-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
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
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
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 a piece of plastic that was
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. Warren had
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.
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 more aggressive at going
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 audition classes.
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 felt entertained
We did some relaxing today as well as some cleaning. Not really much else though.
Today Mark left for his dad's. So Warren and I took the time to plant the plants for the spring. I think we have a good mix this year. I overplanted the tomatoes, so I'll just have to take the best few plants that grow. Warren was kind of a
Today Warrens school had a skate night at the local skate rink. Warren had never been, and Mark has only been a few times. We brought along their scooter to ride, as neither of them can really skate in skates. The place was packed with not only the school, but
Both of the boy's scooter wheels aren't turning very well. They are rideable, but not smooth. Today I took Marks apart and the bearings in them were all shot. They wouldn't turn at all, the wheels only moved because the bolt was loose enough on them. Luckily, I had some
Our Ecobee thermostat seems to be having trouble. It's shutting down and erroring out more and more. I ordered a new one the other day and today I got around to changing it out. It wasn't too hard to do.... once I followed the instructions. I tried placing all the
After work today I went and got my haircut. It's been a while since I have had it cut. The haircut place we go to seems to have a huge turnover, the new people just aren't as good. Though I do like how my hair came out, but I forgot
Today we just kind of recovered from the late game last night. Nikki cleaned up the house and I cleaned up the garage. I want to make a youtube video on maintenance for my outboard, so it needs to be clean.
