the Schrader 5

Thankfully, this week has been very uneventful, so far! Ethan had Cub Scouts again yesterday. He gets home so late. They are normally in bed by 7:45 and on Cub Scout nights he isn't even getting home until nearly 8:30. He then is so grouchy and emotional on Wednesdays. This afternoon we went and swam with the girls at Bobbie's house. That broke up the afternoon nicely. We came home, made dinner, did homework, and played some games. It was then time for desert, books, and bed. Everyone was busy the entire night and there were no major meltdowns! Ethan just started the new Captain Underpants book- number 8. He thinks it is the funniest thing ever. The boys have also been into building forts since early this summer. They saw the new Mega Fort by Cranium and are now begging us non-stop for it! I guess at some point we'll have to break down and get it for them. Fort building certainly keeps them busy. Chris is already in bed. It may be a miracle. It's 8:15 and his normal bedtime is 1:00 or 2:00 am! He took some muscle relaxers for his back which is bothering him and promptly passed out on the living room floor.
