firsts: camping

August 11, 2012

we’re camping. good friends of ours who actually have a yard big enough to put a tent in (the mighty, mighty boigs) are throwing a little cookout/camping thing — and sparklet couldn’t be happier.

the early evening was made a little more exciting by a string of thunderstorms that came through right around bedtime, but that didn’t slow the under 6 year old girl demographic who used the extra time to jump on an air mattress for two or three hours.

sparklet didn’t go to bed until well after 10am, but she was asleep before her head hit the pillow.

live(ish): the final weekend

August 11, 2012

we’re getting close to the end — well, at least the rest of the world is. i’m already 40+ hours behind in my coverage, and my TiVo is starting to struggle under the weight of the 8-10 hour episodes that are backing up on the hard drive.

the good news is that if i fast forward through any sport with mean, uninformed, or inane commentary then i should be caught up in no time.

evancparker … sigh. #RhythmicGymnastics #Olympics #TivoDelay
