Strange Things in Life

Why would anyone consistently wear only one sock? Wouldn't that be completely and utterly annoying?Who is so lucky as to live in the town that logged the most snowfall in the last large snowstorm (as reported by CNN)? WE DO!! 20" in 24 hours
Why would clean laundry jump out of the laundry basket? Was it trying to run away?
Who gave birth to this little thing who thinks a swimming suit is appropriate, pretty attire in the dead of winter? Maybe the Christmas socks were the deciding factor. NOTE: Yes, she did wear this in public. Last week she wore a floor-length white flower girl dress to the doctor's office.
Who buys industrial sized groceries? WE DO!! Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Yesterday was a big day!

One little girl turned a big 9-years-old Opening presents with the family.
And one littler boy wrestled in his first wrestling match. He's the blond one wearing black.
He wrestled in the 50lb weight class, and his official record is now 2-1. He won 6-4, lost 1-6, and won with a pin in the first period. He really, really liked the pin.
His biggest hurdles were having to wear underwear (!!) and the singlet. Here I must agree with him. The singlet isn't the most attractive piece of clothing.
He was fascinated with the scoreboard. He loved watched the points get added up and the timer count down. Only my Jonah.
This was his first and last match of the season. I'm not sure why, but I was surprised that the match looked exactly like a high school wrestling match - just with smaller boys. The first weight class was 45lbs, and they even had a heavy weight class. It was really cute, and yet really intense at the same time. This elementary team is open participation and yet it's kinda an invitation-only thing. I'm not sure how it all works. I just know the coaches think Jonah has talent, and they invited him to join the competitive team. This has been a big blessing for my little guy. He seems perfect for this sport, and he needs it in more ways than one.
