Entry FeedMother's Log - Summer Vacation - Day Two
Husband was home today, and the kids didn't fight quite as much as yesterday. Six loads of laundry were done and put away. House is a mess. Only slept in until 8 am.
Son Two was up at 7:45 am, and was lounging on the couch watching cartoons. When I asked if he was enjoying his summer vacation so far, he answered in one word, "Awesome!"
Daughter has the illness Son One brought home a few weeks ago. Fever of 104.2 F taken in the arm pit. Double dose of Motrin to get it down. If she still has the fever on Monday may take her to the doctor. No other symptoms present.
Bolton Tractor Pull last night was great, though heavier on the trucks than the tractors. These are really fancy souped-up trucks tractors - I am sure that none of them have ever seen a real field. Learned that diesel fumes won't kill you, but gas fumes do. An important lesson? Woke up with 4 mosquito bites. Damn. I hate bugs.
Currently, Husband is outside playing catch with the boys. He is trying to explain to Son One why it doesn't work when you try to catch a baseball with your face. Son One does not appear to be injured. I don't really understand what kind of game of "catch" they are playing. Husband just gave Son One a 5 second head start before he wiped the baseball at him and tried to hit him... The silly games these boys play!
Now Son Two and Daughter are climbing from the hood of the minivan to the trunk of the car. As Husband is the supervisor on duty, I choose to come inside and tell you about it, instead of watching someone get hurt.
As soon as someone comes in crying, I will start popping the popcorn and putting on tonight's DVD. Our feature presentation, "Inkheart."
This may be a long summer.
