Random Family Update

We've hit November running around here and once again I am finding it hard to get my blogging in with any regularity. Here's the latest from my neck of the woods:

* DS 4 just finished his first soccer game of the season. His team won. I am continually amazed at the audacity of parents on the sidelines! I often wish they could hear how their comments sound to the rest of us!

* DS 3 and DH flew out early this morning to go to an air show across the state. They weren't sure they were going to get to go due to weather...but it was beautiful today. They'll be back later on this evening. I guess DS 3 was a sight at the high school football last night...he painted himself up and was seen hanging out with tons of kids throughout the night. I'd have never dreamed he'd be "Mr. Spirit"...but I'm glad he's having fun.

* DS 2 and DS 1 are really into the whole "Ultimate Frisbee" thing. They've been playing quite a bit lately.

* DS 1 is preparing to leave on the 19th for basic training. He packed stuff up in his room this week. It is hard for this Mother to look at all those packed boxes!!

* Our nephew is staying with us today and tomorrow. His Mom and Dad are in TN this week and he's staying at Grandma and Grandpa's house. We are watching him while Grandpa goes out of town for a couple of days.

Soooo...I'm thinking a viewing of Madagascar 2 is in my near future!

Have a great weekend!

Sounds just like LIFE to me! So DS1 is finally REALLY getting to go to Basic, huh? Oh, I know you have enjoyed EVERY reprieve! It'll be good though... your boys are men of high integrity - and he will do GREAT, I just know it!

Hope Hubby & #3 had a good time - safe travels for their trip home.

Soccer parents are the WORST. My kids played numerous sports - and I swear it - soccer parents are THE worst! But the GAME is the BESSST!

Our daughter and kids went this afternoon to see Madagascar 2. i was invited but have not really felt the best this weekend. My goal is to one of these days have a whole weekend that I feel GREAT!! The last 3 have not been fun at all. Oh well..getting old is not a fun thing for me anyway..
Glad to hear about your family. They are really busy..
