Girls' day

Brian is off on a TDY to Cincinnati; Emily is in NYC with her choir; Joel and Noah just left with our neighbors to go see the Giants play the Cardinals in San Francisco. That leaves just Halle and me here for the day. We haven't fully planned our day yet, but know that after church, we want to hit Olive Garden for lunch. With it just being the two of us, we shouldn't have the usual wait for a table as we do when it's 5 or 6 of us.

We might take in a movie, or start one of the jigsaw puzzles we got at Christmastime. As much as the house needs cleaning and laundry needs doing, I want to avoid it unless she has something else she wants to do that doesn't involve me. Today will be her day.

Yesterday was full of "stuff." I had a ladies' breakfast at church at 9, but both boys also had baseball games. Joel's game was at 11:25, which meant I wound up leaving the breakfast early to get us to the fields. Noah's game was at 1. We were at the field from 11am to 3pm. Halle and Joel walked home with the neighbor's older daughter about 45 minutes or so into Noah's game. When all was said and done, I had sunburned arms. Thankfully the redness has faded today. I've got to remember sunblock for next time!
