It’s a lovely morning here in Colorado. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the flowers are still blooming and the butterflies have discovered our front yard….hurray!!
I finished the youngest munchkin’s bedroom and he spent his first night in his new bed…we will have to have a party. While the boys were at football last night I disassembled  the twin bed that resided in big brother’s room, carried the pieces to the basement for storage and proceeded to clean and reorganize our eldest’s room. I scrubbed the floor,  removed a plethora of stickers from the walls…no easy task…stickers are not my favorite…especially when they are stuck on walls!!! Anyway both kiddos have a nice, decluttered room to “Hang out” in…and I am determined to dive into the three closets that remain.
I need to make breakfast, so enough about me…I am handing off to the man of the house to fill you in on football…and maybe a bit of politics…enjoy the day.
Dada da da! Tonight is the first Denver Broncos football game of the 2011 season. Yeah I know it’s only pre-season but it’s football! I know my little brother is excited and my Mom is too. We’ll have to cook up something special for the occasion. Last night the boys and I went to football and the little guys game was up first. They only had 5 kids show up (lots of kids are on vacation) so they had to play every down as they had no substitutes. The little guys scored a bunch. The highlight was a 100 yard run for a touchdown! You should have seen him running the length of the field with everyone chasing him. When he finally got to the end zone, he flexed both arms in celebration. He’s scored a lot this season but always wanted a long run. You can’t get much longer than the entire length of the field.
Next up was the oldest ones game, he had 6 players show meaning only one reserve. Once again he was a force on defense but it was his play at quarterback that shinned. He threw a long touchdown pass and a bunch of other shorter passes to his teammates. Both boys have come a long long way since the season began.
Earlier in the day, the little guys teacher (we found out the older ones 2nd grade teacher will be the little ones teacher this year, yeah) took both boys to the book store for 1 1/2 hours of study. Mom and I ran an errand downtown and on the way spotted our close friend and his two kids on the side of the freeway with a flat tire. We of course stopped to help. His wife was working  (she too works at Whole Foods) and he was headed to his office with his kids in tow. They’d just be hanging out at his office for the day. Now thinking that’s no way for a kid to spend one of the last days of summer, we offered to take them with us to our pool. He said he’d let us know but about 15 minutes later he called and said they’d love to go. We picked them up on our way home and took them with us and had them for most of the afternoon.
After football we headed home for a quick snack and then bed. We all slept in, me until 6:30 which is way out of line. It’s much cooler this morning, you can feel fall in the air. No politics today, I’m too tired. I did hang out with my Mom for 45 minutes yesterday, she’s pretty funny these days and enjoying life which is great. Everyone worries about her but she’s doing great. I also ran into her at the store a little bit later. The stock market dropped another 500+ points yesterday, get used to it, it’ll be awhile before all this mess is over. You can’t clean up a 30 year problem (we’ve been living beyond our means as a Country for that long!) overnight. Ok ok, I’ll stop, that’s it for today. Here’s a quote for ya’ll, enjoy,
“Always do right; it will gratify some people and astonish the rest.” – Mark Twain
Take care and God Bless,
