It’s 4:30am and the misses and I are both up as Lacey the lab opened the sliding pantry door and helped herself to a box of crackers. The misses jumped up and caught her and then vacuumed up the mess and put on some coffee while I got up. This morning I’m off the Basalt and Glenwood Springs which is about 3 hours away. I’ll leave around 6 and hopefully be home between 2 and 3 this afternoon. I had to make this run today to see some accounts as it’s going to snow tomorrow in the mountains.
The good looking one said Grandma Dixie called yesterday but she missed the call and will ring her up today. We’re glad you learned how to comment. Keep them coming, but let’s talk about something other than politics.
Last night the Nuggets (Denver’s basketball team) won their 13 game in a row. I know most of you don’t care (except Uncle T and me) but that’s the longest streak in team history plus we beat the number one team in our conference, the hated Oklahoma Thunder. Oh oh, hope this doesn’t get Grandma Dixie all riled up!
Here’s the misses as she can’t go back to sleep so she’s in the couch with me now.
Last night at dinner we were all taking turns talking about our day,and when we got to the youngest he started listing all the children he played with at recess. Â Scott, Jack, Trenton, Nic and J.J. Now I know all but one of these kids, so I asked about J.J. The youngest told me that J.J. is a nice boy, but he doesn’t understand English very well and he’s a little bit sensitive when they play some of their games where they run from each other….sometimes he cries. I asked if J.J. cries because he doesn’t understand English and the youngest said, “Maybe, but I think it’s because he doesn’t understand our culture”. Â A wise young man we are raising.
Both boys ate a bit of broccoli  last night with no complaints.  The oldest only likes the stem and the youngest only likes the tops…that works out well for both of them. I know this seems trivial, but getting the boys to eat green veggies has been a problem since they were about 3 years old.
The oldest had a great time on the field trip to the Nature and Science Museum, as did I. Â There were enough Chaperones to put the kiddos into groups of three. Â Two of the girls that I’ve known since they all started Kindergarten…Kailyn and Julia came running up to me to let me know how sorry they were for the group I had. Â Our guy, Enzo and Kody…three of the most energetic boys at school. I laughed, but seriously I’m wondering if their teacher wasn’t giving me a challenge??? Â The other groups had a mix of estrogen and testosterone, all but mine. This is the year that the kids learn about “Growing and Changing” Sex education to the rest of us, and that is why we were at the Museum…mainly to explore the human body exhibit. We spent most of our time in that exhibit where the kids got to swab their cheeks, bake the cells and look at them under a microscope among other things. Very exciting! Anyway, I had mentioned the concern displayed by the boys’ classmates and let them know I expected the best behavior ever out of them, and for the most part the were quite well behaved. I’m so lucky that I was able to be a parent volunteer.
I’m off to make my man some breakfast and a snack to take on the road.
Love to all and God Bless.
