Roaring

Finally my computer has turned on!  It has been working poorly again.  I will have to call my friend again and get it fixed again!  Today was a fun one for Levi.  We had a quiet morning but then I got Levi ready for his trip to the Brisbane Roar grand final.  Levi was going to the first grade soccer and better still, he was going with Sam.  Sam is his twenty year old cousin.  Now he was going with my brother, sister-in-law and some of their other children, but according to Levi he was going with Sam.  The rest of the family wasn't as important to him.  I drove out to drop him off and there was a flock of cockatoos on the road.  I know that Australia does big and bad and really, really poisonous, but it also does spectacular.  The cockatoo might be loud and obnoxious and eat all our pecans before we can get them off the tree, but they are just wonderful to watch!

Levi went along with 50 000 screaming fans and he clapped and cheered along with the best of them.  He loved it.  He said thanks to me by being cranky like you wouldn't believe when he got home.  He was just tired but it was a real effort to get him showered and in bed.  I am now relaxing and thinking how lucky I am that we completed all of his homework before he got so tired.  I am thinking it wasn't a huge surprise.  Three nights in a row of late frenetic nights!  Yep, I surprised he didn't crack way earlier!

We have a great week coming up though.  ANZAC day is on Wednesday so really, we have two, two day weeks coming up and a day of rest in between.  I can think of no better thing.  Even in this photo (lovingly provided by Anna), you can see just how tired he really is.

My dentist doesn't work on the weekend but I will give her a call tomorrow.  This tooth needs to come out!  I am ready anytime and the last thing I want is for it to interfere with our trip to USA.
