Just got done watching the Stars beat the Wings 3-1....which happens to now be the score of the series. After Dallas looked to be in slow motion in game 3 they sure looked good tonight. Let's hope the Flyers have the same result tomorrow night!

We had our end of year den picnic at the Petrella's house tonight. Dylan said it was stupid - he had some trouble dealing with the kids crowding the plate during a kickball game. He was actually speaking up to the kids which is a step in the right direction for him. I let it go for a little but I could see he was getting REALLY frustrated. So I tried to help them understand the concept of a 'batting order'. JT said it was "awesome". Norm told me a story about women at Pocono during a race he went to see which shocked me. More than it was coming from Norm than anything! He's something else - he was pitching during the kickball game and I don't even remember how anymore but somehow he was trying to make a play - I think he was throwing a ball over to third base and he fell flat on his chest. He popped right back up though. Dylan McIntyre, Matthew Stiegerwalt, Ian Reinhard, Jacob Sell, my two guys and of course Nick Petrella were all there.

Tomorrow night I'm going to try to get the pool running. It's still pretty green but I think if I get the filter running it'll help clear it up. I'll shock the heck out of it and do some vacuuming. I'd also like to get some more of the garden planted. Still only have three rows of radish seeds planted. I think by now I should see some sprouts but as of yet - nothing. I used old seed tapes so it's possible they're just not going to work. The seeds the kids planted are doing great and should be planted soon. Also, I bought some zucchini plants from Audrey Wanamaker at work which I should get in the ground tomorrow.

Tomorrow night we have our final pack meeting of the year - the kids are advancing to the next cub scout rank which I think is going to be Bear.

One more thing - Dylan had been asking Christl for awhile to make the supper that had 'white noodles'. We had no idea what he was talking about. Then, the other night she made lasagna and when he saw it he got all excited and said that's what he was talking about. So for the first time in a few nights Dylan ate like a champ. He's going through a stage - hopefully that's all it is - in which he's being very picky about what he likes to eat.

I'm hoping tomorrow is a quiet day at work, I'm going to try to sneak out a little early to get home and do some gardening, etc before going to the pack meeting. Then it'll be time to watch the Flyers and Pens battle it out in game 4. GO FLYERS!
