A day in the summer of the boda clan

Wow! I feel like a racetrack or something with the kids running laps 'round and 'round me right now. I'm almost dizzy. There is no air condition in the house yet, loads of laundry to be folded, tons of outgrown/out of season kid's clothes sitting on the landing to the basement ready to store away, Titus screaming like a girl very close to my ear and the older boys actually behaving themselves (that part isn't so dizzying). Micah is sleeping and I am in my pajamas. Can we say lazy day? 11am and we haven't begun our day yet, but I do have plans. Perhaps we will go to the park today as there is clearly a need to expel some energy!!! I wish I could drop them off at the park for a while and I could get some stuff done here at home, but I think there may be a law against that...too bad.


Ok, we finally made it to the park for half an hour. It was 2:30 by the time we left to go home for naps as I had a few super crabby kids on my hands by then. Who could blame them? I told them we may be able to go again tomorrow, but a lot earlier. I think we could all have a bit more fun then! All I need to do is keep Micah from eating the mulch and it could be close to perfect.

Uncle Phil is in town for a week to take a class at Moody, so we went to grandma and grandpa's house for the day. We went as early as possible so that we could get in some AC as we still haven't got ours installed. UGH!!! The kids just love playing with uncle Phil (poor aunt Shelley is a bit to "round" to visit and play, but we sure missed her!) and boy did they get a lot of play time...from baseball to video games, uncle Phil seemed tireless. Thanks, Phil!!!

Art with Eden

Eden was quite content to cozy up to uncle Phil while he was playing NES with the boys, Contra, I think. She was "drawing" on the etch-a-sketch and was constantly saying, "uncle Phil, look...". Uncle Phil actually looked at Eden's art almost every time. What a great uncle!

Hungry Hungry Hippo

Micah had a rather uneventful day, but was overly excited for grandma to give her some apple sauce. I guess all the main action was outside today. Sorry, baby!

Ty man

As with Levi, we have no idea whether Titus is a lefty or not. He just LOVES balls and sports and swings the bat pretty good for a 2 year old. The down side is that he usually uses the bat like a "light saver".
