Today is a gorgeous Colorado morning. Â The air is clean and crisp thanks in part to the sheets of rain that fell yesterday. The Mr. and I looked out the window at one point during the early evening and we could not believe the amount of rain that was falling. I’m surprised that the street didn’t turn into a river.
The boys and I walked to school everyday but one this week. Yesterday was by far the most fun. Each day was extremely enjoyable because we walk and talk about everything…real life and imaginary “What ifs”. The walk generally takes 20 to 25 minutes and those are my favorite minutes of the morning. The boys made up a fun new game on the way. We all held hands and one of them would kick a pine cone. If the pine cone was rolling ahead and to the right we would say, “It’s yours” to the youngest(he was on the right..I was in the middle and the oldest obviously was on the left)keeping our hands in tact we would all run together and the youngest would kick it. We would call out the name of the person to kick it and off we would go…holding hands, jogging, kicking, and laughing.  The game went on for a good five blocks.  We then picked up the pine cone to save for another day.
The boys both felt that they did well on their assessment tests when we picked them up. The youngest has a first week of school bug…stuffy nose and a sore throat…bummer.
Lacey is doing much better. She is on steroids for a week and an anti-inflammatory. I think the pressure from her full tummy pinched a nerve that made her hind leg go out and once she was in that position on the floor(hind legs spread eagle) she couldn’t get herself up. She hasn’t had any problems since. I took her for a two block walk and I think I’ll call grandma to see if I may take her swimming in the pond for physical therapy. Wheww! The boys and I were freaking out a little bit….
Ben, the neighbor boy ate dinner and slept over  with the boys last night. They were asleep at 11p.m. and up at 6a.m…..Uh OHHH! They are playing away.
I need to help the Mr. clean the garage…we are on a mission to de-clutter and get everything ship shape.
Have a great day…love to all and God Bless.
Mister here, Meanwhile I’m out de-cluttering the garage, it’s amazing how much junk two boys can collect. I can count 7 scooters, 4 skateboards, 7 bikes and an army’s worth of Nerf Guns. Throw in on top of this every kind of bat, ball and stick known to man and there you have it. I’m on a mission, to clean out everything, fix up everything and start fresh, and I won’t stop until it’s done!
