For the last week we have not had access to any news source, so I know this isn’t a reaction to the recall. Zakiaya and I went to the grocery store yesterday, and as we walked around she apologized to all of the animal products that she saw. “Im sorry you had to die for someone to eat you!”

Caden’s team ended the season in First place, with a 5-2-0 record. For the second season, they have added a few more players to the team and splitting it into 2 equal teams. Looking at his upcomiong schedule, he managed to get a week off during the time we will be gone, so he won’t miss any games. This is important to us as he tends to drive us crazy, if not allowed to let off steam by kicking the ball around.

The little two managed to pull it off. Enough energy expended on wishing and they got a 2 hour weather delay for their first day back to school. With that magic phone call the whole house shuts down, the sandwiches are left as is on the kitchen counter and we all head back to our respective beds, for an extra bit of sleep.

The last thing I remember is hearing Obama surging in New Hampshire before Kiaya came running in shouting out the time. Quickly the house roused itself again, clothes came off the floor and back onto bodies, sandwiches were finished and packed away, the coffee pot sprung to life.

Not sure what they are nor am I curious, but the kids have been quiet (actually quite loud just contained) for the last half hour as the have a bean bag battle in the front room.

Played soccer for over an hour this evening at the schools end of year picnic. It started out as kids vs the Dad until some of the kids took pity on me and helped even the teams out, at which point I retired to the goal, and was able to catch my breath again. At that point it was 4-1 in the kids favor, my single goal being a beautiful drop kick that bounced through the posts. It took a minute of explaining that yes the goalie could score in a game where the goalie was the only player on the team.
