Another year come and almost gone. The boys were up at 5:30am and are already driving me nuts. They wanted to know how to set up a backgammon board… by the time I got the answer, they had set up a checkers board. Then fussed over which they were going to play. I stopped it by fixing breakfast! Food helps the brain work.
I hope we have a wonderful time today… it has gotten warmer again and will allow us to go out and play play play! As long as we can keep the youngest from falling and rolling into rivers and falling out of trees. Maybe I ought to get a couple of pictures. He has two scratches from his underarm to his waist from the tree limb that got him when he fell out of the tree. Luckily, no head injuries from the ‘river roll’ though his head almost hit a rock. Yaa, it has been a busy week.
I once had to call the fire dept. to get my daughter Danielle out of a tree she had gotten stuck in. Stuck, as in having her knee where two huge limbs parted. Funny thing was that our neighbor across the street (who had lots of sons) came to our aid… with a car jack. He put it above her leg and cranked it until the tree finally let her go just as the fire truck pulled up. Seems that one of HIS boys had gotten stuck in the same tree years before.
