Rainy August Day

As the title suggests, it's raining. The plan was to pile into the Jeep and run some errends. The Jeep refusing to work kind of ended those plans. No worries, though, Poppop Tokarski will be over after lunch to work on the Jeep.

Since we have to stay home and going outside isn't an option, I've given the kids a pack of construction paper, a package of brand new markers and a Backyardigans marathon. As the kids have markers, they're strapped into their chairs, unable to escape and decorate the walls. Freelance work is all caught up and the bathrooms desperately need to be cleaned... oh please. Like anyone who knows me would think that I'd clean the bathrooms if I could find ANYTHING else to do...



The kids have recently discovered the joys of corn on the cob. Problem is that we didn't know they'd like corn on the cob, since they refuse to eat anything that might appear to be healthy and/or a vegetable. Because we didn't know this, I only gave Jason two ears of corn to cook for dinner one night. Apparently the corn was quite tasty. Jason and I wouldn't know...

Our niece Amanda recently celebrated her 8th birthday. Nick and Bree gleefully spent the evening with all of their cousins, and their cousin's toys.


It's been a fairly warm August, so Chaos and Mayhem have established a "hot summer day" routine: Get up, watch "Curious George", eat breakfast and then demand to go outside and "play."
Darn. Out of new pictures.

Sigh. Guess I'm cleaning that bathroom after all.
