The Legends game was fun even though they lost. Adam really enjoyed the play area they had for kids. He especialy enjoyed the slide. He was there for several innings. He of course ate popcorn and liked all the music.

We did have a slight problem while parking at the game. Bucky went to put the black van in reverse and he lost his power steering. To make a long story short, Tony brought up a rental van and Ernie Brumley came up to tow the van home. I hated that they had to come, but what's a group to do? The green van, which I was driving, did fine. It was midnight when we got home. We may be sleepy today!

He had a good time with Deana and LeeAnn yesterday during the day. Deana picked him up at JCC around 9 and then about 9;30 or so, the two of them came over to the Board where I was. They had been playing on Jamestown Elementary's playground and he was wringing wet. His hair was soaked and his face was red as a beet--his trademark look. They stopped in to get a drink of water. They did all kinds of things including a tractor ride and lunch at Sonic.

Tonight we'll go over to Somerset to see Aunt Margaret and Mom and Dad. Aunt Kim is coming too. Mom, Dad, and Margaret are leaving for their annual trip to Gatlinburg tomorrow. I think Kim will come here at some point.

Better go. Bucky and Adam are now awake. In fact, Adam just pottied in the potty! WooHoo!

Wednesday

Another good day, but it turned out different than I thought. I figured Adam and I would go to the pool today. However, after we played outside for a long time today, it was getting close to lunch and I decided against it. Adam and I played lots of ball today. First t-ball, but then he wanted me to just throw it to him. He even puts the bat out in front of him and gets in a stance just like he sees the men do on TV. He's good and when he would hit the ball, I would dance and scream like a maniac. I think he liked that part more! We threw rocks in our (almost dried up) puddle and blew bubbles too. He took a long nap so I did a few things around here.

I have a Curriculum Alignment Team meeting tomorrow. Adam is going with Deana and LeeAnn. I'm leaving my meeeting early so I can get him and then leave from JCC at 2 to go see the Lexington Legends play with the Quench praise band. It's Bucky's way of saying thank you for all their hard work. I love a good Legends games--they have the best tunes between batters!!

The Amazing Race was fun tonight. MaryBeth, Mindi, Sharon, and I were site supervisors at the church. The kids had to make brownies. While they traveled on the rest of the race, we baked them and then they had to come back to the church to wrap them up and take them to the staff at the nursing home. Some of the batches turned out good...some didn't. I guess you can make some measuring mistakes when you're in a hurry. By mistake I gave one team a clue that I shouldn't have. I had to take off like a wildwoman screaming, "Luanne!" at the top of my lungs. I didn't catch her until she was at Ralph Roy Realty. Yes, it was a scene, and Sharon was laughing so hard. Wonder how many calories I burned?

Better go. It's late and Adam is eating scrambled eggs. What a snack! Bucky will be home late and we'll probably be up when he gets home. We'll do bath in a little bit.

Oh, another thing. Mindi found a frog outside tonight. She showed Henry and Adam. Adam thought it was too cool! Later while they were playing in the gym Adam brought me a big, dead bug. Thanks! I had him put it on the table. Near the end of the night Mindi said, "You know who would like that bug? That frog!' So they took it out to the frog but it had already "gone night night" according to Adam. I told him it would be a good breakfast for him. He agreed.

We got to see the goats! Tonight when as we were leaving the meeting, Nona said she was going out to the farm and invited us to come. We took her up on it and Megan came too! The goats were too cute--all sizes and colors! The cutest one was Lou, the baby that was born the day that Adam got to see the goats for the first time. Nona has them all named--Darby, Sarah, Bucky, Millie, among others. Adam had a blast. He got to hold the baby goat. The funniest was how crazy the goats are about tree leaves. Nona and Bucky would hold the limbs down and the goats would do anything to get them.
Among the goats, there were also cats and a dog named Bandit there. We will for sure go back to visit!
Adam and I went to Campbellsville today. We picked up shirts for Amazing Race. We went to WalMart to get his "potty toy" and I exchanged something at Goody's. Adam napped some on the way home, but was up when we got to church. We ate lunch with Bucky and now we're back home. I'd like for him to nap some since he only got a 1/2 hour or so on the ride, but he seems VERY full of energy this afternoon. He's going to Megan's for a bit tonight while Buck and I to to Journey to Bethlehem planning meeting. It's pretty here, but rained this morning and could rain at any minute.

Adam has used the potty five times in a row. This equals five stickers on his chart and so today he gets a toy! He knows he wants Emily, another train for his track. Big surprise there!

Company

Tonight we hosted a get-together for Bucky's small group. At my best count, there were 26 people here counting us. We had a wonderful time! We did burgers and dogs and the others brought sides and desserts. Very good food! While the group met and studied, Pam, Joy, and I and the kids were outside. They had the best time playing together. Adam should sleep well tonight! Bucky's at Sonic for SNAC and I've already got the place back in order. Almost time for Adam's bath.

I'm posting two pictures--one of Jack and Adam in the Gator that the Shearer family brought. The other is him driving the Gator into the side of our house. Check out his new outfit--the plaid shorts are awesome! Sylin' and profilin' as we say at our house!

It rained quite a bit this morning. After it rains, Adam and I like to go up where our gravel road meets the blacktop and throw rocks in the puddles. We threw tons of rocks, and Bucky threw some too when he got home from golfing.

We all three took naps this afternoon. We went to the Mexican restaurant in Russell Springs for supper and then to Kroger. We are having Bucky's small group that studied the book of James over tomorrow night and we had to pick up a few things for that and also a couple of items for the pancake breakfast tomorrow morning at church. After our grocery trip we went to Sonic for a sweet treat. We saw a little kitten there and Adam let it have the rest of his ice cream....and it's not like him to share his dessert! I told Bucky we needed a cat (half joking) and he said we would but he'd want it to be social cat and also get along with Callie. We'll see. Anyway, Adam would pester a cat to death probably.

All in all, it's been a great day.
