Normal Days and Dinner time

Well it was sort of normal. School....work...hockey practice, piano practice and homework.

Janet takes the boys to the rink and I meet them there on Tues. Thurs...and some Fridays....oh and just to make sure we don't have a quiet night they are starting swim lessons in a week.
We can honestly say the boys don't have a lot of down time. Nor does mom and dad.

But I have noticed that the routine of school and after school activities has really helped the boys settle down. Usually dinner time is a chore to get through as all of us are restless after long days...or the food is not someones favorite. Don't you love the line "how many bites do I have to take?".

Well for the past two weeks I can say that dinner time has been a joy. It has not mattered what the menu has been the boys have eaten with only small mutterings of resistance and the conversation has been great. We have actually gotten to hear about each other's busy days rather than putting on the black and white jersey.

We are all so busy that is has become normal and I guess that is the pace of life these days. But it seems to be working so we will keep it up.

Oh .... and of course we always look forward to Wednesdays...maragrita night.

Later all.
