Tommy has had 2 soccer games since the beginning of the season. They lost both, but they had a lot of fun and the coaches don’t put much emphasis on winning or losing, they try to push the kids to just play their positions.

Mr Landlord has finally been attentive to some of the repairs that have been needed on the house. He fixed the gate for the fence and attempted to “fix” the garage door. Someone is supposed to be coming Tuesday morning to give him a quote to replace it. He needs to just replace it with an aluminum door, and while he’s at it, add a garage door opener. We were finally able to find some paint that matches to cover up Alex’s artwork. Mr Landlord gave us no help on this matter, so Tom finally just cut a piece of the wall out so we could take it to be color matched. We went to Lowe’s to use up a gift card we had, but they were too busy to help, then they couldn’t get the color match machine to work. So, off to Home Depot, where Tom was in and out of the store with a matched gallon of paint in hand, along with spackle and sandpaper in less time than we were in Lowe’s. It pains us to see Alex’s wonderful masterpieces covered up, but I’m sure he’ll find many more blank canvases at the new place.

So, it’s late and the boys will need to be up early for school. Some pictures from soccer and the past couple of weeks.

I added a couple new videos to our You Tube account this morning. They are cell phone videos, so the quality isn’t awesome, but at least you can see the kids. I was going to add all the videos I have saved on my phone (which include videos others send me of the kiddos), but Alex stole my phone, so I don’t know which ones are which on my computer.
