As I write this, I am at home instead of work. The alternator (we think) on the van finally quit and so Tonya and I are stuck without a vehicle My father-in-law and brother-in-law are working on it while I take care of sick twins at home. This meant that Alex missed her last rehearsal and may be in trouble in choir and that Max and I missed going to the Stars game last night. Sigh.

Have tried to call John about his motorcycle accident, but no one answers the phone.

Max was in a parade with his scout den a couple Saturdays ago. Tonya took pictures, but with her cell, so I don't know when I'll be able to post them. The girls have had a full plate of soccer games. Alex's team lost two that weekend and one last weekend. Michaela's team had to forfeit her two games (including the one against Alex's team) because a handful of parents are too damn stubborn to bring their kids to the games. It is a shame because the girls that have been regular have worked very hard and been great troopers even though they have lost every game.

Sunday the twins and Alex went to a party for the youth at church while the boy went to the something for the younger kids. It appears that everyone had a good time. Tomorrow, should the car get fixed, Tonya might take Alex with her to Commerce. They are having some cool Halloween things there. I suppose I'll be doing the trick or treating thing with the other kids. That is if the car gets fixed. Until then, I plod along...

This weekend both teams are off. We are still trying to schedule a "friendly" between the two teams. Max and I plan to go to the family campout with the scouts, though I have no idea how I am going to feed the two of us since I know nothing about camp cooking. Yee-freakin'-hah!
