Tech decks and my son is 87

The newest obsession is here. Tech Decks. Let me re-phrase. The semi-new obsession is back. The boys were really into these finger skateboards sometime last year and now they are back to them. They have spent every cent they have collecting these things and as far as I'm concerned it is money well spent. They have spent hours playing with them and have built ramps out of games and books as well as doing tricks off the outdoor chairs. They are doing '360's', 'ollies' and myriad of other tricks that while they amaze me, I have no idea what they are called.

They have just invited the neighbors over for movies and popcorn and so they are all downstairs having fun. They are 8 and 7 and absolutely darling. Lucas knocks on the front window rather than the door when he wants the boys to come and play.

Sterling got fitted for orthotics today. He's 87. He desperately needs them so we have ordered them and they will be ready next week. Between glasses, braces and orthotics, the kid is falling apart. Poor bugger. I think I'll have to go out tomorrow and get him a cane, Hush Puppies, and a new toothbrush.
