dust motes

object of major desire

Pee-wee soccer update:  in each game, The Kindergartner has shown the ability to break away with the ball, and also shown the ability to be utterly out to lunch.  When he's focused, he does pretty well.

Twelve days until the Pig Pickin:  and we're getting things in shape.  This year will feature t-shirts!

I'm glad I don't get bent out of shape over football games anymore:  otherwise yesterday's debacle by the Tide at South Carolina would have really bothered me.  As it stands, it's like "oh well.  next."  Now if I could only get that way about college basketball.

Grandparent surprises:  we met Papa for dinner in Jackson on Friday evening; Grammie came to spend yesterday afternoon and evening with us.  The boys liked being surprised.  Little Red is especially demonstrative with his pleasure at being thus surprised.

Speaking of Jackson:  the object pictured at the top of this post caused enormous anguish.  The Kindergartner REALLY REALLY WANTS IT and can't understand why his parents didn't just get one at the store for him RIGHT NOW.  It may be delivered by a certain company before October 21st.

New trees:  have made it so far for this week.

Busy days at work:  like, incredibly so.
