At last, we have a trap and David and I watched the Video  "How To Get Your Mole"  --   They demonstrated how to set all the major model traps and showed fresh caught moles.  Very furry, BTW.  I had read earlier they were the size of chipmunks, but the ones in the video looked more like large hamsters.   The weather today is gorgeous!   I went outside earlier followed the tape directions and found a fresh mound, dug down and applied a trap.  It looks like two sets of scissors  - one on either end, so no matter which direction the mole is coming from, he should be a goner.   I think I'll make David check the trap, though  --  I don't enjoy dead furry animals much.    J just had her tennis camp this past week and did fairly well.  To get better, she needs more practice.  R and B started their T-ball/baseball leagues last week with the YMCA and their coaches are so nice.  B should probably be in the next league down, but there was not room, but he's a good sport and his coach is great.  Next week we head out to VA. 

Having a nice weekend here.  Benjamin did his jog-a-thon fund raiser at school, and I even joined in for several of  the laps, as did Rose.  In her dress shoes and velour dress she ran the whole time with the kindergartners, then proceeded to run with the first and second graders as well.  Her motivation?  Well, after the initial couple laps it was the occasional promise of a ride in a wheelbarrow decorated with pink feathers around the track  --  a provision for the younger grades who were tiring.  For every series of 20 laps they were allowed to take two of them as wheelbarrow passengers.  After the jog-a-thon Benjamin ducked out to attend T-Ball practice, then back to school for the school-wide barbecue and staff/parent baseball game.  The kids and I played four square instead, and Rose attempted to fly and fortunately ending up completely unhurt despite a fall of 10 feet.  Her intended goal was to slide down a pole, but she missed -- that after skinning both knees.  She slept fairly well last night.

The kids are doing crafts today --  a paint by numbers seashore scene for the two older.  For Rose we pulled out a sand art set, a sticker surface with built in stencils.  She did a pretty good job finishing the scene. 

Oh, and the title phrase.  We did get our refund direct deposited the other day.  No sign of any stimulus check, but not really holding my breath.
