Busy day Saturday...started with a 5k Julie ran with some of the kids. I watched with Dyllan (but I rode there on my bike, pulling him in the trailer -- so that counts for something). The kids were all jazzed because the new boat rentals were free all day -- so we went home and did all the chores and then rode back to do some boating. Jordan and Alan went ahead of us and were already on the water by the time we got there. They were screwing around a bit much and got kicked out, but not before Jordan took an oar to the head. Julie had gone shopping with Dyllan, and wasn't home yet, so while the lifeguard gave him first aid, I rode home to fetch a car. I don't mean to brag, but I got home in just under six mintues -- towing Cassidy in the trailer -- it took me just as long to drive back. Then I took him to urgent care, where they super-glued his face shut.

Father's day was fun, I was king for a day, and sat around while they did everything else (I know what you're thinking -- and no, that's not always typical). I got some cool cards and stuff, but, come to think of it, no gifts. I specifically asked for no gifts, but they always cheat and get me something anyway. This time, nothing. Hmmm. I did get the most awesome dessert ever, some kind of layered angel food cake, pudding, fresh berries thing. It rules.

Hey Ben-
Thanks for stopping by my blog...you are so right, about my blog on steroids! Compared to so many other blogs, mine does seem like a newspaper crammed full of info! Yours has a feeling of "calmness" :D I like how you journal the day and add some adorable pictures. Way cool!

Sounds like a fun day! Isn't urgent care fun? Not really, but essential when you have kids for sure. Sorry your house was damaged, but that is great that FEMA and your insurance cover it!
