We had a nice morning, especially since the cable remote went belly up.  The boys got out some games and played away while I made breakfast. They didn’t seem to notice the absence of mindless television at all. They played games until it was time to get dressed and head out to the airport. It was a really nice morning.
We picked up “Dad” and our “Italian” extended family member,”LoLo” from the airport and listened to the wisdom of 6 and 9 year old boys on the way home.
After a bit of cabin fever, the boys, the dogs and I needed some fresh air and exercise. Â We walked a couple of miles (the boys rode scooters), stopped at the park again for some much needed “running around”. Â Good for the kids…good for the dogs…and definitely good for me. On the way home each boy took a dog and had the dogs pull them part of the way home…good times!! Â One more step toward our makeover.
We had five friends here for dinner last night. The food was good, the company better.  We relived some of our stories from our 20’s-30’s.  Very funny stuff, I can’t believe some of the things those Doctors did. The lovely Laquitcia shared a bit of her med student  years…I should have gone to med school!! Anyway, a wonderful night.  Of course, our oldest was trying to make off with as much chocolate as he could grab.  Fortunately, everyone was well aware of his tactics and stopped him at almost every turn.
The wind was insane and at 1 a.m. I bounded downstairs to pull up the awnings before they gave lift to our house. The wind was so loud it sounded as if a train was cruising overhead…needless to say sleep was elusive.
Our baby turns 7 today….The “Harry Potter” festivities are fast approaching….14 kids at our house…I really need to re think kids per square foot. Â Wish us luck!!!
God Bless
