Saturday

Good morning…the darn dog started barking at 5:36a.m.  When she finally stopped at 6:00a.m. I got up to feed, water and let her out.  The Mister is still sleeping, as are both boys.  They all need a few extra zzz’s.  All is quiet downstairs…except for the continual panting of dog breath and the sound of clicking doggy toe nails as Lacey paces around the house on her life long hunt for morsels of food that someone may have dropped.  She let herself out for mini walks yesterday.  I’m so glad that she is smart enough to open the door when she wants a little fresh air.

After picking up the boys from school yesterday the Mr. took the oldest on an errand for the Fundraiser and to grab a bite to eat. I, on the other hand took the youngest out for noodles and yogurt.  He said it was the best lunch ever…not because of the food, but because we were together…just the two of us.  He even told me that I am the best mom.  I will cherish 4-26-13 forever!

When we returned home the oldest was all suited up to go and ride his dirt bike in Grandma’s pasture with the Mr.  The youngest and I had to wait for the plumber.  They were gone for about an hour and came home without the bike.  The oldest wanted me to come to Grandma’s with him and watch him handle his dirt bike.  As we walked up together he explained the mechanics of the clutch and shifting gears.  All very interesting. When we arrived at Grandma’s he jumped on the bike and after a couple of failed attempts to start it…off he went.  Round and round…turning right and then turning left.  Toward the end of his run he decided to ride around the bank of the pond(the pond is empty)and then jump the edge.  He handled himself very well and had a blast riding.  He looks so darn grown up in all of his gear.

I believe he would like to ride again sometime today(probably all day, everyday).  Later today he has a baseball game.  We will all need to load up on sunscreen since game time is 3:00p.m. (he has to be there 45 minutes early to warm up) and that is when the sun is at it’s strongest.

The youngest just came down to snuggle with me on the couch.  His little feet are so nice and warm…like two little mini heaters.

I hear the Mr. moving around upstairs, so I am off to preheat the oven to cook BACON…yummy.

Have a great day and God Bless
