that's right - who do we contact about trying to get our scoresheets?

[TheSilverSurfer]

What they did last year was have you send them $5 and a self addressed envelope and they sent us the sheets.

Don't you want to know why you didn't win---don't you want to improve your car?:p

first day fo high school - he's enjoying it, no problems. he made the soccer team.

the twins - they started kindergarden (sp?) yesterday. those two are crazy little kids. logan came home, told my mom "i have something to tell you, but i don't want to". my mom said it took her like 10 minutes to coax it out of him. i geuss school buses now have emergency buttons on some of the windows that open the windows for excape exits. well i guess on the way home their seat had one of the buttons and he pushed it and bottom window fell out :lol:

then - they all went out to dinner last night to celebrate their first day of school. madison looks up and asks my mom... "mom, do they make pills i can take before i go to bed that will make me smarter"? my mom assumed she was asking because of school and the like. she asked her " why do you need something like that"? madison says... "well, sometimes, when we're eating dinner... i just don't know what the hell you people are talking about." :spit:

the twins are 5... attached is a pic of them (the 2 outside ones). the little guy in the middle is one of my cousins.

[TheSilverSurfer]

The twins are awsome. Glad your brother made the team.

I have bowling tryouts this morning for my high school team.
That's always a hoot. A lot of former team members come back to watch, they want to watch the kids who sign up and really can't bowl very well. It's kind of a sick thing---but traditional. This is my last year of doing this. 23 years of Saturday mornings is enough.

[ZeusJr]

Saturday mornings = :zzz:

:lol: I wish, to bad I'm at work right now... :o

All my returning bowlers from last year showed up. I only had to pick up 2 more and I did. I will have a Varsity & a JV team.:woot:

[smiley]

can you smoke in bowling alleys up there? have you guys had any smoking bans yet?

[TheSilverSurfer]

They had places you had to go to smoke ,but I don't know if its in force this year.

Parents of the h.s. kids have to go back in the lounge to smoke during the league.
