My two oldest have started kickboxing.  Our friend’s Cindy & Dana Morrissey opened “Morrissey Elite Training Center” last week (Grand opening is in May) and the two oldest are enjoying it.  J1 has the agility and J2 has the strength.

When they get home and I ask them how it went J2 always says, “Great, I’m sweaty!” lol

J3, who is not quite old enough to start yet, keeps calling it “Kidboxing“.  As in, “Are the boys going Kidboxing today?” LOL

Kids are so fun!

Our deductible is $500.  Even though we have that money in savings, I was thinking that we might get away with paying less if the bill was under $500 to fix the repairs on our van.

Eric just got an estimate from our local body shop.

::gulp::

The estimate is close to $2000.

Oh my.

Upside: we will only be paying $500 of it.

Well, it turns out you don’t even have to go out to get in an accident.

ugh.

Last night I was going to bed and I heard a big bang.  I thought someone threw something at the house.  Eric heard it too so he went out to check it out.  The house and window was fine so I went back to bed.  About 10 min later he comes in to tell me that he’d called the police because someone had hit the van.  The van that is parked in the driveway.

ugh.

The damage looks minimal and we think it’s driveable (though I won’t drive it today until Eric come home and we take it to our local body shop for an estimate).  The lights still work.  But the back door will not open.

ugh.
