Today was a busy one again. I had most of the day off work, but I had a lot of stuff to do around the house. There was a heap of mowing, weed whacking and trimming. At one point I had to cut a bunch of branches of a big tree half way up the driveway. I figured that I would take the farm truck and back it up under the tree. Then I could stand on the tray at the back ad cut down the limbs that I needed to. Unfortunately, it was too high, even after I stood on the unsteady edges of the tray. As you can tell, this wasn't going to end well and it didn't. I decide to climb the tree and gut from there. No, I wasn't so stupid as to cut myself out of the tree but after I got up this easily climbable tree, I discovered that it wasn't so easy to keep your balance while using a hand saw. I fell out. Of Course I fell out. The good news is that the branch I was trying to cut broke, so at least I achieved something.
After school was out, Levi and I went to Go Wild and played there for a couple of hours with a bunch of his friends. They shut the place for a half an hour aft 5pm to clean it and get organized and we left and went to Nino's place for Teresa's birthday. Levi was happy because Robbie was there and it is just such a lovely thing to watch them together. Robbie is so much older than Levi but loves him dearly. I think if Levi had been his real brother he would have quickly tired of him and the relationship would be very different. At one point Levi was walking in the house with Robbie's little protective arm around him. No wonder Levi loves him so much.
It was about 9pm when we left there, only 2 hours post bed time. Levi was already trashed! About 5 minutes into the car trip he fell asleep in that 'I'm completely gone' sleep of the incredibly tired child. Adults never have that look even when they too are completely exhausted. Look at that sweet thing. I hope he sleeps in!!
