Waterslides and Baseball upsets

Today was my first day with Lia and Aiden. They'll be here for 5 days while Amber and Smitty are back east for a funeral. They arrived around 11 and we had a quick pancake brunch (and good lord can they put away some pancakes... I felt like Aunt Jamima). Next on the agenda was an hour or so of cartoons (a ploy to gain a few moments peace to check my facebook and blogs). To everyone's delight, Gramma and Papa (and some Popeye's chicken) arrived home around 3 o'clock. Mom took a 5 week vacation back east and we are all glad that she is finally home. After a little Gramma fix it was time for "Rest Time"(a.k.a. "Adult Recovery" time because Auntie is about this - close to passing out right here on the couch) which lasted for an hour and a half or so. We cut that short though and headed down to Janelle's house so they could play with her kids on their big inflatable water slide. They sure had a blast down there and were really fun to watch. (But holy crap what is with the tattling at this age??? If no one is bleeding or requiring immediate medical attention, I really don't care what happened). But anyway, on with the pictures!

Tonight Jake and Dad had softball games so I threw Lia into a quick bath, got her ready for bed then went to grab Aiden only to find him fast asleep in his bed in front of a movie. Rather than wake him (it was already 7:30) I just let him sleep dirty :) He played on the water slide... that counts a little right :) Anyway, I left mom with the sleeping (and almost asleep) kids and met the boys at the ball park to watch their games (they split... lost the first game, won the second)while I listened to the Roadrunners game on my handy little walkman radio.

As for the roadrunner's game, they were down 2-0 til the top of the 7th, where they blew up for 5 runs and led 5-2. The score stayed the same until the bottom of the 9th... with one out. Chico is at the plate, 2 walks led to a 2 RBI double and then a 2 run walk off home run for the win! I HATE when that freakin' happens (to us)!!! I mean OUR team does that to other teams all the time, but it hardly ever happens to us. Crap.
