To Vail We Go

Good morning.  I woke up at 4:23…it must have some thing to do with sleeping in the Mr.’s side of the bed.  I tried to go back to sleep to no avail. Lacey wanted out at 5:00 so, we came downstairs.  The oldest has Track and Field practice this morning…he made the team even with a broken arm.  I had given permission for him to to hurdles and he told his teacher that I said tug of war was okay as well.  He, the oldest told me he had said that after a fun day of tug of war.  The Track Meet is at Jeffco Field next week which is a very big deal for these Elementary school kids.  The Field is where the major competitions are held.  I am really excited for him, as is he.

After the boys finished all of their homework yesterday, I amended the no T.V. rule because they only have a half day of school and I had a headache.  We watched Marvel’s Avengers.  The movie was really well done and we all enjoyed it.  It was straight to bed after the movie and both kiddos were fast asleep by 8:15.

I’m picking the munchkins up at school at 12:15 (early release=budget cuts) and driving up to Vail.  The oldest has to have a cast change and more x-rays to guarantee that his elbow is healing properly.  He hasn’t chosen the color of his new cast yet.  I’m sure it will be a bright and fun color.  I am a little nervous to drive over the pass by myself….the Mr. is always the driver and I am always the passenger.  I’ll be very careful. We should be home around 5 or 6 depending on how long everything takes.

Gram Annette commented yesterday, but I don’t know how to copy it to the post.  She has some doggie arthritis medicine that she is offering to send us if the Vet okays them. Thank you, Gram Annette and Betty Mae.  I know Betty Mae will be missed and she will be in our thoughts often.

We are off to Intramural practice.  Have a wonderful day.

God Bless
