back to normal

Today things were pretty much back to normal. I spent the day at work and then met my family at the karate studio for friday night fight classes. My daughter plays with all the younger siblings while my hubbie and I watch our son practicing his martial arts. He just loves fight night. He loves all the physical parts of karate. And the studio is really more like extended family so we get to socialize with all our friends at the same time. It is a great family. Since my son earned his black belt in November now he gets to take the fight class for black belts too. He really loves this class. He feels so grown up and accomplished. He is such a different kid on the mat now that he has his black belt and is given all the respect a black belt has earned. We are so very proud of him. Anyway, this is a normal day for us. Dinner is obtained on the way home from a local drive-thru. Not great but hot, ready, and we didn't have to make it. This is about all there was time for considering we all want to watch our awesome little martial artist. I prefer not to miss out on our kid's activities. Now everyone is in bed getting much needed rest preparing for a fun saturday at.....you guessed it...the karate studio.
