Lazy and Lovin' It

There is nothing going on tonight. Unbelievable. We don't have any sports' practices or church activities and we have already finished our homework. We picked up pizza for dinner tonight and the laundry is almost done. All adding up to a lazy evening...a rare occasion around these parts.

Here's what's going down...

Tate is dressed up as Spiderman. I've had to put his mask back on him at least a dozen times. He's jumping on my bed, looking at himself in the mirror, and flashing spidey-hands at whatever comes his way. Insanely adorable. Oh, wait, it just got better. He just stuffed his mask up the sleeve of his costume and is telling his daddy that now he has "a beeg hooj muchel" (big huge muscle). Could he be any cuter?

Keaton the Benefactor is hard at work. Today at Wal-Mart he pleaded for a bag of Jolly Ranchers and DumDums. Right now he is meticulously writing all the names of his classmates on little tags that he is hooking onto the candy. All so that he can give a gift to his friends. What a sweetie. If I were in 3rd grade, I'd be lucky to have Keaton as a friend...and I'm not just saying that. By the way, he came home the other day and said that a little girl in his class had "asked him out." Oh my...this is starting way too early! I asked him what he told her -- he said that he already had a girlfriend...his mama! :) My heart smiled.

Sawyer is playing baseball in the living room. Well, I say "playing baseball"...it is really more like air-ball. He is swinging a bat at an imaginary ball and then switching to the "mound" (a.k.a. the throw pillow) so that he can pitch that same imaginary ball. I tell ya, my Sawyer eats, sleeps, and breathes baseball. He is so bummed out that his last game is tomorrow night. Me, too. I can't get enough of watching my boys on the diamond!

Kirk is stretched out watching TV (very rare occurrence) and I'm stretched out checking up on all of you people!

It doesn't get much better than this. I'll take a night like this any day!

Amb and the other four,
Wish we could be there. I was wiped out today, after our long two day trip doing the house-hunt thang! Came home and napped, then watched Fox go through their hoops and updates on Washington's latest, then switched to the Final of Amer.'s Got Talent and saw Sikeston's Boyd Opera Star get first! Boy, can Boyd Belt out the high ones. Even Placido Domingo had a taped message for him! I was elated for him.

I do hope the Senate's vote will ease the mortgage market with our plans in the balance. Pray for us.

Now, to young "Spidee", would be "Mike McG" and your "boyfriend K", Poohpa sends his best "YEAH, MEN!" Oh, and to the "couch potato", glad you're on the mend!

Love you all,
Dad
