We are so happy to have it be warm again and play outside. We've all decided we aren't winter people. We've been shooting hoops outside and practicing pitching in the backyard.
We had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day at Chris' mom's house with the Serafinis. There's nothing like corned beef, cabbage and Irish Soda Bread. This week we had the book fair too. At church, they've put me in charge of a large, intergenerational gathering that we're going to have in June. So I've started having some meetings about that. Thomas' teacher had emergency surgery and will be out 6 weeks, so some parents are making meals for her while she is out. Thursday was our turn, and Thomas LOVED seeing her and her farm. We got to help with the evening chores--getting eggs out of the coop, feeding the chickens and giving water to the horse. I dream of having a beautiful old farm like she has! Today Chris and Nolan are coming back from their overnight on a battleship in Boston. I'm anxious to hear how it went. Lights out were at 11pm and reveille at 6am, so I'll bet they will be tired. Chris' mom is going to pick them up soon from the bus drop off. Thomas is home with a fever today.
When Thomas came home from school on Thursday, he ran off the bus and twisted his ankle. He seemed fine the rest of the day, but the next morning it was puffy and he wouldn't walk on it. So we took him to the doctor and they took X-rays. Nothing broken, just a sprain. He's walking on it much better today, of course now he seems to have a little cold. We've had a quiet weekend without Nolan and Chris. We did see Helen and Olivia skate on Saturday at RPI--they were terrific and beautiful on the ice.
This week we finally have no more half days, so a nice normal week. Thomas and Chris are going to a Math Night at school Thursday night. We are checking out a kennel for Chester on Saturday for when we go to Boston. It's a 45 min drive, but it's on the way to Massachusetts and we've heard great things about it .
Where is this kennel? It sounds like it would be near-ish to me.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering.
It's called Fox Briar and they only do business word of mouth. They're in Nassau. I guess it's an old farm and the people are there all the time. They do freelance work for Sesame Street! They walk the dogs and the dogs can be put with other dogs if you request it. The best part is it's only $18 a day. I'll get you the number if you want it.
ReplyDeleteYeah that is RIGHT near me. I'd love to have the phone number. We have a good kennel, but we are looking for a back-up.
ReplyDeleteYou can email it to me. ;)
