This morning Michael took Caleb to his first day of t-ball. One of the little girls that Michaela was friends with in pre-school and actually up until they started first grade was there at the park. Her dad is Caleb's coach. Michael is helping coach again. But, Michaela and I did not go to the park yesterday. We had errands to run.

We did the bank thing. Then, we went to Walmart. Our Wal-mart has a really nice nail salon in it where Michaela and I get pedicures and we did that first before our shopping. Then, we did the shopping we needed to do. We stopped at Blockbuster on the way home, but they didn't have the movie Michaela wanted so she got Marble Mania for the Wii instead. Next stop was Taco Bell and then home so we could all eat.

After lunch Michael went off with his dad to buy what he needed to finish putting in our garden. I got laundry started and the kids were playing Wii for a while before going outside to play. It was so nice most of the day yesterday. Hot, but sunny and so summery.

After I got a couple loads of laundry done and a small nap in, I decided to go out and plant my flowers. I have five outdoor pots (one is a giant tea cup I bought Friday night) that I put flowers in every year. When I got outside I realized I'd not bought enough flowers to fill all my pots. So, Caleb and I went to Lowe's. I only found one flower there I liked so we went to Wal-mart. Yes, sometimes I think that is my second home. I got some more flowers there and then we came home.

I spent the next hour or so getting my f lowers into their pots and putting the pots where I wanted them. Just as I started cleaning up my mess it started sprinkling a little. Not a big deal except by the time the kids and I actually got inside it was POURING down rain and thundering. Michael and all his tools were still outside. So, he got drenched. It was a storm that formed over us because before I went outside there was NOTHING on the radar. So, I helped Michael get his tools dried off and cleaned out the dishwasher. I was a little upset because we had pork chops we were getting ready to grill.

By the time Michael got everything inside and got himself in the shower it had stopped, but there was more rain coming. So, somehow we managed to get the pork chops grilled between storms. The four of us gathered in the living room to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Three of us fell asleep. Michaela is the only one who did not fall asleep in front of the television last night. I guess we were all tired.

Needless to say Michael did not get what he wanted to accomplished finished. Hopefully tomorrow after church he can. They've dropped our chance for rain to about 10% for today instead of 30% which is what we had yesterday.
