Sheep Guarding Llama

Tuesday.  Started the day today with sunny skies and a pretty heavy rain, all at once.

Liesl and Garrett continued played Age of Empires 2 HD online with each other today.  Every so often I hear Liesl screaming “All Hail, King of the Losers!”

I had cheese and crackers for dinner today.

Dominica went out in the rain to go grocery shopping today.

Tonight it was Dominica’s turn to attend Quiz Night with the gang.

Monday.  I, and the kids, were up super early this morning.  I have no idea why I woke up so early.

I had a noon conference call today.

Later in the day, Liesl and Garrett played AoE2 head to head against each other over the Internet.  What a great way for them to hang out.

I spent a while in the office today talking to our realtor in Peekskill about what it will take to sell the house there.  We are totally done with dealing with it and we need to get it sold.  We don’t know what it is going to take, but we have to sell it.

So a lot of our day was focused on the house and selling it.

Sunday.  I played some Age of Empires 2 HD today. And that is all that I recorded about today.  Yup.

Saturday.  Woke up this morning and it is still raining from last night.  But not so heavy that the atrium flooded again.

Dominica made scrambled eggs this morning.

Sean came over today and we got him built with Korora 25 on his laptop.

Luciana played Minecraft today.  Liesl played Don’t Starve.

Sean brought over his Samsung VR rig today and the girls had so much fun playing it.  They set up on the big chair in the living room and gamed for hours.

Sean and I made tater tots for dinner, a huge bowl of them.  It was awesome.  Liesl ran in and stole as many tater tots as she could get from us.

Sean and I watched Teresa tonight to practice our Spanish.

 

Friday.  Jared went to NTG headquarters this morning so that they could all car pool together.  They picked up Jeremy in Geneseo, too.  They are all headed down to New York City for the Mango Meetup at AetherStore today.

The girls got some new video games today on the Steam Summer Sale and I set them up so that they could try some of them out.  Their new games include PixelJunk Shooter, Nom Nom Galaxy, Never Alone, Metamorphabet, Amos from Outer Space, OIK, OIK 2, and they got the working Steam version of Psychonauts as the GOG version that we have does not work.

I also got the SteamLink working today.  So the Steam laptop is able to be in one part of the house and the girls are able to play from their bedroom.

Liesl was very excited to finally get to really play Psychonauts.  She has been wanting to play that since she got to play it at the Grices’ at Christmas time.

Luciana played Metamorphabet, but was not all that into it.

The girls played Never Alone together for a while.

We managed to get Nancy Drew: The Secret of Shadow Ranch today, too.  It is one of the older titles but has been missing from our collection.

The crew arrived in New York City and walked to the AetherStore offices.

The made the kids mac and cheese this evening. Dominica made veggie dogs for us.

Big thunderstorms came tonight.  I did not get to go to bed tonight because of the intense storms.  I had to stay up and make sure that the atrium did not flood and…

Of course the atrium flooded from the storm.  So I got to spend my late night standing out in the pouring rain trying to keep the drains clear so that the water would not rush through the house.  Not a fun night.

And hour later, the Carrollton flood warnings sounded.  A bit late, people.
