More pics

It is Friday and the weather is still going to be cool.

Yesterday, Jess and Drew watched the Iben kids. They came over to the office in the morning and we let them play with the computer boxes. They built a castle. We had ordered pizza and had lunch with them. It was nice to have them around. I posted some pictures of the fun.

Not much on the agenda today. I have a meeting at 8 and then office work the rest of the day. Nancy is going to a funeral today and will be gone.

Registration is Monday so we will be working this weekend to get everything ready. It is better to work over the weekend than to be panicked the day of the event.

Not much else. I hope everyone has a good weekend.

Off to start.

I guess I forgot

So Jess wanted a picture of her running at the state track meet on the blog.

It is odd that I hadn't put one up. I must have been so caught up in the hoop-la that I didn't think about it.

Well, here it is.

Jess is going to hang out with Madison, Brady, Carter and Drew today. I think they are coming to the office today to eat lunch with us and play in the boxes we have from all the computers.

One meeting this morning, one tomorrow. School registration is Monday. Things seem to be rolling right along.

off to start.

Picture post

The weather is wonderful. Low 80's and no humidity. I am not sure what gives but I hope it lasts.

Nothing too crazy going on. Jess and I played a little tennis in the street last night. I made Manacotti for dinner and Drew had football practice.

I had to post today because Jess was complaining that I didn't have any state track pictures posted on the blog. Well, I don't have them with me so I put a picture up of her that I shot last night while we were working on dinner.

Not much on the agenda. Things are pretty quiet.

Time for a change

I decided to change the look for my blog. Let me know what you think.

Well the melatonin helped last night. I slept through the night and feel much better today.

It was a pretty uneventful day yesterday. Went to work, came home cooked dinner, went to bed. That pretty much sums it up.

Drew is still having trouble with his stomach I think Dawn is going to take him to the doctor this week. He was sleeping when I got home and said it still hurt, I gave him pepto and he seemed to feel better.

Jess slept in and then went to the pool in the afternoon. She is enjoying her week off.

The weather has been pretty good. I think it is going to be cool again this week. Low 80's for the rest of the week. Some minor chances of rain but nothing of any significance.

It won't be long and school will be starting up again. Jess will be a senior and Drew a freshman....Heaven help me!

Off to start.

Well Hello Monday whats been, a week?

It was a long weekend of basketball. The weather was good but I saw very little of it. Most of the weekend was spent in a gym in East Des Moines.

They didn't have all of the starters there so we didn't do that well. They played 3 games on Saturday and lost all three. On Sunday they won one of three. Jess played well and lead the team in scoring in all the games. The last game, the one they won, she scored 19 of the teams 30.

Drew spent the weekend hanging out with friends and mowing lawns. He mowed Nancy's and I had him mow mine as well since I was in Des Moines all weekend.

It was the last summer basketball Jess will ever play. She was a bit worn out last night. Six games in three days and she didn't get many breaks.

Today it is going to be hotter than it has been in awhile. I think close to 90. Drew has to mow Gene and Marsha's and then I think Jess is taking him to the pool at the country club.

A week from today we have school registration, two weeks from today, new teachers have orientation and the week after that the whole staff is back. Summer is winding down. I consider this the last week we will get any peace.

I haven't been sleeping well the last couple of nights. I have terrible dreams, not sure what they are but they have been making me toss and turn and wake up a lot. I may take sleeping pills tonight to see if that will help. It sucks being up at night.

Ok, off to start.
