Best Part of the Day - Boat ride makes the heat seem so very far away.  Went tubing with first Wes on my lap and then Quinn - both loved the tubing but hated the spraying water in their eyes.  Get used to it babes.  Then Erik and his bro each took turns trying to throw the other off the tube and for some reason it made me scream with laughter.  Watching both on them, in turn, fly across with looks of sheer determination cracked me up.  Then we just 'parked' the boat in the middle of the water and swam and swam and swam.  So very cooling and relaxing.

Worst Part of the Day - I took all four boys while Ann, Chris and Erik did some finish up work at their lake house after the boat ride.  At one point I went downstairs and saw that our blind was DESTROYED.  So I gave them all a talking to, tried to find the culprit (I only knew that it was NOT Jack) and then made them all come upstairs as I "could not trust them."  (Please note - no kiddo seemed even phased by my tongue lashing or 'punishment' of watching some Deigo movie on the big screen.)  So the adults came home and I told Chris and Erik to look at the blind ... turns out no human boy did this dastardly deed!  It twas the dog.  Oh and where is the dog?  Turns out he escaped out the yard and some neighbor had him in their backyard.  So Clarence saw were were going on the boat and threw a tantrum, destroyed a blind and then ran away from home.  I already have two preschoolers, Clarence, don't need another one. 

Schadenfreude or Karma or Na Na Na Na Na Moment - Turns out the house we rented (where the landlords seriously screwed us out of some of our security deposit) is STILL NOT RENTED.  So it's going on three and a half months vacant.  It is mean - but can't say there was not some evil laughter going on.  You only get what you give, according to the New Radicals.  Take that Reeves'.  Now I shall think of you no more.
