Thursday and Friday

Ok....beautiful day on Thursday. Everything is so nice and green. Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming and the WIND!!!! I haven't had a "good" hair day, well, in a LONG time. Branches down in the backyard, lawn chairs tipped over, cotton fluff from Cottonwoods floating and landing on your eyelashes and hair. Ebo calls it SNOW!! He loves gathering it up. Oh, and it is impossible to sweep!!!

TGIF!!!! Hello almost weekend!!! Ate lunch with a friend today. Nice to get out of the office. Talked with Bear and still no turkey. Maybe Saturday? Sawyer had soccer game. They lost 3/2. Then S&S off to Southlake Town Square to watch a friend dance in a program. Friend is a "GIRLFRIEND" of one of their friends. I straighten up garage and found in my van my ND tax refund. Nice surprise!! Cashing that baby tomorrow. Don't know how I had forgotten it but could be that it was in a Ziploc that had slid off the seat and landed in side of door compartment. Still a bit windy but oh so nice out. Toodles til Saturday's update....I am tired just thinking about Saturday's activities!!!

Wacky Wednesday

It is definitely springtime in Texas. April showers bring May flowers, as they say!! Well, maybe it should be Texas lightning bring nervous parents at baseball games!!! With the rolling of thunder, pitches are pitched, bats are swung and outs are thrown but when lightning lights up the sky, METAL bleachers become empty and players run for the dugout. METAL dugouts.....not good. So they run for their cars. Coaches say don't leave, wait 15 minutes in cars. Half way to car, coaches yell game canceled. Wave see ya tomorrow at practice then. Coaches yell, "Got your baseball bag?"(which is still hanging in METAL dugout). Run back to METAL dugout while fighting the crowd who are exiting the park. Wait, where is Sawyer? Scan the crowd, spot him and yell, "You going with me or dad?" "DAD!" is the answer. Ebo and I bolt(no pun intended) for the van. Spencer?, right, he went with friend to church night. Lots of lightning and thunder but no rain.....Dakota dog thinks it is the fourth of July. The sky opens an hour later.....and why did we run the sprinklers this morning? Only in Texas, I say!!!

Tuesday

Well, Tuesday was not so much of a crazy day!!!! Everyone was up and at 'em and out the door on time!!! Woo Hoo!! Work was good, weather was muggy and hot, school was full of learning and no activities to run to. I had my last yoga class and have already signed up for the summer session. Barry arrived home from Lubbock and was busy getting hunting things ready for the turkey expedition. Boys took dogs for a walk, Sawyer and Dakota, Spencer and Shadow and Ebo and Ruger. No rat sightings.....PHEW!!! Everyone to bed and into dreamland!!!

And it is only Monday........

Life at the Hanson's is always busy!!! Running here and there, appointments, shopping, movies, sleep overs, games....phew!!! It is only Monday and I feel like I have run a marathon.

Barry left Sunday afternoon for Lubbock, TX for work til late Tues. nite. Then he leaves Wed. morning for Kansas to go turkey hunting (his first time looking for TOM or BETTY)and comes back Sun. Ebo has baseball game Wed. nite. Thank goodness it is in Keller. Thurs. all three have baseball practice and Saturday all three have baseball. Ebo a double header and S&S a tourney. Really need to get this cloning thing down.

So here is my MONDAY....work at 8am. First drop Ebo off at school at 7:40. Suppose to be 7:30 but when dealing w/Ebo on a Monday morning...I'll take what I can get. Arrive at work....work boody off and leave at 2:30 to get to Ebo's school by 3 to pick up. Then home cuz pest control is coming at 4 to take a look at the garage since Hunter Barry and Ruger discovered and trapped/killed a 14 inch NORWAY RAT. Yes, I have been squeamish too and watching my steps in the garage. ICKY!!! So pest man restocked the trap and off he went. Time to get to Sawyer's soccer game. Grab camera and I am off. Only to get there and they are done. DERN IT!!! Next game...I promise!!!

Get turkey drumsticks in oven. Homework with Ebo. A very painful activity-mostly for me!!! Ok, time for Samantha Who? and CSI Miami. Tell S&S bed NOW for 10th time and Sawyer informs me, now we have been home for 5 hours, that he needs his soccer stuff washed. So here I am at 10:30pm washing soccer stuff. And it is only MONDAY!!!

But am thankful for the roof over our heads and good health!!! And friends that help out in a moments notice....my angels on earth!!!

So with that Good Night and Sweet Dreams!!!

Ebo and Baseball

I guess I was being lazy when I posted the picture show but Ebo's baseball team qualified for nationals at a Super Series Tourney in Wichita Falls. They went undefeated!!! They played March 15-16. We spent the night at the Baymount Hotel. Gramps and Grandma Hanson were visiting so they got to see Ebo play.

Nationals are in July in Desoto, Texas. Yippee!!! Only 45 minutes away. Just need to figure out our summer schedule as the boys usually head up north to the grandparents for the summer. Ebo isn't going to be happy that he has to miss time up there. But what a great experience for him. He has gone thru it with the brothers twice as a spectator so to actually play will be great for him.
