A couple videos

Cael decided to wrestle Allen Saturday night. At one point Cael goes over by the door and rolls around. I think he's imitating the wrestlers when they warm up and practice takedowns.

Cael can do a three-point football stance. I swear we didn't teach him this! He started doing it in the store one day, and now he entertains us all. Sorry about the dark videos. I didn't even think about turning on the living room light when the boys were playing because it was getting close to bedtime.

We went to Burwell on Friday. For those of you who don't know where that is...it's cowboy country up in the Sand Hills. We beat several teams that have almost full weight classes. Keep in mind we only have four on the team. Three of our boys went to the championship finals rounds. (1-1st and 2-2nds) The other wrestler on our team got beat out in two matches, but he made his goal of making his opponent bleed! He was rather proud of himself! One of the moms got a great picture of Kyle Dibbern jumping onto Allen after he won his last match to get the gold. It's his first 1st place ever, so we were all excited. I'll put that on once I get it.

Back to school tomorrow (sigh). I just talked to a parent of one of my students. She says it's time for them to go back! A routine will help us all, I think. Thursday we have Thrasher Basement Systems coming to our house to make a huge mess. We have water in our basement, so they're coming to put in a drainage system all around the perimeter of the inside of our basement walls. They'll put drainage systems in our window wells as well. The problem is, they need 5ft. clearance from all exterior walls. Both of our closets are on exterior walls, so we have to take out clothes and all. We'll have to cover vents as well, since cement dust can get everywhere. I think we'll be sleeping on the couch for a while, but in the end, it will be good to have everything dry again. We actually have water down there right now since the snow is melting. We joke that we know that our area got 36 inches of rain last summer because that's what our rain gauge in Cael's room said. We'll be gutting most of the basement drywall because it got wet and is molding at the bottom. Luckily it will be gone soon, so we don't have to breathe it. I have "before" photos. I hope the "after" pictures will come soon! At least we can redo our basement the way we want it. The people who lived here before us were stupid and textured all of the walls. It's such a pain in the butt to paint! It's not even "orange peel" texture. It's more like "Apalachian Mountains" texture. Oh well. Life happens. Hope all is well with everyone!
