Nothing New

NOTHING NEW HAS BEEN GOING ON!!!! This week has been pretty boring. Except for Monday night. I went and watched Big Son race at a track that I haven't been to before. He has gone with Husband and races against 17-40 year old's. He is the youngest in the class by 1 1/2 years and KILLS. I was so proud of him. Usually when we go to a race, I have to pitch in and help either change stuff on the go-karts or help the boys get ready. Getting ready entails lifting a go kart (anywhere from 190 lbs to 225 lbs.) getting them buckled with helmets and starting the engine. Or changing the setup (gears, tires, etc.). Monday, it was purely for my pleasure. After the first hour of helping getting ready, the rest of the night I got to be a MOM and watch. I was SO PROUD OF MY SON!!! He started his heat race 14th and 2 laps into it he was winning. In the feature he started 4th and ended up finishing 2nd. He was racing against people older, and who have raced not only at this track every week, but on a whole longer. My 14 year old had 25 year old's coming up to him and asking advise on how to set up the kart or how to drive the track. After the feature, it took me awhile to reach him because other drivers in his class and spectators were congratulating him. HE made ME proud because of his maturity and his ability to keep his success to a minimum. GO BIG SON!!

Besides that, we have been home. Little Son and I have started playing the game Risk. To anyone who wants something to do at night for an hour or two instead of watching TV, get this game. Little Son and I have played over the course of 3 days about 6 hours and are no way close to being done. It is fun. A strategy game that you need to walk away from, but keep set up so you can pick up where you left off. Great game.

Tomorrow Little Son and I are hitting a water park, Big Son is going to his friend's "ESTATE" I'm going to sneak pictures because nobody will believe me when I try to explain this kid's house. From the main road to the actual house has to be 2 miles. The property has 6 houses and is in 2 states. Their family is the biggest land owner in Westchester County. The family leaves Sunday for a safari in Africa and won't be home for 2 months. Big Son said the indoor pool has buttons to push to make the roof collapse and also 3 walls. There is also a button for a slide to come out of the wall. There is also a "private" beach on the property. Saturday the 4 of us our going to Jones Beach. We may even make a weekend of it and stay over.
