Tonight the Green Bay Packers, or as the little guy calls them, the Green Bean Packers, play the New Orleans Saints in the first game of the 2011 NFL football season. Now this really marks the beginning of fall. I know my Mom, and Uncle T will be watching for sure. Many of you might not know this but my Mom might just be the biggest football fan in the family, which is quite a statement. Hopefully it’ll be a great game with the Green Bean, err Bay, Packers coming out on top.
Yesterday we had to take the truck in due to the check engine light. Turns out there was a recall we were never notified of and they needed to order some parts so our truck is still in the shop. Luckily this will be covered by our warranty but our other car needs brakes and transmission service tomorrow to the tune of about $800! It never seems to stop.
We went to Back to School night last night and both boys are doing great and have the best teachers in their respective grades. We really didn’t hear much new from the previous 4 years we sat though this, but as a parent you have to go. Uncle T and Aunt B once again came to the rescue and watched the boys for an hour while we ran to school. We picked them up around 6pm and then the boys hit the streets on their bikes for a few hours before bed. When they came in it was time for some reading, the oldest hits the couch on his own and is now reading chapters and the little guy has really progressed too. It’s amazing to see them grow almost daily.
Mom ran some errands for most of the morning while I was on the phone. Today she works from 7 until 3pm so I’ll need to get the boys to school. I have a bunch of work to do, mostly on the phone, again. Not much else going on, it’s now 5:30 and I think I’ll try to get in some exercise before the kids wake up. Hope everyone is doing well, take care and God Bless.
p.s. thanks Grandma Annette for your advice on motorcycles. Apparently her sister’s kids had bikes from the time they were 4 years old and are still riding today. Not sure if she was endorsing the idea or giving us a big warning! We’ll have to call her.
Have a great day!
