I was mostly out of it Thursday. Tired, 'cause I'd been up much of the night before with Logan, who had a bit of a fever. Kendric just got over a one-day-fever, so I figured that was that. I kept Logan warm and quietly busy through the day; he seemed fine.
Ben, Mari and Bri rode bikes down the hill to meet Kirby on his way home from work. They didn't know that Kirby had to stay 15 minutes late, so they made it all the way past the Job Corps. Riding around on the pavement, Mari learned from Ben how to ride with no hands.
Bri, sitting in a lawn chair, feet propped on the fire pit, hot dog in hand: "This is the life."
Ben stayed to watch Flushed Away...
Kent and Lois were planning to come over for Kirby's birthday, but Katie is sick... Plan B: I called Gramma and asked if she'd be willing to watch the kids so I could take Kirby Out for his birthday. She was all for that, but...
Last night, I was up with Logan again. He came to my bed asking for a drink of water, and I just let him snuggle in next to me. Then he vomitted. After clearing the sheets, we left Kirby huddled on his side of the bed, and brought a blanket to the couch. He vomitted again. Yippee.
today: Gramma Betty said she didn't mind the sick kids, that I should bring them down anyway. Kirby, Ben and I had Chinese for dinner... We thought we'd go bowling, but both Polson and Ronan had league games... Instead, we played pool:
Ben: 2, Kirby: 1Then, since Valley Club was fairly empty, we stopped there to play shuffleboard:
Two old ladies came over and challenged us to a tournament. I got the feeling they play shuffleboard a lot more often than we do. (hee hee)
Kirby didn't win a single match, but he did have a 5 point puck (hanging halfway off the end of the board). Like I said, the place was fairly empty, but we still came out smelling like a pack of cheap cigarettes. Bleck.Drove home, put kids to bed, and opened a package from Kent. It was a CD with digital copies of old family slides. Quite an appropriate way to end a birthday, I think, looking at childhood pictures.

I am sure that Ben and Kirby "let" the older women win huh? So is Kirby 30 then? Justin will be in April, gettin old I tell ya, gettin old.
I hope for one day, us non smokers will get a bar with no smoking! How cool would that be, play pool and have a drink without killing yourself??? Lets do it lets open one up! We may never see our husbands again, unless we go to the bar but hey, we will be that much healthier right?
um, you can't smoke in any bars in washington.
Wwaaaiiitt.. why is Ben on your date?
Devin had the one day pukies too. Not fun. At least it wasn't in my bed. Sorry.
(to Hav:) There is a sign on the door at the VC: "No designated non-smoking areas." We were warned.
It wasn't a date, more of a birthday party-ish. Ben was the only one who could come with such short notice.
Very fun Gilge pictures!
