So far......

...so good. It was a tough start to the holiday weekend, in that I had to head into the office for a bit on Friday morning (we were open 9 to 1). But by the time I left, the sun was out for a little while:



Buuuuut, then it rained again. And rained. We had some friends over in the hopes that we'd go from dinner to the kickoff to the Cochecho Arts Festival. Once the concert was moved inside the high school because of the weather, though, it sort of lost its appeal. We had yummy meat from the smoker, broccoli salad and a few beers...and later, ice cream...and the girls rode bikes in the now-drizzle.


Lots of fun, despite the lack of cooperation from the weather.

And another thing.....

It occurs to me that I have been knitting away but have taken no pictures of it lately. Hmm. Maybe later this week, pictures of projects.

Pete's watching the second season of Weeds and I think I will join him, with the aforementioned knitting.

The Last Days of Teeball

In typical slacker-parent fashion, we opted out of the last practice this week (eh, it was at 5 instead of the usual 6 pm, and honestly we are still at work/leaving work at that point!). Pete had a commitment he couldn't get out of, so it was just me for the last game on Saturday. It was mercifully not at 8:00.

Sitting the bench, signing cards for Coach
Coach and Ella (his daughter). "Don't tell me how to hold the bat, DAD!"
That's better.
Run, Charlotte, run! And she did.
Fielding. Approximately 90 seconds later, she insisted on visiting the porta-potties.
Game called on account of everyone-is-hot-and-tired. Or something. Team photo!
And a trophy.
Whatever shall we do with our Saturday mornings now? In the fall there will be dance lessons or yoga....but for now I think we will power down into summer mode. I see a chair under the maple and many cups of coffee with my name on them.....now if only the sun would come out!

Rye

We spent last Saturday afternoon and night in Rye with the Warrs...beach, barbecue, a bit of boozing...good times as always.

Medicine

This is Friday night, and it's exactly what I needed:

I'll take pictures of you, you take pictures of me.



Dinner at the picnic table again!

Puttering around


Brewery Ommegang's Hennepin. In a Schlitz glass.
Where I been at? Wellllll....

My boss decided to go on vacation. This is what I would like to send him, if everything were not blocked by our firewall (aka Big Brother).
("Homer Alone". Marge goes to Rancho Relaxo....and all hell breaks loose. "Never leave again! Never leave again!")

But the week is over. And I resisted drowning my blackberry only because then the beer might not taste the same.

Tomorrow: the final curtain falls on teeball, and whatever I decide I feel like doing (directly related to how much sleep I get!).

A Fathers' Day list

My dad is 12 inches tall.
He weighs 30.
He has blue eyes and brown hair.
He likes to eat pizza.
My dad's favorite thing to do is be with me.
I love my dad because he hugs me everyday.
