Kidless for the night

I finally finished cleaning one side of the basement yesterday after another couple of hours downstairs. Meanwhile the misses was trying to rest her neck and feel better. The boys played hard all the way up until swimming lessons when I loaded them and the youngest neighbor boy into the car to go. Mom was down the street getting another massage trying to get some relief. Most of her day she was working on the youngest ones dragon head for D.I.

When we arrived at the School of Mines, we were surprised to see we were the only ones there! It seems swimming was cancelled due to the holiday weekend. Obviously we didn’t get the memo, or check the website! I did convince the girl lifeguard to let them get in the  water for 20 minutes or so. The oldest guy is swimming really well and got in some laps while the two younger kids splashed around a bunch.

Our boys and the two neighbor boys had devised a plan to all sleep over at their house so after checking with their parents, we said ok. Now you’d think what fun for us to have a night to ourselves but all we did was go to sleep. It’s almost 6am and Comcast comes between 7 and 8 as we’ve had no home phones since Saturday morning. Lacey the lab tore open a big black trash bag and strew stuff all over the house during the night. I’ve already vacuumed but don’t tell me dogs have no memory as she isn’t coming down the stairs as she knows what she did.

I guess it’s our fault for leaving it out. I’ve got a bunch of phone calls this morning and then the misses and I have self defense class at noon while the little guy is at D.I. Then at 5pm , both boys have class. The misses is determined to go but I think she should take it easy until her neck gets better but her logic is, “it’s going to hurt whether I go or not”!

Alright, Mom’s up working on the dragon head and time to hit the shower. Turns out Lacey was also eating the paper mache off the dragon head as it’s made from flour and water, super. Have a great day, take care and God Bless.
