It has been another busy week around here...mostly the routine day to day stuff that keeps your running around crazy but at the end of the day you wonder "WHAT exactly did I do all day??"
The boys had a short school week- just three days of school this week. David had a five day weekend, while Matt had a four day weekend (and yes, David did rub in the fact that he had an extra day off!). The schools combined Veteran's Day with Conferences so it ended up being lots of days off. Mike worked both Saturday and Sunday but had off Monday and Tuesday. A relaxing time, even if it did rain cats and dogs for much of it. When it rains here, it can really come down! Within minutes the water can be rushing down the street in front.
The boys and I stayed close to home due to car troubles, but I did take the boys to go PaintBalling on Sunday.
We woke up to more rain on 
Sunday, but the boys insisted on going any
way since they were meeting friends. The start ended up being delayed over an hour due to the rain and lack of people. Weather ended up clearing for the afternoon and more guys showed up so the kids had a great time.Matt started wrestling practice this week- he has been looking forward to it! He really likes the coach (a woman- can't remember her name as I have only heard it a time or two). This morning (Saturday) they had a three hour practice....Matt came home and crashed on the couch. Of course, getting up and being at practice by 7:45 am may have had something to do with it too!
David is disappointed in the fact that he will probably not be playing Tackle Football this year...and maybe not for the next three years. The only Tackle Football program for the younger kids here is put on by the Air Force and this year they didn't have enough interest to fill the teams...so they canceled to program. This unexpected announcement (made at a parent meeting) was not well received! They are still putting on Flag Football. David agreed to play Flag but is devastated that Tackle Football appears to be out. The only hope is a group of parents trying to put together a Tackle Football "Okinawa Youth League". We signed David up, but it is extremely doubtful they will have enough kids to fill out the teams needed.
One other recent "Happening" around the Payne household...
David attended his first DANCE! He was extremely excited- worried for a week about what to wear even. Since Big Brother attends dances, it was huge for David be able to go to one. Very amusing to listen to the brotherly advice being given before David left. Matt even walked him over...and Mom forgot to take a picture of her handsome man on his way out the door...Anyway, David had a great time, even if he said he didn't dance.
Another noteworthy news item- David made The Honor Roll! For him, this is HUGE!! David is rightfully proud of himself. Three Cheers for David on a job well done.
