13 & 67

Today was our 13th anniversary. My how time has flown by! It also happens to be my Dad's 67th birthday. My how time has flown by!

What we did today:

*I woke up early to be at the pool swimming laps by 6:00. I then ran 4 miles.

*Brian took Matt & Adam to Home Depot to buy fertilizer. Then they went over to pick my dad up and bring him to our house. We had a low-key lunch while Brian fertilized.

*Met up with Holly & her kids and took the crew to a trail along a lake to walk. It was hot.

*We needed to cool down and passed by a small cove, so we let the kids get their feet wet. That quickly became letting the kids swim in their clothes. They LOVED it!!

*Got home in time to take Adam to a birthday party. Sat on the deck in the shade and had a bowl of ice cream.

*Put Luke in the car to sleep while I brought Dad home, picked up Taco Bell for supper, and then picked Adam up from his party.

*Brian & Ben hustled out the door to baseball. Soon after I got a call that Ben forgot his cleats. I needed to bring them over to the field about 2 miles away.

*I left Matt and Adam home alone (don't judge me), put Luke in the car, and headed to the field with the cleats. The intersection was all closed off with traffic and squad cars all over the place. Apparently there was a gas leak. I had to park what felt like 2 blocks away and walk with Luke to deliver the cleats. My 5 minute errand became about 15. Fortunately Matt and Adam did just fine.

*Played on the driveway with the 3 boys, ate popsicles, did baths, watched the end of the Home Run Derby with Ben, Brian, and two twin 10-year old baseball buddies who showed up with Ben after his game. I was looking forward to watching TiVo. Maybe another day...

A typical anniversary, I'd say. : )

Happy Birthday, Dad.

I love you, Brian.
