A casual day

After torrential rains again last night I wasn't sure what today would hold but we woke to warm, humid, cloudy skies but no actual falling rain so Sunil and I went down to the Pacers run. We didn't get there early enough to run the 1 mile and had no plans to run the 3 mile but Sunil did do the Jr Sprint which is a 1K. It is the second time that he has done this run. He placed fourth or fifth out of four or five boys in the 8 and under set. He earned a ribbon for finishing and he had fun. He gets upset when he doesn't win a trophy but he hasn't actually tried training yet. Sheela chose to stay home today. Too bad for her there were only two girls in her bracket... she could have walked and still won a trophy.

We spent the bulk of the day playing Legos and painting. When Sid got back home from his errands I ran out to visit a friend who is a new mother and her tiny, newborn daughter, Jordan Elena. The kids invited friend's over to spend the night and watch the fireworks. We thought they might have to cancel them (the rest of the activities: bounce houses, live music, food booths, Frisbee demos, etc) were all cancelled. The rain held off and we watched the show from the park across the street. The fireworks were nice but the kids were much more entertained with the glow sticks they brought out.

It's midnight now and the girl's are still awake. I'd better go scold them.
