Good morning, the sky is dark and the sun is just beginning to create a glow on the horizon. Â The youngest was the first person awake this morning and the oldest just made his way down the stairs.
The mister arrived home around 11p.m. and was wide awake when he climbed into bed. His meetings went well and except for the downpour of rain he had a nice time in Seattle.
The boys stayed after school for their creative writing class and I ran to the art gallery and the dermatologist office to look at the chairs and the paint before I picked up the kiddos. Â Both boys got their homework done…. the oldest just sat right down and got his homework finished and the youngest…well that is a different story. Â Finally after a couple of hours and a few consequences the youngest finished up with his work. Both kiddos played with friends while I cleaned bathrooms.
Today the Mr. is going to Boulder for a meeting and he has to be down south at the distributer between 8 and 8:30 to pick up samples for his meeting. Â Our friend Peter called…he is the man that runs/own the organic farm that we get all of our lettuces and veggies from during the summer. Â Peter is doing a green house here in Denver and the Mr. is going to see him sometime today….Hopefully, the Mr. will be coming home with arugula, lettuces and tomatoes this afternoon. Â Yum!
I took the dogs for a short walk yesterday…just around the big loop  maybe a mile.  Boy were they excited.  I’ll make walking our four legged family members a priority.  The lab takes herself on her own mini walks whenever she gets a chance..not such a subtle hint.  Lacey followed me down into the basement last night and I was coming up ahead of her when I noticed she was having difficulty getting back up the stairs(there is no carpet for her to grip) I turned and was making my way down to her when she tried one more stair.  That was it…she slipped right in front of me and I couldn’t catch her. She rolled, flipped three times before landing on the concrete floor below.  It was awful to see it happen and not be able to get to her in time.  I got to the bottom of the stairs just seconds after her.  I gave her comfort and checked her out before helping her up each stair.  She is a bit stiff this morning, but no broken bones.  Lucky Lacey is my new name for her…lucky me too.
