embarrassing me go put something on!" My face was bright red and as I left the kitchen I heard Peter's mother say . . . "Wowww what a great way to start the day I should stop by for breakfast more often." When I was dressed and returned to the kitchen the wisecracks continued. Kori made me a pancake shaped like boxers. After a few more comments Liam became defensive and sat in my lap and hugged me. Everyone took the hint and the conversation turned to finishing the playroom and then a sleigh ride. Peter's mom had brought a few things for the playroom. Neil and the boys had all gone upstairs and Peter's mom took me aside and said . . . "Jake I have noticed Liam's reaction on several occasions if someone is kidding you. He almost immediately becomes protective and steps between you and the other person." I replied . . . "I know I think it's because of his past not being loved and just passed from one place to another. Kori does the same thing if someone picks on Liam." Peter's mom said she sees the love between the boys and has thought so many times that they have the best home they could ever have. I smiled and just said . . . "Thanks we are a family now and they feel safe." We joined the gang upstairs as Liam was explaining how the train layout and village would be when it was all finished. The chairs and lamps along with the pictures now on the walls made the room feel cozy and complete. We spent the afternoon going for sleigh rides and a complete cleaning of the barn and stalls. Finley has grown so much and I think Kori can ride him now without any problems. Eric, Dusty and Finley all have very thick winter coats and are all in great shape with both riding and pulling the sleigh. The rest of the week was just Kori, Liam and me as we continued to have fun with the playroom and Liam's new trains. Kori and I sat in the kitchen one day at lunch and talked about music lessons and what instrument he may like. I was surprised that Kori had been listening to different instruments but wanted something that would go with Violin and Cello. Ahhhhh Kori was thinking of a trio with Riku and Garret. Kori had decided on a Clarinet so now it was time to start thinking of an instrument and teacher. Finding a good clarinet would be the easier part now finding a teacher that would fit Kori's personality may be a little more difficult. First we asked Riku's teacher if he knew of a good clarinet teacher. We now had the names of four woodwind teachers and we were off for interviews. More difficult than I thought, the first two names were crossed off because they were female and Kori just was not even willing to listen to them. Number three was young maybe 28 and talked about jazz throughout the interview so he was out. Kori has picked up on my musical taste along with what Riku likes. Number four . . . . ahhhhh #4 a grumpy old fart. I called the Tanglewood Music Center and left a message. Within an hour my call was returned and I spoke with a very nice lady who understood my problem and gave me 3 more names in Western Massachusetts. Kori, Liam and I were off again. Number 1, Jeffery Allen fortyish married 4 boys 8-13 and they all played. The boys all loved classical music (helps when dad plays with the Boston Symphony) but from what I could see were hellions. No they were definitely hellions. Kori sat mesmerized as Jeffery played. Kori watched every move of his fingers his face said it all, he was hooked. Mr. Allen handed Kori a clarinet and in minutes had Kori playing notes. Liam was with the other boys till Kori was actually playing then all the boys sat and encouraged Kori to play. Teacher found! No doubt Jeffery Allen loved music and kids. We left Mr. Allen's house with a new/used clarinet and a practice book and schedule for lessons. Kori was as happy with his clarinet as Liam with his trains ........ but ........ I was in for another surprise. Liam sat and watched Kori practice. Kori had a strong and clear sound when he played not that shrill squeaky sound that beginners make. After dinner we were watching a movie that Liam picked, yes you guessed it, National Geographic. I was in my usual position and Kori was all cuddled up to me with Liam stretched out head on Kori's lap. The program was excellent about alligators in Everglades National Park. Kori went to make popcorn and Liam snuggled up and then the surprise. Liam reached up and his hand tenderly touched my face and then hugged me as he said . . . "You know those boys today they really play good. I was thinking maybe I could take lessons and play with Kori. I think I would like flute, what do you think Jake? Clarinet and flute sound good together Jake." Liam was holding my hand it took me only