Times in the life of Willie - by a guest blogger

Willie says he doesn't have anything to blog about so I decided to take over the reins and share some of his news with you. I guess that as his sister, I have the right to commandeer his bloggie woggie every once in a while.

Right now he is watching some crazy Japanese ninja warrior show where they are going through a wacky obstacle course.

He does have a lot more going on than that though.

Last week Will the Thrill got braces and in spite of the fact that he thinks he looks like a goober and even used the word (gasp!) "Hate" in reference to those braces and some of the people involved in the process, he seems to be settling in to the metal mouth world of teenager-dom. He can still eat, still smile, and I think that they made his voice deeper.

He also started football practice last week and even though he's really tired and missed one day of practice last week due to heat exhaustion, I think it's going well. He is the center - his number is a family favorite #75 and dad is one of the coaches and all is well - no puking and he's not last! Yes! Even if you can never find anything else to strive for...not being last is a good one.

This morning he was babysitter extraordinaire whilst I was on a LONG conference call for work. He kept the monkey entertained and did a great job soaking him with the hose, one of Elliott's favorite past-times.

We also ate chicken fingers from the Arctic Circle for lunch. I blew 13 points on two chicken fingers and about 12 french fries, but it tasted pretty good.

Peace out....
