It was something like 55 degrees at 9:30 this morning, when the girls realized that Teen Titans was a rerun, I convinced them to go outside and play. They were out there until lunchtime, I made them lunch at took it out to them. They seemed to enjoy themselves, but Emma and Ruth enjoyed themselves by emptying all the water out of their toy box out there.
After lunch, Emma and Ruth got baths and went down for naps. They must have been tired out, because they both slept for a long time. Mary went to a birthday party and Ruth went down for a nap, so I had Kate go take a bath and then spend some time amusing herself in her room. Long story short, after the mania that went on while I tried to play Age of Empires this morning, it was a very quiet afternoon here.
At one point, I was lamenting the fact that the BYU- Air Force game wasn't on TV tonight. I don't know why, but the last BYU - Air Force game was not on TV, either. Maybe the Air Force has some government operative on the coaching staff, and they don't want to blow his cover by putting him on TV... Anyhow a little later, the head coaches wife called looking for Tara. (The coaches wife is the Relief Society president here.) She told me how she had promised Tara tickets to a game sometime, and she had a bunch for tonight's game that were still unclaimed by anyone. She asked if we wanted them, I didn't hesitate. (Especially since the younger girls all got good naps..)
The girls were pretty good at the game. They didn't last to the very end, but very nearly the end. Ruth spent much of the time looking around the auditorium for Cosmo. Lily spent part of the time with a popcorn bucket over her head, wearing it like a hat. Air Force got killed.
