I did not sleep well last night. Although I went to bed at 11, I didn't fall asleep until at least 1:30, and even then, my sleep was full of dark and disturbing dreams which brought me to wakefulness more than once. Once up and dressed, I started shoveling the few inches of snow that fell. I didn't have long before I had to take the boys to Paradisos in Kenai for pizza and then Nikiski for a pool party with their Cub Scout Pack.
The boys and I spent over an hour in the pool. Rowen spent most of the time practicing kicks and strokes (but rarely at the same time) as part of my efforts to get him to learn to swim. Meanwhile, Connor took multiple turns on the water slide and made a few attempts off the diving board. The most difficult part of the experience was dealing with the cold air after getting out of the warm water.
After getting home, I then helped Alex and Trevor finish shoveling the driveway; Connor immediately headed inside to take a nap, while Rowen watched us from the window inside the warm house. Once that was done, Trevor and I prepared the cabin for our friends' arrival tomorrow. We then took care of some household chores before spending time playing computer games together.
I hope that I have greater energy reserves for the next couple of days as we ring in the new year with our friends. To that end, I'm going to bed.
