Good morning! Our youngest is involved in a project called D.I. (Destination Imagination) It is quite a project. Â His team is composed of 6 1st graders and they have to come up with their own play with only a name to get them started….”Big Bug”. The kids are doing quite well with only a parent coach. No ideas can come from the coach, she can only keep the conversation on topic. The team has come up with what Big Bug looks like, where Big Bug lives, his friends and now they are working on lines and costumes. By the way, they also have to make the costumes and the set themselves. The hardest part for the coach and the parents is to remain “Hands free”.
The eldest is vying for a position on the 3rd grade Junior Achievement team. This team reads various books and then has a discussion on each chapter. Â I am hoping he makes the team especially since there are only 4 positions open.
Last night we missed basketball in order to get our munchkins some well needed rest.  They have had too many late nights, so my handsome husband and I made an executive decision to get them to bed by 7;30… Success! They went right to sleep with not one iota of complaint. That is a rarity around this house…the boys were really,really tired.
I didn’t get our furry friends walked yesterday, so my plan today is to throw the ball until they almost drop. Â With our labrador that could take a very long time.
Handsome husband here, (from which I shall be called from this point forward!), Queenie just handed me the computer and told me “you have to finish” then headed to the kitchen to make breakfast for all of us. I had to run to the store at 5:30 am for eggs and milk. Our house goes through about a dozen eggs and a gallon of milk daily. It’s grandma’s birthday this coming Monday and I’m seriously thinking of getting her a milk cow and some chickens. It sure would save us some cash! Lot’s of work today and our Queen will be at Whole Foods working all day. I’m in San Francisco tomorrow (6am flight, uggh), but back by 4:30 in the afternoon. Luckily my wife is off tomorrow but does work Saturday and Sunday so it’ll just be me and the boys. The youngest wants to go roller skating while the oldest is still thinking of his choice. In any case, it’ll be a weekend full of physical activity. I’ve always said, kids keep you young and make you old at the same time. Whatever we do, we’ll have fun.
Time to go as I’m getting sucked into Phineas and Ferb. My youngest told me to “put them in the blog”. For those of you that don’t know, it’s the most popular kids show right now and it’s actually tolerable to adults. In fact, I like it. It’s also a show that has no inappropriate language or situations which is rare these days on the idiot box. It’s on the Disney channel, check it out, you might like it.
Oh well, it’s almost 7am so time to get moving. Remember life is short so don’t let the little things bother you as they’ll soon pass.
God Bless
