We got a solar cover for the pool and I went to great lengths to explain to the kids how they would die if they attempted to walk across the water on the cover. That they would be sucked under and wrapped up in the cover and drowned. I wanted to be very specific so they would not test it for accuracy. Later that night Lucky decided to give a demonstration and jumped in the pool. He disappeared and I was frantically trying to find him under the cove to no avail. The kids were screaming, Ginger tripped on the step trying to get over to help, Sarah jumped in to help me, and he finally emerged. i grabbed his head and threw him out. He didn't seem worse for the ware and was very good example for the kids.

Intro

I guess this is as good a time as any to begin my family blog. Where I can write what I need to remember for the annual Christmas letter.
This year is almost gone and I need to bring everything together, but hopefully this will help in years to come.
Katie started Holy Molys today. Xander is riding his bike. He also got rid of most of his cub scout popcorn.
Ginger is not at all amused that I have looked at bass equipment and have a desire to play again.
Mike is down for the weekend for Halloween. Katie went as a goth girl, Xander as a Jedi, Arwin, a sock monkey.
