Hump Day updates

It's summer so things are slow around here, at least for this moment!

W has been at Soccer camp several hours away. I took them (4boys altogether from our area) up on Sunday. W wanted to make sure we got there in plenty of time for them to get settled. He thought it all started at noon. We left home at the crack of dawn and arrived at 10:30. In reality check in started it at 1 and the camp started at 3! W got the time messed up but they certainly had plenty of time to get settled.

He had a great time, I didn't hear from him much. He said they played, practiced and slept soccer. He played to field which was new for him. He really likes getting out of the Goalie box and moving around. W has a quite a powerful right leg on him and can kick the ball 64 mph (yes, that's miles per hour). The ball is a dangerous weapon coming off of his foot. He said that he sprain a boys ankle with his kick. W kicked the ball, it headed for the boy, the boy jumped and the ball hit his foot and twisted it around. The boy had to be carried off the field and rested the rest of the day. Fortunetly the boy was back good as new the next day! This is minor compared to the time he kicked the ball and it hit a girl in the head! She went to the ER with a concussion.

It always good to have him back home but now the laundry starts. You know sweaty clothes after a couple of days just take on a life of their own!

G went shopping today. He had $ to burn. He got a Pokemon stuffed animal and then rented a Pokemon game from blockbuster.

G and I watched a movie from the Red Box (LOVE the Red Box). Spiderwick was great, it has adventure, spookiness and wholesome! I'm glad we watched in the day light! G says that he could have watched in the dark but I'm not so sure!
