April 2016

On Saturday I went to see you play your first game at Hamilton H. S.  When I arrived, you came up to me and asked if you could go home with me.  I was  pleasantly surprised, because you had sent me a text a couple of days earlier saying that you would not be spending the night on Saturday.  The name of your team is The Vikings.  During the game you caught three passes and looked good on the field.

After the game you rode with me to your house.  you showed me your room and then took a shower and packed your stuff.  We decided to stop at Hungry Howie's to get some pizza.  The closes one was on Ray, but it didn't have dine in, so we went to the one that was on S. Higley.

 
Then to my house.  You looked for Mr. Bob's stash and you couldn't find it.  He showed you where it was and that was the drawer you just looked into.  You didn't like what he had there, but I suggested the Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet chocolate I had in the pantry, which we used in making chocolate ice cream.
 
 
Then you wanted to make some toffee, which we deed.  The recipe said to chill for 30 minutes, but you put it in the freezer and then I tried to nuke it for a few seconds so I could cut it.  I sent home what was left with you.
 
While we were cooking, Andrew set up the island to do shots of Coke with you.  He asked if he could take his glasses home.  I said yes and wrapped your and his in a bag.
 
 











You started playing Freecell on my computer and you seemed to like it.  I helped you for awhile and then you were on your own.

Bed time.

  You mentioned how soft my blanket was.  You loved it.  I told you I'd get you one.  And I will.  Then Andrew said he wanted one too.

 
You two are so cute.  And you both sleep in your right side.




 
Two brothers together.  Sweet.


The next morning we went to church.  I took you and your brother out with me right after communion.  You were a big help in the kitchen.  After church we went to Denny's for breakfast.  You two had chocolate chip pancakes and chocolate milkshakes.

We stopped back at my house to get your stuff.  That was when you played with my stapler and when I walked in, I saw a staple sticking our of your left thumb.  You were trying to get it out.  Later you said.  "That was a first!"

The last time you slept over, the plan was to go to Bed Bath & Beyond to buy your mother a can opener like the one we have.  It takes the lid off with a magnet and won't leave any sharp edges.  I had two little gift bags with small purses and the cool candle lighter.  You picked the orange/coral one for you mother

Then off to meet your mother.

Saturday the 9th I went another game.

Here's some photos of the game.  You caught a couple of passes and almost made a TD. 





 
On the way to my car I gave you a hug and you said "Thanks for coming".
 
On April 15th your mother posted this on Facebook
Ending the night with a "serious" game of PIG!!

On Saturday the 30th you sent me a text saying that you were not going to play because you didn't feel well and wanted to know if I was still coming to take you and your brother to lunch.  I said yes and we went to BJ's.  I drove Mr. Bob's Porsche and you rode in the front seat.  There is a little hump to get into the seat.  You landed on it and it really hurt.  I do that all the time.

 
While there we talked about my cancelling going to Panama City Beach for your father's BD.  Several reasons.  And you seemed happy not going.  I'm afraid that your starting to have a fear of flying. 
 
Then off to Sweeties.
 
 




 
 
You are growing so fast.
 
 Last day of school is May 19th.  We scheduled a sleepover at my house for Saturday the 14th after your game.
 
School ends on May 19th.
