Getting ready to head out the door for the big Police concert tonight- taking advantage of the night out to include dinner in German Village sans kiddos.

Friday night was the carnival at the school. Always a jam packed deal- lots of games, lots of sugar. You get the idea.
I took a break with Cole and his buddy Nate to get some Graeters.

We watched the band play- this is the boys Principal, he rocks.

as you can see I am hopelessly addicted to texture on the pics these days

Afterwards we went to a friends house so the kids could play flash-light tag and we could de-carnivalize

Some of the boys were still pretty pumped up-
Saturday the soccer games were canceled because of rain- yay!
Saturday night Andy took Austin to a Destroyers game.
He was so pumped to meet Mike Vrabel, a former Buckeye that now plays for the Patriots.

who was there with some other former Buckeyes.

The Destroyers all had JHM on their helmets

and did a moment of silence to honor him

The Destroyers lost to Dallas

Blake, Cole and I stayed home and watched a movie, The Water Horse. It was really good, you can see the trailer here

Today was two lacrosse game- of course they were both at the same time so I did a lot of walking back and forth.

Austin’s game

As you can see, Austin’s team wears protection- they are allowed to “check”. Blake’s team won’t do that until next year.
Austin’s team tied. He says he gave another kid a bloody nose, glad I wasn’t there to see that. They play rough. And it’s encouraged. Starting to remind me of hockey.
Blake scored two goals, too bad they were the only two goals his team made, they got creamed. But that’s ok.
Off to clean up before we head out.
I am SOOOO excited to see Elvis Costello, and Sting too but I seriously love Elvis.
I will leave you with my all time favorite Elvis song. Check him out in the video from 1977. He was so young!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!



oh I would love to be going to that concert…
I’m still kicking myself for not buying tickets…
have fun!!!!
I didn’t know you guys had Graeter’s that far north-I think it started down here in Lexington didn’t it??
I used to love their Black Walnut-but I think they’ve quit making it now!!
I believe that Graeters started in Cincy back in the 1800’s.
They spread over Ohio and then eventually branched into Ky. You can read more about their history on their website.
They still have Black Walnut here- I have found that the location in Lexington doesn’t carry all the flavors that they do up here- bummer!
hmmm, I’ve never heard of Black Walnut. But they do have Black Raspberry Chip.
