rainy

it's a rainy, dreary Saturday in BG, Ohio.

(1) i am watching cartoons with Kaitie. saturday morning cartoons just feel right no matter how old you are. i really like Handy Manny. (Nash is down for his morning nap, saturday naps seem right too - especially when it's raining, but i never take one)

(2) i washed my tennis shoes in the washing machine for the first time ever. i let them air dry so the dryer wouldn't beat them up. the stains on the top were still there when the dried. my mom asked me if i sprayed them with stain remover before washing them. no. well, round 2 for the shoes i guess.

(3) tuesday is the MLB All-Star game. this is one of my favorite sporting events of the year. i love watching the home run derby monday and seeing the best players in the game compete. my favorite player, Roy Halladay (pitcher for the Blue Jays), made the team and might even start for the American League. He dominated the Yankees last night!

(4) we had new DVD players installed in our van this past week. the ones we got originally had one minor problem . . . the screen kept falling open. yeah, this isn't good when every time it happens the movie stops and starts from the beginning. the kids have been really patient with the process, but the new ones have no sound so i have to take the van back in next week.

(5) our church hired a pastor to families with children. he start aug 1. last night the staff and board met at pastor scott's house for a cook out (bbq ribs & chicken & home made ice cream). we played corn hole and andrew bartholomew and i won 5 games in a row. we were on fire. i am thinking about joining a league! lol.

well, Jo Jo's Circus is on . . . one of my favorites!

peace