a minute to bend down and give a little kiss on his head and say . . . "Liam I think you're right." There was no dance, no hopping about the living room, Liam just hugged me and told me he loved me and I was the best dad in the whole world. Kori had seen everything and put the popcorn down and gave Liam and me a big hug and then asked what I would play. We ate popcorn and had ice cold OJ and sprite and finished the movie. (notice I didn't answer the question) I think that taking lessons and knowing what the responsibility is that goes with the lesson will be good for Kori and Liam. I know one thing for sure I will not let them back out of their commitment. I love Kori and Liam and will always put their needs above mine. These two boys will grow to be loving and caring adults. Liam and I watched another movie and Kori went to practice. Let's talk about that clarinet thing again. He's been practicing 90 minutes; did you hear what I said? 90 minutes, I thought clarinet was a rather soft instrument. Now the house has a number of small spaces and I now know what one of them will be converted to; a soundproof practice room. I'm not complaining! Liam was looking at me with one of his smiles and asked . . . "Jake I still get to take Flute lessons right?" . . . I hugged Liam and said . . . "Of course rug rat just practice in the barn." Liam gave me a hug and said . . . "maybe it's time for a bath?" Ahhhhh he's a smart boy. Off I went to tell Kori how good he sounds and that maybe we should have a bath, a real nice fun bath. Kori was all smiles and said he would clean the clarinet and be right up for a bath. ............ Now Kori interpreted "a real nice fun bath" to mean one thing, naughty little boy, and I was talking about just a "fun" bath with Liam and no more. Liam and I started the bath and turned on the tub heater added lots of bubble bath and music. Sorry I didn't hear who asked what kind of music, was that Ron, Mark or David that asked? (all devoted readers) Well anyway it was Liam's favorite the music from Howl's Moving Castle, by Joe Hisaishi and the orchestra was huge about 225 total musicians. Liam and I were already in the tub when Kori, stud muffin, arrived with a big smile. Before Kori got in the tub he stepped closer to me and Liam. He was so proud and had to show us he had a few more hairs, thin, blond short but they were there just above his p___s. Then he asked Liam and me to check under his arms to see if there were any there. Sorry Kori not yet. Kori looked so sweet tonight, innocent and handsome. It was the smile, the dirty blond hair, the bright white teeth and the twinkle in his eye. This kid gets more gorgeous every day and he will have girls chasing him all through high school. As Kori sat in the warm water Liam had to ask a question. He asked not in a whisper but very softly . . . "Jake how come Kori always has a stiffy when he gets in the tub?" Kori turned red and giggled and I just outright laughed. Liam had asked a great question so I said . . . "Good question Liam let's ask Kori." (I told you this was going to be a fun bath) Kori was now almost purple but giggling. He tried to explain and was looking to me for help but I thought it was best to just let him continue. The thing is this is the second time Liam has paid attention to someone's "thing". The other morning it was Liam who thought Riku's "thing" was cute. In all honesty I was having the best night of the week and it was with my two boys. Finally Kori just said . . . "Liam it's my age you'll get there too and your little "thing" . . . . then Kori stopped and looked at me and said . . . "Jake it's a penis, a dick, a prick not a "thing" it's mine and I like it!" I guess Kori has set things straight <() Liam was laughing and I had a big smile and Kori looked frustrated, but with a smile. I had Liam so lathered up and bubbles right to his chin and all you could see was his eyes. Liam slid to the other end of the tub and started washing Kori and the two boys just had fun washing each other. I slid down till my head was at water/bubble level and was enjoying the music and the boys. I realized it has been some time since the three of us have had this much fun together. The boys took turns letting me hug them and if I was hugging Kori then Liam was washing or teasing Kori and if I was hugging Liam then it was Kori teasing Liam. It was all fun till they ganged up on me and Liam announced . . . "Jake you gotta stiffy too." I should drown the rug rat; with kisses. We finished our bath and were all smiles. We dried and I think Kori was happy with just the fun we had in the bath. I had turned to temperature to 65 so we would pull the covers up and snuggle. I just