So my least favorite part of brewing is bottle day, to much planning and organization required. At the end of the day you do end up with the final product so I am happy about that. Today is the first day in 9 months that the house isn't actively making beer (not counting bottle conditioning of course). All this and not able to lift my left are or carry any weight on it is pretty good. A clone of the Stone 12th Anniversary beer, Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout.

We have some bubble lovers and a new bubble maker, a good match actually. It was a bit hot so the fun didn't last too long but we did have a lot of bubbles.

On Saturday we went to Udder Delights (think Baskin Robins but really fresh). It was an outing for Nick's daycare class so we got to visit with his friends, make some Ice cream, tour the kitchen (and get cold in their walk in fridge. Nick had a great time, Adam and Dad were ready to leave to watch the soccer game. Other then a trip to Costco and a dip in the pool we were house bound.

On Sunday we went to Bounce Jungle as I suprised Nick. I said we were going to the Mall to their playground and when I pulled in front of Bounce Jungle Nick was like, "I don't want to go to the Mall, maybe tomorrow. Let's go to my party (he had his party there last year." Everyone had fun but Dad jacked up his shoulder (and Aleve still hasn't made it go away yet). Some Red Brick Pizza and Nick was out (6:30pm for those counting) for the evening. Adam did good the whole day.

And now we wait for tomorrow and swim class and 112F (again)!

Thank goodness for remote start, I can cool the car down by starting the car from my cube, Nice.

Toy Story 3 turned out to be a mixed bag, a decent movie but a scary end that Nick DID NOT like tainted his opinion. Mom and a donut improved his mood and, well, we are up to date. Swimming is imminent as is his brother waking up...

Till next time.

Today was a long (but great) day. It started out early as Mom is in SD for her race, Nick woke up (barely) at 6am so I had to go sleep with him for a few hours. We then got ready for skating which Nick did great (Adam did too btw). Not a lot of great pictures as I was rooting him on and trying to keep Adam from going nuts. After that we had a swim in the pool and then off to the Diamondbacks (they won, that is like a record or something). 9:10 and the boys were worn out, good day. Thanks to Bev for babysitting LB2 during the Dbacks game.
