MLK DAY.....AND A DAY OFF FROM SCHOOL

THE BOYS HAD NO SCHOOL TODAY IN OBSERVANCE OF MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY.
WITH NO RUSH TO GET OUT THE DOOR TODAY, WE ALL SLEPT IN.
WE GOT UP TO SOME YUMMY PANCAKES THAT DADDY SO KINDLY MADE THE BOYS BEFORE HE LEFT FOR WORK TODAY.
AT 11:30 WE HEADED DOWNTOWN TO THE PARADE
THIS TIME IT WAS GAV'S TURN TO MARCH IN A PARADE.
GAVIN JOINED HIS TEACHER, AND SOME OF HIS CLASSMATE FOR A 6 BLOCK MARCH DOWN MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BLVD THROUGH TOWN.
IT WAS AN OPTIONAL MARCH... BUT IN DOING SO HE RAKED IN 20 EXTRA CREDIT POINTS!! WHO COULDN'T USE THOSE WHEN YOU ARE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL RIGHT?????
IT WAS FREEZING OUTSIDE, AND NATURALLY... I TOLD THE BOYS TO PUT HEAVY COATS ON...AND NO ONE WOULD LISTEN! GAVIN WAS IN A HOODED SWEATSHIRT AND KODI A SPRING COAT????????????????
I MIGHT BE THE MOM.. BUT THEIR COMES A TIME WHERE YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER BUT YOU CANT MAKE THEM DRINK....THEY WERE FREEZING..................MAYBE THEY WILL LISTEN TO THEIR MOM NEXT TIME.
GAV MARCHED AND KODI AND I RAN FOR COVER TO THE WARM CAR.
WE HEADED HOME AND HAD LUNCH... THEN BACK OUT THE DOOR AGAIN TO HEAD TO TOWN FOR BOXING.
BEFORE BOXING WE MADE ONE STOP:
TO THE DUCK POND!
THIS IS SOMEWHERE THE BOYS LUVVVVVV TO GO THIS TIME OF YEAR. EVERYTHING ELSE FREEZES SO THE LOCAL DUCKS AND SOME MIGRATERS MAKE THEIR WAS HERE. SO WITH OLD BREAD IN HAND THEY JUMPED OUT AND STARTED FEEDING. IT'S FUNNY TO WATCH BECAUSE THE DUCKS WILL ACTUALLY CHASE THEM FOR BREAD.
I TOOK SOME PICS .....
THE FIRST IS OF THE BEAUTIFUL MALE WOOD DUCK(I TOLD GAVIN IF HE WOULD ONLY GET ONE OF THESE WE WOULD MOUNT IT... BUT SO FAR AFTER TWO YEARS... NO WOOD DUCK)






























THE BOYS RUNNING FROM THE CROWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
