Being out sick means that I sleep normal hours and so we go to Church at the normal time but I don’t need to rush home to attempt to sleep the day away for work that night. I usually get in a nap. Allison went to meet her friend for coffee and that meant that I could take the kids out for breakfast. We have enjoyed KC’s Classic Burger Bar for breakfast before and so we did it again. These lucky ducks got to sit at the counter and order whatever they wanted. Andrew ordered a huge thing of Funky Monkey pancakes. He had one of them and then decided that he did not like the combination. But, he went full gusto into it at first.
Andrew had a bowling birthday party today. I am home sick for a few days but was able to suck it up for a couple of hours and take him to the party. I knew it was going to be loud and chaotic so I gave Allison a break. The party was a nice one. It was for the boys in Andrew’s class. So, it was a bunch of hyped up little guys each trying to outmatch each other. Lots of posturing and trying to get the best or funniest or whatever. It is good that I went because I see what sort of kid Andrew is and makes me proud that he is out in the world.
He ended up winning the entire thing, too. Not that anyone was really keeping score. But he nearly broke 100 (98) and he was the closest by far.
