Yeah, I saw that too.

Oh, I should change my mower oil too.
And can someone jump the battery in my van today?
I had to take the borrowed car to work. I guess I should buy some jumper cables.

basketball camp and baseball game for Lauren yesterday. Payton was in charge of the sandwich making for dinner during our 15 minutes at home
during the transition. Hockey for dad after bedtime. It was the geezer league, but I still took a slapshot off my big toe that hurt like hell
for ten minutes. Another baseball game tonight. Someone needs to change my mower oil soon. Volunteers?

Merel called around 5:00 PM yesterday... she had taken the kids on a walk to get some ice cream, and some ominous clouds were moving in quickly. On the drive back we were met with so much hail I pulled over under a tree to protect the truck, and the rain came down so fast there was an inch or two of flowing water running down the streets.

5:30 a.m. siren call. I laid in bed wishing someone would stop it until Frankie and Sandy came in the bedroom and it finally sank in that it was the storm siren. We spent about an hour in the basement. Looks nice out now, supposed to be hot and humid, very humid after all the rain.
Frankie chose going to a museum today. Air conditioning, sounds good.

Lounging in Village C on the OK State University campus. Hot & humid...informative teaching conference, though. Went here for dinner.

Hope the kids are behaving for grandma.

Mom you were right. It took about 9 hours. Thanks for the contract number this morning!

Ok. Not much planned for this weekend. It could be fun though...maybe the wave pool. Maybe we go to idlewild? kennywood? sandcastle? or the zoo or kid's museum? OR we can go to the SR pool and "pokemon park" as usual. If you stay we'll make something up.

flight booked to Milwaukee for July 11th weekend. Currently arriving late Friday night, but that may change depending on where I'm at for work that week.

esSO, I am going to stay at your place Thurs night - okay? What is going on this weekend, might stay in town.

July 1st July 1st July 1st

Putting eye drops in kids eyes just stinks. There is nothing good about it - oh except that it clears up the infection.

message from R&B 7:20:46 a.m. 6/16/09
We made it safe and sound. We got in around 9:30 local time (3:30 est) and have been walking around since then. Taking a quick break to check into our hotel and then we're off to cruise the grand canal and check out a venetian art museum.
Take care we love you guys.

I love getting to see everyone's pictures from this weekend. It extends the fun of the weekend. Loved the video too. Can't wait to play it for my friends.
