2nd Day, 2nd Entry

Well, two days in a row. I guess that I am officially a blogger now, although I just started looking at all the lists and link and pictures and "about me" things that i can include on my blog. I will figure them out later on.

Today, I am tired. It was a sleepover last night. Yes, we have had a sleepover before, but this was our first weeknight sleepover. It was our friends anniversary and they had plans to go away for the night. They asked if Andrew's friend Andrew could come over after school and spend the night. We said yes and Andrew has been counting down the days until this grand event for the last week. Andrew C. and Andrew H. have been in school together for two years as well as Cub Scouts. That is how they address each other when at school, soccer games, or playing lego in the basement. A normal conversation is
"Hey, Andrew C. do you want to build Legos?"
"Sure Andrew H." (They are 7 years old and live by the code of short sentences.)
"I'm going to build a boat, Andrew C."
"Cool! I'm going to build a bigger boat Andrew H."
"Well my boat will be faster than yours Andrew C"...

Anyway, they arrived on our doorstep after racing down the hill from the bus stop and announced they were thirsty and needed a snack. The afternoon was spent hunting frogs and tadpoles in the backyard, one of their favorite activities. My wife called me at work to brag that so far she was the only one to actually catch a frog and the boys thought she was very cool to help catch frogs. The rest of the afternoon was spent riding bikes and scooters, performing jumps and me averting my eyes as they came down the hill at speeds that I could only imagine would result in a trip to the emergency room, but thankfully they had fun, no major scrapes or bruises, or grand wipeouts for Youtube viewing.

Dinner was the traditional kid standby of pizza, followed by gameboy, and then the Star Wars DVD and a bowl of popcorn. It amazes me that they are still fascinated with a movie made 20 years before they were born and watched 20 times before in their lives.
