Random Notes from the Sandwich Life
1. A notable day. The last full day of school for the boys (although they get out a half hour early--cutting short my lunch with my husband...hmph). They go on Tuesday for an hour or something like that. When I came downstairs this morning I found Leo---in a fit of elation----emptying his backpack onto the living floor. Composition notebooks, random books, 49 SOAR slips (not that he counts or anything) and various other detritus. I asked him if the middle of the living room floor was the best place for this and he cheerfully said, 'of course!" I hate to argue with a cheerful Leo and I admit it did make quite a statement so I let it be. Later Ernie and were looking at it all and he picked up this. This is one of those slips (I don't think it's a SOAR slip--I get confused on all this stuff) they get when they have been a good Dr. Howard citizen and when they get a certain number of them they get a treat. Here Leo has politely added a post it saying that while this is his 20th slip he STILL doesn't want ice cream. God I love that boy. I shake my head by I'm just damn crazy about him.
2. It is also a notable day because tonight Ernie and I get to see our beloved Grant Badger (Little Pieces) play at Mike n Molly's. We (Ern-thia in Grant's parlance) haven't seen him in a million years and he's one of our favorite people. I do seem to have a soft spot for bass players, don't I?
3. Found another sheet of Owen's word illustrations.....my favorite on this one is the little guy looking at the big tree and saying 'gulp' illustrating 'brave.' Although I also like the little guy rearing back in shock at the size of the giant and you gotta like the nurse (note: complete with cap Debbie) attending to the person on the stretcher.
4. My tomatillo plant surrounded by a forest of cilantro and dill volunteers....
Have a good weekend all!
Oh, and I forgot to add....this morning Owen woke me up and while my eyes were still closed, said, "Do you know what Daddy and I are going to do on Memorial Day?" I mumbled 'no' and he said, "we're going to honor Grandpa at the cemetery and we want to invite you. It's Memorial Day and we want to honor him. You can come if you want." and then he added "and Leo has to come." I kissed him and said I'd love to.
