Yesterday after the youngest ones soccer game I managed to get the garage and the house cleaned while the misses changed all the sheets, washed the floors and cleaned the bathrooms. No wonder her back is sore!
We had fresh scallops and linguine with clams last night for dinner which was great! We try to only eat live food” meaning stuff without a bar code or fresh chicken, fish and grass fed beef. I know some of you are rolling your eyes but to each his own.
The youngest played great as his team won again! He’s improved with each game he’s played. Tonight at 4:30 is his end of season party at his coaches house. It’s Italian themed and the misses made sausage, peppers and meatballs, yum. Each kid will get some kind of trophy or something. Daylight savings time kicked in last night meaning we set our clocks back an hour. This means the sun now comes up around 6am and will set about 4:30 or so.
It’s cool today with a high of 43 degrees. More snow is supposed to arrive tomorrow night and then the nice weather returns with highs almost in the 60’s by the weekend.
As promised, here’s a poem by the oldest one,
LIFE
Life is wonderful
Life is everything
Life is us
Life is everywhere
Life is me
Life is you
Life is plants
Life is trees
Life is in the water
Life is in the woods
Life is in the jungle
Life is everywhere
Life is life
How’s that for a poem from a 9 year old! Maybe I’m biased but I think it’s pretty remarkable.
The morning is a little bit contentious around here as the oldest guy came down late and lit in the younger one over a jointly owned toy he was playing with. Drama drama drama, something different everyday. It’s one thing for kids to be kids but we won’t tolerate either of them coming down and throwing a tantrum over a toy that disrupts the peaceful morning. Part of the issue is we’ve recently began severely limiting tv. It’s just no good for kids or really for anyone. Outside of sports, the occasional movie and holiday shows, we’re trying to get off the boob tube.
Well I guess I’ll run now, I need to get some exercise this morning and both boys need some new jeans. This means a run to the ranch supply store as they’re the only ones with wranglers long enough that have skinny waists. Hope everyone’s doing well an has a great day. Take care and give us a call to say hi!
