(photo: Julia today on the slip & slide...)Today Jedediah had a baseball game from 9am-11am. Then Josiah had a game from 11am-1pm. We spent well over four hours outside in the sun. Did I mention the SUN? What? We actually have some? Yah. Jedediah's game went well. Jed's finally figuring out many different aspects of baseball. He's gotten to where he can hit and field a ball. Fun to watch.
Josiah's team won today. It was a really good game. Third game in a row!!! Today Josiah was off for pitching (he'll be up next Wed.) but he caught two pop flies and got another kid out on a players choice at second. See, even learning the lingo. He also popped one out into centerfield that wasn't caught, letting getting a run batted in. Baseball's been good this year. Two weeks and it'll be officially over.
We did though sit out in the sun, forgetting about our good friend, mr. sunscreen - so all of us have good old fashioned sunburns. Especially Rod & I who sat in sun the whole time. Josiah spent a good portion of time in the dugout. The tagalong gang, all the little brothers & sisters of the players, ran & played and played in another field/dugout. Rod and I are both red. I have sunscreen in my coverup, so my face didn't get burnt. My legs are bright red. You should see Rod's face - he has gooood raccoon eyes :D Reminder to self: pick up sunscreen soon!
Yesterday, I thought the heater was on - come to find out it was the fan. We didn't realize that there was a venelation system with the heater (none of our other homes have had them...) and so in the 80 degree weather for the last couple of days, the house has been kept cool. All because of someone accidentally turning it on - well there's blessing that, that's fer sure. Cough, cough, we've lived here almost 5 years, before this amazing discovery!
For Rod's photography class - which is just about over - he did a series of photos about Josiah - what it is that "makes" Josiah what he is. Will have to post them sometime. Today, Rod worked on his photography final - A Day in the Life of Jedediah. Will be interested to see how those turn out. Also need to post a really cool, I mean, super awesomely cool, set of pictures that Rod learned how to turn into a panaramic (sp?) joined picture. That photoshop is a dandy tool!
This afternoon, the kids played in the slip & slide. That's always a kick to watch. You'll probably see photos on facebook. We put on a movie via netflix & let the kids sit on the couch for awhile - while Rod and I called on repairs.
Items in need of repair - all still under warranty:
Our Xbox 360 with red ring of death
Garrett's xbox 360 with red ring of death
Josiah's Zune - the backlighting isn't working anymore
Jedediah's DS has a broken prong
and our "old" camera, the Sony H7 - the shutter button broke again
(2nd time in for repair over that button!).
We got four of the five called in and shipping labels requested. Still need to call in on Garrett's 360. We've obviously been letting these pile up, it will be nice to have things in working order again.
Tonight Rod, Garrett & I went & saw Terminator. I've been watching the TV series online.. which is a bit different, but along the same lines. T1-T3 have such old graphics - it's painful to watch them. This one was better than I thought it would be!
