Odds and Ends

So my older boy saw that I was referring to him as Bug in this blog, and he became very indignant. Apparently it's way too babyish a name for a 7-year-old. So I guess I'll just use their real names, which are... (drum roll)... Jordan and Ethan!!!

Jordan, who is on the youth wrestling team, has his last tournament tomorrow, praise the Lord. It's the State Finals, which means a l-o-n-g day. We have to be there at 8am for weigh in, but the wrestling won't start until 10ish. Then we wait. And wait. And wait. Eventually, Jordan's weight class will have their turn, and I'll watch him wrestle for 3 minutes, which is how long the matches are for this age group. Then we'll wait around some more. In all, he'll probably wrestle a total of 3 matches (9 minutes). We'll be there all day. Did I mention that there will be a lot of waiting around?

We're heading down to Virginia and Washington DC in a few weeks to visit family and do some sight seeing. It will be the longest car trip we've ever made with the boys (8-10 hours each way). It will either be a really fun adventure, or the trip from from Hell.

Baseball (for Jordan) and T-ball (for Ethan) is supposed to start next week. I hope the snow melts by then, 'cause playing baseball in your snow boots just isn't right.
