Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!!

Well it turned out to be a fairly lazy Sunday, we were all a bit worn out, so we slept in (that was not the plan for this guy, but that is covered in another blog). We got out at around 11:00 to go to the Soccer Experience, and Rox went and worked out. Brenna is really getting so much better, she is now not as scared of the ball and really tries to involve herself in the play...she is still unsure of the rules and is often running with the ball in the wrong direction...mostly because the other team will not try to take it from her if she goes that way...the cry on the football pitch that can be heard often is "Brenna, wrong way!!" she is having fun with it though and there is still a strong group of girls her age who like to play and show up every Sunday. Martin really runs a great program and has been a big part of our positive transition to Penang. We will be watching him tonight on ASTRO channel 817 as he does his commentary and analysis of the English Premiere League games. This is a big night in the EPL, it is the night where teams fight to stay up in the big league, and there are a few games on that will decide if they do or not, should be fun to watch! So after the soccer experience, we decided to get some stuff done around here and then get some lunch (late) and then get some groceries. For lunch we ended up at...I hate to say this...McDonald's...I was not willing to eat that crap, but Brenna really wanted McDonald's, and she has not had it since our first day here, so we gave in and figured we would eat something else somewhere else. I know I have said this before, McDonald's....PACKED...I mean it was 3:00pm and it was wall to wall people, 4 registers going and a 5 person line at each register...I was so hungry by the time we finally ate that I did have a chicken sandwich...if anything will get my butt motivated to get back to the running in a big way, eating like crap is the ticket!! Grocery shopping done, back home. Brenna had a small melt down, when she was told no play date with Katie till she finished her homework...we are having some trouble with her thinking that the house is hers to run and that the rules although laid down by mom and dad, are often up for debate, whining, or outright defiance. So we had a little family discussion, laid down some ground rules, and the homework got done. I then helped the boo hang some of the pictures in her room. We had some dinner, home made french bread pizza! yum! now rox and Brenna are watching a movie, while I blog...gotta get to bed so i can hit that 5am wake up and run...Another good day in Penang!! goodnight you all!!
