First, let me apologize to our faithful readers. It slipped my mind that I was supposed to write the blog while Doug is out playing hunter-gatherer with his buddy. Thank you to Uncle Tom for the reminder.
Friday, I was an hour late picking the boys up from soccer and they were none too happy about it. Ty was still pouting because I would not drive him down to Vinny’s Friday-Monday…maybe he’ll understand once he himself drives in Labor Day weekend traffic.
Jagger was trying to explain the perils of driving round trip in traffic two times in four days, and that I would spend about 4 hours each way if I were lucky. A grand total of 16 hours driving on one of the most dangerous driving weekends of the year. Thankfully, Ty shook off his attitude an hour after we were home.
Yesterday, Jagger went to Zach’s and Ty had Sonny come over. Jagger, Zach, Ethan, Matt, Lexi and Marcella hung out in Vail and then the boys went to Matt’s to stay all night. Ty had Sonny sleep over and they played, and played and finally crashed on the couch.
This morning the sleepover crew woke up at 10:20 and the crew at Matt’s woke up at 10:40, according to Matt’s mom, Alison. Alison just dropped all the boys at Ford Park to play basketball. My guess is the girls will be joining them soon. You see, they group text their location, as well as their plans and then they all join up to hang out.
Fortunately, this seems to be a pretty good group of kiddos. Some are US Ski Team bound…others are in competitive soccer, basketball and cross country. They all seem to strive for good grades and they talk about what Colleges they may want to attend. Jagger explained to me the other day that if he races on the C.C. team he can “Letter” on the Varsity team as a freshman and that will look really good on his college applications. I really love it that he is thinking this far ahead!
Ty and sonny finished breakfast and now they are lounging on the couch. I’ll round them up and take them to Vail in a little while, as the Jazz festival, Duck races and Farmers Market are all happening today.
Mojo slept on Doug’s side of the bed Friday and Saturday night, but don’t tell the Mister. Mojo and I hiked up the mountain yesterday and his morning. He is doing so well with his training that it is actually a pleasure to walk with him.
I spoke with Doug yesterday and he saw a big Buck, but the hunted out tracked he hunters. This is sad for Doug…but all good with me.
I’m off to take the boys to town. I’ll remember that I have Blog duty this week.
Love to all and GB.
