It's only taken 9 years

Was I really complaining on Saturday about how nothing exciting happens in our life? Well, I'm finally in the end stages of my battle with the poison ivy I have had for 2 weeks. I think it's just about gone. Yippie!
Yesterday, Fletcher was trying to playing Tarzan, I think, and decided to jump out of the tree in our front yard. Well, he didn't land quite right and we ended up in the ER. Yep, he broke his left arm. No activities for 1 week. Then back to the Dr. The Dark Blue Cast will be on until around Halloween. Why did I emphasize Dark Blue Cast? Well, it was quite a discussion in the ER last night. What color cast to get in the morning because what color sharpie shows up best on a cast? So, we decided to pick Dark Blue. Just in case you want to know, it is the same color as the Colts and black sharpie shows up wonderfully on it. (Just in case anyone needs this for a future endeavor)

So, I'm doing complaining that we don't have anything going on in our lives. Like Pastor Sattler says, "You need to stop making Sour Grapes." So, I say, "Bring on the wine!!!!!"

Same o'same o'

So, I don't really have to much to blog about right now, except for the fact that I feel guilty for not blogging in awhile. Do I think my family and our day to day life is so boring that I have nothing to blog about? Yep. We're busy. It feels as though we are always on the go. It seems that once the Big 3 are picked up from school we are on the go until bedtime. We have gymnastics, at least the 3 girls go at the same time. We have baseball where Dad is coaching the big 3. That's one night a week of practice and 2 games on Sunday. We have tutoring 2 days a week. We're seeing great progress and hopefully will be done SOON! We are so proud of how hard he's working. We have Midweek School. I am always so thankful for Fridays. NO HOMEWORK!!! FAMILY TIME! I remember being this busy when I was 7. I can understand Fletch being a little busier. He is 9, but I just want my kids to be kids.

Yesterday, though, we did get a special treat. We got a private tour, with another family friend, of the new Lucas Oil Stadium. It's the 70,000 seat facility where the Colts play. We got to go into the locker rooms, see the press boxes, and run around like crazy on the field. What a memory and an experience. Here's a typical sotry of my son and my girls. We get on the field and Fletch starts diving and sliding into the end zone and running to the 50 yard line and back. Hannah, Mariah, andPaige run to the Colts Helmet on the 50 yard line and start doing cartwheels. Are they practicing to be a Colt Cheerleader later in life? Please help me have patience and understanding if that's what they decide. Hopefully, I can post pictures of it soon.
