Weekend update - hahaha....that makes me think of Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon on SNL....This time last year, our weekends were absolutely crazy with us running Paige back and forth downtown for Nutcracker rehearsal. I LOVE our weekends now! They are exactly what weekends should be - nice and lazy. Now that Paige is taking dance (and doing a local Nutcracker) 5 minutes away - taking her involves zipping over, dropping her off, and then being able to come back home and make dinner or read a book....
Clay didn't make the cut for the high school soccer team. He wasn't devastated though - I think he was prepared. We feel like it might be a blessing in disguise, because he will now be able to concentrate more on taekwondo. And school. Hopefully.
Clay decided this weekend to take Thomas the Turtle for a walk. He thought that "poor Thomas" wasn't getting enough exercise. Thomas is a yellow bellied slider that Clay caught in the lake in his cast net about 4 years ago, when he was about the size of a quarter. (Thomas, not Clay!) Thomas has (obviously) grown a bit since then. And been through a few tanks! (He kept outgrowing them!) I must say though that Thomas is my favorite pet. Look up low maintenance pet in the dictionary and you will see a photo of Thomas! Anyway, my funny son took Thomas out in the yard and "walked" him.
