Our Week in Review

I have a new computer at home and of course my camera is not connecting to the Zoom Browser program, so I’ve been blogging at my parents’ so as to have pictures.  Grrrrr.  I can fix computers pretty well-no truly I can.  I’ve fixed “unmountable boot volume” with blue screens and I’ve dealt with the latest Windows Internet issue and fixed it but cannot get the darn camera to read. Last Sunday Preston and I went to Sunday Park-a park on the reservoir.  This is about as close as we get to water here.  We had a great afternoon together on the playground, sitting on the docks and hiking.  He even got to see a tree that a beaver had gnawed down to make a dam.  It was such a great afternoon.

This week was St. Patrick’s Day.  Preston was so enthralled by the story of the leprechaun.  He was hoping the leprechaun would not sneak into our house a wreck his building he made with his Trio blocks.  I assured him that under no circumstances was a mischievous little leprechaun getting in my home and messing it up.  To that my son’s response was, “but mom-the leprechaun is so small and fast as lightening!”  He didn’t mess up our house, but causes a little ruckus at school-putting sand and green water in the toilets and tipping over some tables.  Even the trap his class built was no match for that little guy!

Yesterday was the second soccer game.  Pres gets tired by the second half of the game.  Partly because I think the shin guards impede his running.  He told me he likes soccer but thinks he’ll do baseball next year. He still tries his best and that’s all that counts!

My mother bought me stools for my counters yesterday.  While in the store Preston was not amused by the customers who did not clean up in the curtain section, so he did.  I’m thinking of hiring him out for the summer.  He’ll work for $5 an hour.  Any takers? ;-)

And lastly a cute picture of my little dude waiting for our pizza last night!

I think I jinxed myself last night in the car.  I was thinking of how it’s spring and we had a great winter with no significant illnesses.  Sure enough, wouldn’t you know he woke up at 2 am with his diagnosis of a “food ache.”  Or my diagnosis of 24 hour bug.  Awesome.  He’s in great spirits though so we’ll just take it easy today!
