A Nice Evening

It's always nice to have a peaceful evening around here with no outbursts. After John left for work Sean invited me to play Wii Bowling with him and we had a ball. We played three games and had a really good time. The first game we almost tied. I got 125 and Sean got 122. I found a strike spot during the second game and got five strikes in a row. That game I got a 198 and Sean got 148 which is a new high score for him. The third game Sean's arm was getting tired but he wanted to play anyway. He only got a 98 in that one but I got 218. I've never gotten that high of a bowling score either in reality or virtually. It was a lot of fun. Around 8 o'clock Sean wanted to play a board game so we decided to play Shut the Box. We had a lot of fun with that too. He almost shut the box once. All he had left was the 1 and he rolled a 3. That's the closest we've ever come to shutting it. And just to make it even more fun, in the middle of while we were playing we heard the key in the lock and John stopped in for a little bit. He doesn't get to do that much on this new schedule like he did on the old one so it was quite a treat. Now he's gone until the end of his shift which is 4AM tomorrow. I'm just glad the heat in that truck works really, really well because it is cold out there. It's 30 with a windchill of 23. I know that sounds like a heat wave to those of you back east where the nasty weather is but to us it's COLD. That's about all that's going on in our little corner of the world. I hope everybody is having a good week and staying warm and safe.

I love your evening! We have been talking about instituting a no electronics night once a week here...to encourage evenings such as this. We have found that the kids do like activities like games and cards but need to be wrenched away from the computers and television. We will do it, it's just a question of when we will get the energy to do it!

Years ago before Sean was born we used to have Pioneer Night one night a week. No TV or stereo and we even used a lantern we had. It was great. Don't remember how the custom met its demise though. LOL

Lmao! I was just thinking to myself that I DON'T remember writing that message above. And then I realized that it was ANOTHER Karen, lol.

Too funny, Karen! All I can say is that Karens must be nice people because I know four and like them all. The one who posted here is in Rhode Island. I know a Karen in California and one of Sean's friend's mother is a Karen. Then there's you representing our fine neighbor to the north. :)
