A Day Off

All four of us were home today, for the whole day! This almost never happens since The Wife has gone back to work after maternity leave.


Spent some time running errands, but also grabbed some lunch and headed for the local goose park with playground, which was great fun for all. The Boyo ate his whole lunch quickly so that he could go play on the playground. He spent much of the time reenacting the scene from Evan Almighty where the main character is imploring people to get on the Ark. So imagine if you will, our little man standing at the top of the play structure, leaning out over the slide, arms spread wide to the heavens, and yelling at the top of his lungs to all the passers by...


"PEOPLE! GET ON THE SHIP! GET ON THE SHIP NOW! YOU MUST HURRY! SAVE YOURSELVES! GET ON THE SHIP!!!"


I was holding the Sweet Pea at the time, else I would have gone with him. The passers by smiled and giggled a little, much to mini-Noah/Evan's dismay. But it was very charming.


He again was VERY supportive of the other kids and their attempts at climbing/sliding/running and such. And we all had a good time feeding the friendly "gooses".


After bedtime, The Wife and I watched Hillary speak at the DNC in Denver via our fortified computer. She did a fine job. Now if those pesky Hill-or-Nobody folks will listen to her, Obama might stand a pretty good chance.


Garbage day today, and I have yet to run this weeks deposits and recycling down to the curb, so I'll cut this short. Have a grand day tomorrow and enjoy the weather while it's nice. Judging by the way Mom Nature has been treating us so far, we might have snow by September.


More Later
