day 3229: wherein the chickenpox turns into a trip to the hospital!
about a week into Odin’s Rather Mundane Adventures with Chickenpox, around dinner time he suddenly and very unexpectedly complained of A Very Bad Headache which is Very Unusual for a boy who never gets headaches but not, perhaps so unusual for a boy with chickenpox. but the headache quickly turned from bad to worse and [...]
day 3229: lounging about with the chickenpox, imagining Super Awesome treehouse designs.
while i fiddle around on the deck, odin lounges about with the chickenpox, swinging in a hammock imagining all the Super Awesome things we might be able to design into The World’s Most Awesome Treehouse(s). maybe a slide ( or water slide?! ) that take a steep dive off the deck and a few twists [...]
day 3225: odin has chickenpox! or, hey, why isn’t he vaccinated?
the chickenpox was going around odin’s school and after a few days of wondering why he had a slight heat rash that wouldn’t go away ( in hindsight denial is amazingly powerful ), it turns out he got it. which is actually sort-of good since we were going to vaccinate him if he didn’t come [...]
day 3222: odin felts a spring scene.
i think it’s pretty neat that odin will sometimes voluntarily choose to while away the time with little knitted felting projects. like today, i walk by and ask what he’s working on. “oh, something that reminds me of spring.” a spring scene, indeed! if you look carefully you can see he’s felted together different shades [...]
day 3220: odin turns his trash into treasure.
ever since odin had a yard sale to earn the money to buy a bicycle, each spring when our town has a city yard sale day, he’s eager to part with some of his stuff in exchange for a little money. it’s fun to watch him figure out what he’s willing to part with, decide [...]
day 3186: a few scenes from The Last Open Skate of The Season.
while we’re Beginning of The Neverending Hockey Season in the big city of onalaska, wisconsin, our community ice arena is closing down for the season in our little town of viroqua which means The Last Open Skate of The Season is upon us. what will we do from 6-8pm on saturdays and sundays?! i thought [...]
day 3185: The Beginning of The Neverending Hockey Season.
normally at this time of year, we’re closing out another fun hockey season. the last games are played and the ice is melted at our community arena and we enjoy a few weekends with nothing much to do as the weather warms and spring sets in. but this year, odin has been enjoying hockey so [...]
day 3175: the annual kids versus parents hockey game!
it’s the end of another hockey season, which means it’s time for the annual kids versus parents hockey game! which is really an opportunity for the kids to skate circles around the parents while trying not to crush us too badly. and an opportunity for the parents to try not to crush the kids, literally [...]
day 3164: playing Uno with grandpa and grandma snowdeal!
grandpa and grandma snowdeal drove a long way to watch odin play in his next-to-the-last hockey game of the season and while they hung out they got to play looooooots of Uno which is one of odin’s favorite ways to pass the time. they almost didn’t even notice that he likes to invent rules as [...]
day 3158: odin wins the open skate race. again.
when we’re not sitting watching odin in hockey practice a couple nights a week and not watching him play in hockey games a couple nights a week, we’re at “open skate” with him at the hockey arena for a couple of hours each night on saturday and sundays so he can “relax” on the ice [...]
