Still no Pictures but a Quick Update

We've been really lazy about getting the memory card for our camera so I don't have any photos to share but wanted to get a quick post out about our week. The boys both had football games today and as I was sitting out on the field, I noticed what a great view of the cruise ships we had. (not that the boys would notice as their focus was on the ball... or should have been) They have really enjoyed playing flag football. It's very low key and the boys all get to play. I'm planning to have a memory card for the next game so I can take photos of the boys before the season is over.

Duke added some interest to last week by getting his back paw stuck on the fence top while trying to jump over. Dorky dog will sometimes jump the back fence in hot pursuit of a cat or squirrel. He then gets stuck in the field behind our house and has to be lifted back over into our yard. You'd think if he made it over one way, he could figure out how to get back, but we haven't been that lucky. Anyhow, this time his paw got stuck and when he freed himself, he got a pretty nasty cut. We've been drugging him with Benadryl and doggie aspirin so he'll stay doped up and off of his foot. His bandages have been removed and he's licking his paw like crazy but so far it looks OK and we haven't had to make a visit to the vet.

On Monday, the boys went to see a show called Black Violin, a group of guys playing kind of a hip-hop on violins- they really liked it. This was the day of Duke's injury and fortunately a friend offered to go in my stead. This meant that the boys were able to go hang out with their friend Gabe after the show... needless to say, they were thrilled.

Other than Duke's foot issue, we've had a pretty low key week. We are having some uncommonly low temperatures this year, but today warmed up to almost 70, so "spring" should be around the corner.

We'll go to a Valentine's Day party on Friday the 13th with a group from our defunct homeschool co-op, and then we have all of our normal activities... scouts, Kids Klub and football practice. We're studying simple machines in science so if I can coordinate photos with our projects, I'll post those soon.
