Last weekend was a basketball nightmare-Tanner had 4 games on Saturday and we were on the road to the first one by 6:30! We got to come home briefly in the middle but he was bawling and throwing a fit about having to go to the 3rd and 4th games. Isaac was going to take him and his church youth stuff had been canceled but he just kinda shrugged and said he didn’t care if he went or not, but that set me off…I don’t know what I said—and I’m not inclined to ask—but I know I paid for it in the silent treatment. Yikes! We probably both could’ve handled it better. Live and learn.
Basketball is kind of an all around nightmare right now. Tanner loves/hates it, flip a coin, you never know which kid your getting. And with Cannons team my friend asked me if I even like coaching cuz I always seem angry… well… no I don’t like it. We’re way too lalala chase butterflies in right field for my style. Why do it? -oh yeah just for fun and exercise- but I’m not wired that way!!! And I don’t have competitors, I just don’t get it. But I think it’s important they get to play and see game situations and hopefully learn from them…if they cared, but they don’t. I don’t know, maybe I really shouldn’t be doing it. And I think Tanner’s makes me hate it even more-not that I agree with what goes on at his practices I don’t think I’ve ever seen them work on defense once, and his coach was telling them they’ve got to be able to shoot from the outside (15 footers-they are 5!!!!! Ok and 6 but still!) and yes they saw zone but so what? Maybe we could work on passing and maybe make the zone shift??? Anyway but every single practice there are 4-6 dads there helping. No wonder I’m a sunk ship with Cannons team. It’s just me-and I’m just a mom that brings extra shoes, basketballs, cones, and jerseys to practice in a freak’n laundry basket! Have mercy!
Anyway enough of that vent!
Here’s the pics. If you just glance at them hopefully it looks fun😉 and that was a rant, there are some good things.
And I do love the pics Andrea takes! They totally make me want a new camera!
That afternoon Cann Tanner and I helped spread some pasture grass seed at a friend in the ward’s place. Colt was so sad to miss the service project but he was napping as were Seth and Isaac (extra sleep is always good but I have no idea how Isaac bribed Colt to take a nap! Ha)
Saturday evening (instead of Sunday) the Chiefs played —so Cannon might have had a little extra motivation on the service project, he didn’t really want to wait for Colt to wake up! I think they got lucky but they won so he was happy.
It was a busy day though!
Sunday…the next disaster. After church we always eat Ramen because the boys love it Isaac hates it but he’s not there and it’s no work for me. But I know there’s no nutrition in it-that’s why Isaac hates it-but I was going to have some too but I like to put peas in mine. I started doing it when Cannon was tiny and I ate Ramen cuz we were pretty dang poor, not just cuz it was easy. We called it “gourmet ramen” and so every once in a while I still like a little gourmet ramen. I headed down to the freezer to get the peas and…they weren’t frozen.
Ahhhhh
What a pain in the butt!
Everything was still cold, somethings were still frozen and I freeze a lot of things that don’t have or need to be frozen. So we scrambled and rearranged and put somethings in the fridge and loaded up the upstairs freezer and cooked some things up too.
What else were we going to do with thawed roll dough???
The breaker was definitely tripped we think it might have happened when Isaac was working on the treadmill, but we’re not sure. We went ahead and defrosted it-it needed to be done anyway- and it seems to have worked since. Who knows!
A few Sunday smiles, I can’t remember what they were playing but they were having fun.
The kids had some Walmart gift cards that were burning holes in their pockets. I was going to take them Saturday evening while Isaac was church’n it but that got canceled and the day was just busy! So we went Monday after school. Cannon are Tanner bought drones and Colt wanted a “not kid” tablet. He had saved up and so we ordered it because they didn’t have it in stock. At first Colt was wanting a drone now the other boys are wishing they had fancy tablets-choices! A fitting dilemma for this weeks Come Follow Me 😉

We went into Hobby Lobby this week and Seth didn’t have to work very hard to talk me into these “Rubble” (yellow) flowers for Rizzy’s grave.
Sister Gillette and I planted some real ones that should bloom next spring but I hated there being nothing there!
I don’t know what else but my blogging hour is up! So I guess that’s it!
Oh my blog book from last year came this week-I finally bought one with a hard cover…but I did it all from my phone and didn’t preview it so the picture on the back is turned the wrong way…oh well I just keep them in my closet anyway-but I love having them!
