Where has clan Daniel gone? What is going on in our world that would prevent me from posting on the blog for weeks at a time? Why are there no new pictures up of all the different activities we have been doing?
The answer is quite simple really, football season. I got to thinking the other day about how much I enjoy updating and sending out this blog and then I realized that it has been weeks since I have been on it. What's going on? Football. Monday night - practice for Bub, tumbling for Sissy. Tuesday night - practice for Bub and Sissy. Thursday night - practice for Bub and Sissy. Saturday - Game day for both! All games are at 1:30 and some are as far away as a 2 hour drive. This envelops your whole day.
Can't do anything before the game because it takes all morning to get everybody rolling, fed, and dressed. If it's an away game it all starts even earlier. By the time you finally get back home it's time to start supper.
Don't get me wrong, we have a lot of fun and everyone really enjoys it. It's just that football right now is all we do. We have 1 more regular season game and then the season is over... except Bubs team looks like it will make the playoffs. Four extra weeks! Oh well, it's what we do and who we are. I just assume that football pics up every week would get pretty old.
On another note, Bub had his 11Th birthday recently. He had an odd request for a present this year. He wanted a ball python. Actually he just wanted a snake, the Mrs. decided that the ball python was the way to go. That brings the total up (for those keeping score) to 2 horses, 3 goats, 10 chickens (who BTW produce 5 to 7 eggs per day), 3 dogs, 2 cats, a turtle, a lizard and a snake.
Sissy and Sister both also really dig the snake. Snakes name by the way is spike.
I really worry about the boy. I mean, really?
