Hanging out with the kids

No McChickens yesterday, but didn't weigh myself because I had to be at work early. 

Tuesday at the house, a summer evening.  Nothing really special, just summertime which is nice. 

Yesterday was hot, but the best news in our lives is that Pop now has air conditioning in his house. Yeah!!!!  Yesterday he said how he could not really tell the difference in temperature even though the day before it was 93-degrees. But then, he walked from his air conditioned house to the car and said, "it was really a warm one today". 

Delaney had soccer practice last night.  Once again it was a very slow practice which little bits of running. Andrew and I went down to work on his goal kicks because they had mentioned it to him at practice. The best news so far had been that he was 1 of 2 goalies at practice yesterday. No matter how he played, the coach had to notice that he was one of the two goalies there.  And then today, one of the seniors introduced himself to Andrew and the coach gave Andrew some advice. Maybe the hours of kicking soccer balls will pay off this year. 

We finally played Risk last night with the kids. It actually went pretty well and even Delaney said she had fun.  I am pretty sure the best part was when she got to wipe out all of her brother's armies in North America. Anyway, it was a fun summer evening spent with Dana and the kids.
