Quiet Night

Good morning.  The boys are downstairs, dressed and fed.  I am breaking the rules and letting them watch a show while I write this post.  Looking East out the window the sunrise is like gazing upon Claude Monet’s “Sunrise”.  Although, he painted Europe and this is Colorado the sky seems much the same.

The Mr. made it to Italy and is now perusing the city with Antonio looking for a twin to my favorite button up shirt. I sincerely hope he is successful.  When I spoke with him this morning he told me the first two segments of his trip weren’t bad and he actually slept for 4 hours or so.  The last segment…Germany to Italy was quite uncomfortable because the planes are not made for people taller than 5’11. I’m sure the Mr.’s knees were pressed against the seat in front of him for most of the flight.

The boys both had a great day at school and came home with little and no homework.  We took it easy…ordered a pizza(bad mommy)enjoyed a quiet afternoon and climbed into my bed at 7:00p.m. to watch a couple of sitcoms.  The oldest left for his bed…he says he gets better sleep in his own bed and the youngest stayed with me.

The dogs slept in this morning….the must understand that I would be quite upset with them if they were to wake me before 6:00.  Lacey did not try to open the pantry…I think when the Mr. caught her the other night he may have put a stop to her late night snacking.  Let’s hope so!

The big hairy pony(Mojo)climbed up on the oldest’s bed to help me roust him from his dreams…I now get to wash the bedding, as he leaves behind fur balls and dirt crumbs.  No big deal….there is no better way to wake up a boy than letting his pouch snuggle and paw at him.

We are off to school…God Bless
