Am I being usurped??

Here is a little cross section of our last few days...
The funny thing is that he was refusing to eat for anyone else- Ava has the magic touch!

Half an hour later, after getting put in time out for "having words with Mom" over brushing his teeth, he happily lets Ava do the job!
Nothing relaxes my kids like a good book- this particular one is a bit gruesome, but lately Ava's taste in stories envolves the occational macabre T-Rex who eats little brothers!
Here is Eli hanging out with the three cheerleaders....go with me on this.... On the right is Holly, Heather is in the middle, and Hayle is on the left. You can't hardly carry on a conversation with them (because they are shrubberies) but they are pretty to look at!

I will leave you with my dear sister, who is still being held captive at Maxwell. No one captures a day like she does..... or explains flickerball....

To answer your question...flickerball is a game that no one likes and
 no
one understands. Think about playing soccer, but upside down. You can
only use your hands to pass this bouncy, dodgeball-like ball and you
can't go forward while you have it...only backwards...which is quite a
challenge when the object is to get to the opposite end of the
field...and no you can't turn around backwards and run that way because
I tried and they put me in the penalty box...yes, there's one of those
too. This is where the game gets challenging...pit two teams of
sleep-deprived individuals against each other right after they ran 3
miles for PT and inhaled french toast...I'm never eating french toast
again) against each other on a football field with basketball goals on
either end with hockey-like nets in which you must throw the ball,
without moving your feet. It is quite hilarious...but the funniest part
is the officials. They are all Commissioned Staff who obviously hate
 the
game too...and anytime you break any rule (there are 30 pages of rules)
they blow their whistles and the head official shouts out the
 infraction
with the speed of an auctioneer. Before he is even done the other two
officials are repeating the same infraction, in the same manner so all
of their voices overlap and no one knows what they did wrong because
they can't understand the officials...at which point the other team
 gets
a tech shot because you failed to respond to, "WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A
DIRECTWHATWEHEREISAWHATWEDIRECTINFRACTIONINFRACTIONGRAYTEAMGRAYTEAMTRAVE
LOIAJFOIAJEOIJQ;ORIFJIOFJVNKVKLN!!! Followed by an excrutiating
combination of three whistles of varying pitches being blown in a round
robin-type fashion. Needless to say, I wish I had a video of it to send
to Bob Saget, or what-his-name. 

Hurry Home sis! I miss you!
