Boys Will Be Boys

Even the big boys like a new toy gun. Uncle Louie (my friend Lewis) was here this weekend bearing gifts. Give Kritter an M60 and watch daddy have a good time. Of course, this happens with a lot of toys. I just happened to catch this one on film (digital actually). The 'boys' were entertained for hours.
This weekend had all sorts of activity. Marcus' basketball game. The septic system lost a motor and we were without overnight. Two sleepovers and mom decided that was that. Tracy and I went to date night (two tickets, two med. sodas and a med. popcorn for $12) at the theater and saw 27 Dresses. It was actually quite good in spite of it's chick flick status at our house. After a weekend like we had, mom needed it.

Kristopher and Saber's Sleepover

Kristopher and Saber had a sleepover last night. Seems Marcus had a birthday party sleepover with his friends at Brandon Bartz' Friday night and Kristopher was not to be outdone so Saber came last night and they've had a great time together. I have to point out, though, that their taste in pajamas is uncannily alike, don't you think? Looks like Kristopher slept on his hand last night. The stamp on his hand is now on his cheek also. It was an interesting night though. The septic pump died last night and we are waiting for the repairman to show up so we can get back to life as normal. Luckily, in a house full of boys, going potty outside is thought of as fun. I can't say I'm as enthusiastic.

Recreation Basketball 2008

We've been having basketball instruction and practices since the beginning of the year under the Larned Recreation Commission. We are now divided into teams and playing games on Saturday mornings during the month of February. We won our first game but lost today's game. The teams are made up of 2 4th graders and 4 3rd graders. It's amazing to me the improvement just in one year. Marcus is on a team with his friends Brandon Bartz, Kolby Keith and Steven Tran. What does it say when the only player shorter than your son is the Viatnamese boy? I'll tell you, though, that Steven makes up for his height in pure heart and effort. Marcus (#6) is loving basketball this year.
