Day 21: Spice Girls, Batman, Penn Station

The kids wrapped up their week of VBS this morning and Amy and I wrapped up our week of mornings free with a trip to the library. Below you'll see Anna in a blurry picture taken from across the gym during the VBS closing.

The library visit paid off in a big way. To me, at least.

After checking out a small mountain of stuff for the kids, we went downstairs to the library's weekly sale. I always head straight for the music section at the sale where CDs are a buck each. At only a dollar, I refuse to exercise any sort of self restraint as Amy quickly realized yesterday when she walked around the corner after only a few minutes at the sale: "You found that many already?!"

Yes. Yes, I had.

I know. Two Spice Girls CDs. Shut your face.

It could be worse...I could have seen them live when I was in college.

Wait. Nevermind.

My friend Wayne stopped by this afternoon and we fired up the Nintendo for a few hours. That's right. Two dudes pushing forty spending an afternoon playing RBI Baseball. We did pop in a few other games and I have to admit, Wayne absolutely owned me at Double Dribble. My ultimate goal quickly became losing by less than 40.

I lost by 39.

But it's cool, though. Wayne brought Philly Cheese Steaks from Penn Station. With that goodness making its way through my system, I could have lost by 100 and not cared less.

The kids were drawing recently and decided they'd all draw their own pictures of Batman. While the girls did a nice job as you can see, I was most impressed by Mason who, at only three, came up with the picture on the right.

The Summer of Tim continues...
