Well, we went to the Meyerson's tonight for a fabulous meal (spagetti and salad w/ pineapple weird punch) and then locked the kids into Lexi's room/playroom w/ the babygate and we 4 played Settlers. It's not really child abuse if we're talking to them occasionally and smiling at them, is it? It was a good game full of ups and downs. We talked some smack, did some mean trades, but the harsh reality is that Phil is just better than we are. He won again and continues his reign as Lord of Catan. Now, I must emphasize however that he spent much of the day doing some major strategy research on the internet which was cheating but also ingenious. So, tomorrow during naptime you'll find me doing the same research. Well, probably not. But right now I'm pumped up and want to. During naptime you'll probably find me doing some maintenance on this house. I'm pretty sure Travis will definitely be scouring the web for some helpful hints. I tried to team up w/ him towards the end to beat Phil down, but it was to no avail.
By the way, we've decided Jenny is on the cover w/ the large chest.
So, anywho. That's what we did today.
WE've had several visitors and get togethers that we normally woudln't have b/c of space, and so it's been fun. Wiffle ball is now a way of life, as is catching bugs and throwing the frisbee. Tyler is so awesome on the old swing. He can help Chase into the baby swing and hold both ropes and swing together. That's pretty sweet when it's hot out and I want to watch them play from the air-conditioning.
