Monster Trucks...

Last weekend Devon and Lincoln had a guys night out to go see the Monster Truck Nationals. This is something we've talked about taking Devon to for a while now. Last year when they were in town, Lincoln almost took him, but didn't quite get around to doing it. In the end we were relieved because that night a guy was run over and killed at the show. Everyone was buzzing about it and we knew a couple people who were there. It was pretty awful.
So why would we take Devon this year after that? Well, statistics, I guess. What were the odds that it would happen again, at the same arena, a year later? Not likely. So the boys went with another father/son duo we're friends with.



Devon had fun, but apparently those trucks are pretty loud even when you have earplugs in.




They didn't get home until 11pm and Devon was exhausted, but it was a fun male-bonding experience and perhaps a new tradition. Next year maybe Jesse can go too!

Behind Every Great Man Is A Lucky Woman...

Lincoln recently had to travel to Maryland for work. It was only for one night, leaving Sunday and returning late Monday night, but I hate Monday mornings. It's never easy to get the kids moving for school at the end of the weekend. So I was dreading the whole thing, and missing my husband. Imagine my delight when the doorbell rang mid morning on Monday and a gentleman was standing at my door with these:




It was so nice to know my sweet husband was thinking of me and wanted to brighten my day even while he was away.

Thank you,sweetie!
