When the clouds parted, homework got done, things were put away and once complete, some fun happened. I played the Wii with G, helped D finish his book report, L&J took Lilly on a walk and G got a nap in. I helped Doc with his gutters and Joe move an old stove off his back porch and then finished up with an extra coat of sealer on the patch at the end of the drive. D&J actually played very nice while I worked...??? Back in and watched some TV until we had to drop D off at youth group and JG&I tried the new McDonald's. L out to eat with the girls tonight. Back home and we had a Wii party and a great time!!! :-) I ran and got D, leaving J&G on the Wii (only took 9 min...). Home and we watched the World Series and all played on our iDevices. All to bed with no resistance...??? Down watching TV and cleaning up my iPad/iPhone.

We had lunch, I cleaned out some more of the black car and then Game Day commenced...

First was G's choice and we played kickball (of course...) Boys vs parents. They won 15 to 7

Second was J's choice and we played flag football. Teams were D&J vs LG&I. It was a tough rough game, but ended in a tie, 21 to 21.

Third was D and he wanted to play baseball, but there are not enough of us so we just played catch for a bit.

All in for some homework and rest. Then it was my turn. I loaded them all up and we headed to the bowling alley for pizza and pins. L was the big winner of the night with a top score of 110!

Home for quick refresh and then Pettit's are coming over tonight to watch a football game and play Risk.

We got to Florentine's, a Columbus landmark, for dinner. It was a good Italian place, but their sauce was a bit sweet for us, except J that ate 3 helpings of spaghetti... Home, boys cleaned up and we all played Rummikub.
