An Unusual Lord's Day

It really did start out strange with Mama and I running to the hardware store first thing in the morning to get a new pressure switch for the pump. When we got home, I flopped down on my stomach in the garage (the well and pump are smack dab in the middle of the garage). It's rather an odd sensation to be working over an open hole like that...I did manage not to drop any tools into the well and got the old pressure switch removed and put the new one on (after having a guyser because I forgot to drain the water before I got started). Unfortunately, it didn't fix the problem...the pump still wouldn't turn off. The problem is being explored further today...

After church we went to the B's house for lunch...and a snack...and supper...and glorious fun with the boys! Like I said to William when he noted that whenever his family or ours goes/comes to the other's house, we always stay so late: "You know why? It's because we're like family." It's true, too.

We played "football" and frisbee...some game called Sabatour (it's my impression Joshua really likes being a sabatour), and watched Captain America. I'll be doing a review of that later on Reformed Reviews. And of course, we talked...and talked...and laughed a lot.

Katherine was the main photographer...so I'm afraid there isn't any pictures of her, even though she looked quite nice yesterday. (I ended up looking rather, well, blown and frumpy! :D)

What's this called? Dodge-ball on a string? :D (I honestly can't remember!)

Daniel is really turning into a fine young man...(he looks excellent in red, no?)

Weeelllll.....lookie here! A skate-boarding feline!! (I actually think Pussy was sharpening her claws...)

I think I needed the younger fella's supervision...I'm a slouch at this! (I managed to knock the whole kit and kaboodle off the pole!)

Scout...this puppy comes and flops down on your feet when she wants to be petted. :D

Young William...one of two. ;)

Hey...at least it LOOKS like I can throw a football!!

For some reason I think that was a bad throw....

How's my form? Daniel is a pretty good coach (and managed to even get me to throw the ball with my left hand [since I'm left-eye dominate]) and gave me some pointers about holding and throwing the ball.

He's setting up for a toss....

And there it goes!! (I wonder if I caught that one? I did okay at catching.)

Ah...there's the Lionhearted! (And please, don't ask me why Christopher ran around all afternoon with only one sock on!)

Christopher has a pretty good arm for such a short tyke.

Daniel asked him: "Hey, Christopher, what are those supposed to be--oven mitts?" And Christopher pulled them off and threw them at his brother...the good-natured joshing of these guys puts me in stitches!

I can still get Christopher on my lap--for a few minutes at a time. ;)

Savannah looking lovely...

This one is just classic "Me and the B. Boys"...

I think Mum looks real nice in this picture...don't you? :)

For a large portion of his life, Christopher has enjoyed being wrasled by me--he really doesn't mind hugs (or kisses!) but he like to tease me by pretending he doesn't! (If he really didn't, I wouldn't mess with him...)

The "babies"... :D

I love these guys!!!

And....just for laughs. I have no idea what we were looking at! :D

I sure have missed these guys. Maybe the B's will come see me and Savannah if they get down to Florida anytime soon. 

I look forward to seeing them at the Reformation Day Faire this weekend and showing them off to some of my other friends...(maybe Daniel will win the field during the boffer wars...he's a pretty good hand with a 'sword'.)
