Our day was pretty typical in some ways yesterday and in other ways not.
The typical part: Grace and Owen each had a baseball / softball game at the same time on opposite sides of town. (Grace took this picture of Owen last weekend with her new camera, a 9th birthday gift.) We met afterwards for lunch and ice cream. Then Owen and I ran some errands while Michelle and Grace went to Toys-R-Us to buy a splash pool for the back yard - it's been 90F and humid the last few days. Michelle had a "Sex in the City" outing with about 40 women so she was out the door while I did some boat work and the kids played in the pool. The kids and I ordered pizza and watched a movie in the air conditioning.
The not-so-typical part: As the movie ended the tornado alarm was blaring. Turns out a tornado touched down a couple of miles away, fortunately without significant damage. So we just stayed in the basement and watched another movie while the storms passed. The kids were asleep in the basement by the time Michelle got home just in time for a three hour video chat with Angela, Jerry, Jason, and Janice. That was a blast and I hope that becomes more typical.

Sounds like a fun filled busy day with the kids!! The question is, did you have to watch a girl movie or a boy movie?
AND, how did you all talk for 3 hours...I am not a phone talker. Much prefer email. Can't imagine keeping it going for 3 hours!
