NYE

I thought, with my youngest being 9, that most of the surfaces of the house and its items would no longer be sticky… I was mistaken…

Oxbear is gone mid-morning for a few hours visiting with I and Kat for conversation, then gathering more pinewood derby supplies

While I work around the house, Yali and Patience fight heartily off-and-on through the morning and into the afternoon

Puck begs more pepperoni-and-cheese quesadillas for lunch, discuss Roth IRA’s with him

Florissant Civic Center for ice skating in the mid-afternoon… joined by “Grandma”, Francis and S…

fresh ice, lots of laps

snack break… nachos and a Pepsi for Mama; cotton candy for the kiddos

Home for things like fries and pizza rolls while watching “Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle” as Puck works on his Book Nook model for nearly four hours

After the kids are tucked into bed, make some soft-boiled eggs to counteract the indulgence after nine o’clock while Oxbear runs to Walgreen’s for more Tootsie Pops for Puck
