Best Part of the Day - Took kiddos to this huge playground and it was outdoor family fun (but man o man even at 9:30 a.m. it was HOT!)  There were two other little boys for them to play with and some moms for me to commiserate with.  We stayed until 11 and then the kiddos were drug out so I could hit my class at the gym.  They were DRRRTTY.  But what can you do?  

Worst Part of the Day - Quinn spiked a fever this early evening - just lethargic and very warm.  Uh oh - no wonder he was such clinger yesterday.  I'll tell you what - Motrin brought down the fever in literally minutes.  Whoa.

Also the star pupil of the summer session preschool aka Wes ... he smeared his own feces on the ottoman, hit his brother with a drumstick, threw his smoothie on the floor, hid my phone ... need I go on?   Perhaps we should call him Sybil from now on.

Um ... Just Don't Call Child Services On Me - While loading the kiddos into the car this morning - Wes climbed up on the hood and then to the top of the van.  While I was telling him to come on down, Quinn did the same.  So I've got two kids on top of a minivan parked on a driveway.  I glance out to the street and there is a woman with a baby carriage who has stopped, mouth wide open to watch the scene.  But truly I'm not so worried about her - more worried about which ER to go to if this goes bad.  I get Wes to sit down (he was going to launch himself at me from a standing position - yes he was standing on the roof of the van) and grab him and then Quinn does the same.  Oh Jesus Jones - that's no good for the hood (both the car and the 'hood).
