Getting Ready to Go

We have started getting organized to leave on vacation this weekend. I started wrapping things up at work so that everyone would be ok without me. I think it should be an easy pack as long as nothing goes wrong.

Warrens First Soccer Scrimmage

Warren had his first soccer scrimmage today at soccer practice. It was the first good weather day we have had. He had tons of fun as usual. He kept putting his hands in his pockets, which wasn't great for his running. I need to work with him on

Nikki is a Sub

-stitue teacher. Today Nikki had her first substitute teacher job at the local charter school. She really enjoyed it, and it wound up being the little girl across the streets class. She did have someone throw up in the first 10 minutes, but overall she really enjoyed the experience and

St. Partick's Day

The kids slept in a bit this morning, but not enough. About noon they finally cleaned the living room after much pushing. Then they went to clean their rooms. Warren was refusing saying he was too tired. Eventually I went in there and he had gone from pretending to sleep

Grizzlies Game

My dad and Vicki took the kids to a Grizzlies hockey game tonight. They have never really watched hockey, but they really love live events like that. They both had an absolute blast. My Dad said they yelled and screamed the whole time, and would probably be horse tomorrow. They

The Wind Continues

It's still extremely windy out today. The kids can't play outside as things keep getting blown around everywhere. I got new light-up wheels on Marks and Warren's scooter. They are way faster than their old ones. For Marks scooter I had to file down

Warren's Second Soccer Day

The wind has been whipping since late last night. Our patio furniture is all over the deck. I even had to go find a cushion that had blown out of the yard. Both Nikki and I didn't sleep well because of banging everywhere. Hopefully it dies down soon.

Harlem Globe Trotters

Today Aunt Sarah and Uncle John took the kids to the Delta Center to see the Harlem Globe Trotters basketball show. They had a blast and got a new basketball, and Warren wants to teach us all the cool moves he learned.

First Day of Warren's Soccer

Warren had his first day of soccer today. It was really cold outside, but once he got moving he didn't mind. He really like's his coach and listened to him intently. He follows along with the ball really well, he just needs to be a bit

Teacher Prep Day

The kids had no school today as it was a teacher prep day. Nikki did her best to keep them occupied throughout the day and they were pretty good really. I worked all day and didn't have any big disturbances. Mark had his second and last day of

Dune 2 and No Kids

Today we went to see Dune 2 with my Dad, Ian, and Elise. We don't go to hardly any movies in the theater, but I really wanted to see this sooner rather than later. I really loved the movie, I thought it was amazing cinematically and story-wise. I

Relaxing and Cleaning

We did some relaxing today as well as some cleaning. Not really much else though.
