Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

Life goes on! Today was a scheduled "crash day," where we spent some time recovering from the recent onslaught of activity. We cleaned up around the house a bit, and even took a collective nap. The weather was perfect outside, that summer day where the storms came in late afternoon, the rumbling overhead and the drip-drop of rain on the leaves in the trees - which all served to cool things off just perfectly outside.

We had a peculiar "hail storm" today, where there really wasn't any precipitation but one solitary chunk of ice that plummeted down from the heavens and landed on our porch. Surely, more landed elsewhere - and yet this was the only evidence of hail, or anything wet at all outside. Daddy quickly picked it up and showed it to Madison, who was quite impressed that there was ice outside.

Today was basically a "Veg Day," which doesn't describe the diet we had. It describes how active we were today, which was pretty much not at all.

Daddy did make a trip to the grocery store with Madison. We needed hot dogs, because later on, we spent some time testing out the new Grillmaster. As usual, the starter wasn't working (and I haven't even used this thing once), but once the fires got going (by match), the grill got pretty hot - and soon we were snacking on tasty hot dogs and baked beans.

We watched a few movies today, and put some Easter things away, but didn't accomplish much outside of that. No, we've accomplished quite enough lately. Certainly Mommy has done more than enough to deserve a small break.

But soon it'll start up again. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da!