wanted to hold them tight. Kori had other ideas. The cool of the room the quiet of the night brought us to the peak of slumber. Darkness once again surrounded us and the gentle moon lit night brought with it a certain peaceful feeling. I felt Liam when his body relaxed and sleep took him to far off magical places. I felt a feeling that I had felt many times before; it was the hormone driven hand of a 12 year old boy about to get slapped. I heard him whisper . . . "Jake, Liam is asleep let's go take a shower." No! "Jake I wanna show you I can do it." No! "Please?" No! "Jake, Jake come on I haven't done it all day." Now that made me laugh, Kori was super horny. I turned to Kori and said . . . "Kori can't we just snuggle up and sleep all nice and warm?" All of a sudden Liam sat up in bed and said . . . "Yeah Kori do it tomorrow I need some sleep." That did it. We went to sleep. It was morning and I had slept well. Kori was in the shower and Liam had his leg across me and smiling and said . . . "I think he's doing it." I giggled and bet Liam was right. It's apparent that Liam knows much more than we think. Kori walked out from the bathroom and was soft then trotted off to his bedroom. Liam and I showered and could smell pancakes in the kitchen. Breakfast was great and today would be a regular morning with chores and stuff then I would call Jeffery and see if we could visit with Liam. It was just eleven and we were headed to see Jeffery and see if Liam would really like the flute. We arrived and it was much the same as yesterday Liam had no trouble. Jeffery was very kind and explained all that goes with taking the lesson and kept using the word practice. It was off toward home and I called to Neil. Neil answered and I explained that now both boys would be taking lessons and I really needed a soundproof practice room. About 30 minutes and Neil was at the house. Neil had a great idea that the best place would be in the basement and we could have a good 8 x 10 practice room. I wanted to know when and it looks like a week and it would be finished. The boys tortured Neil for a good 30 minutes with the same notes over and over. I am not complaining, I'm not but I will say Neil now understands why I need a practice room. The afternoon was bright and sunny and a great time for a sleigh ride. Horses hitched and we were off on our loop. Liam asked if tomorrow we could ride and I thought that was a good idea. Neil stayed and the phone rang and it was Peter asking if he could come over and spend the night. I immediately said yes. Then Liam wanted to know it Abby could spend the day tomorrow. Whoa, where did that come from? Well yes was the answer and now Liam was excited to show Abby the flute and trains. It was so good to hear Liam ask to have a friend over. Now I am not sure how to entertain a girl for the day with Liam. OMG what with Peter here and Kori and who knows what they may say. I was almost in a panic and Neil was no help at all. Well I already said yes. I need to talk to Peter and Kori. . . . "Hey boys I need a powwow . . . Abby is spending the day tomorrow and I think you need to watch how you act and what you say. Got it?" The boys looked at me like I was crazy and then Peter said . . . "So no bad language, no sex jokes, (I cringed at the thought) no touching the front of Kori's shorts or pinching you when you're at the sink." I looked at Peter and said . . . "Nope not if you want to live." We all smiled and they knew I expecting good behavior. It was hamburgers, baked beans, fries, and milk for dinner. Now what would Peter say to that .... "Beans, Beans the musical fruit the more you eat the more you toot." Kori, Liam and Neil cracked up laughing and I thought if he said it tomorrow I'd kill em. Movie was over and the kitchen was cleaned by the gruesome twosome and then they were off to the boy's bathroom and bedroom. Neil went home and Liam and I were in the master bath. I didn't think I would see Kori tonight. Liam and I finished our shower and were in bed. There was not a sound to be heard the darkness overcame Liam and I and we were sound asleep. I was dreaming of tomorrow and how to let Liam and Abby have fun. I don't know why I was worrying about it I knew Liam wanted to show Abby the trains. I was so comfortable all cuddled up to Liam and the dreams were more like movies. It was sometime in the early morning and I guess Kori and Peter snuck in bed with Liam and I. I was hugged up to Kori, I thought, and he felt so good. I pulled him close and kissed him and said . . . "I love you." Then I heard, "Do it again I love you too." Akkk! It was Peter and he was laughing. . . . . . . ."If you do it again Peter you're gonna get slapped!"
