Today

• rain
• school: world civilizations, Olympics (our own version too-paper plate discus throw + marshmallow nose races + more), math review, vocabulary, spelling + more
• dry cleaning drop off
• bill paying
• school planning
• fall soccer signup
• discussion with Ian about Mighty Mites football (pros + cons, etc.) He's suddenly got an urge to play-not sure if that was spurned by the cousins playing ball? Think that may have a lot to do with it. (Mick and I feel like we're encountering uncharted territory here. We want our boys to try and experience new things in life but also realize that our 10 year old isn't exactly the poster boy for the linebacker position nor does he have the personality for it either). We were hoping that there was a flag football league he could participate in, but apparently that no longer exists here locally. Too bad.
• Rice Krispie treats, popcorn and the partial viewing of Batman + Robin
• story time with Ethan (he's reading Magic Tree House series while Ian reads The Hobbit)
• phone calls with Mick who's away on business
• updating i calendar and calling girls to let them know practice was cancelled due to rain
• tried a new calzone-like recipe which the boys actually ate
• laundry
• filing, filing and more filing
• refrigerator repairman here to fix both fridges, upstairs icemaker, downstairs fridge quit cooling (ice cream soft serve only-LOL + my Diet Pepsi's, nearly room temp-sooo not acceptable) all is well and in working order now minus the $389. + service and repair charge. Gotta love the Murphy's in life. Appreciate that I have ice. That I have a cold Diet Pepsi. That I have so many little and big blessings in my life and so many things to be grateful for.
