Sheep Guarding Llama

Sunday.  I played some more Skyrim this morning.  Then this afternoon Dominica and Rachel were supposed to go out clothes shopping.  This turned into an entire afternoon of Dominica waiting on Rachel until the shops almost closed.  So a huge portion of the day was just sitting waiting to go at any moment.  I managed to game a lot today and the girls hung out doing their own thing playing games or whatever.  They tend to go into their bedroom and play imaginative games with their toys for a lot of the day.

We love how well the two of them play together still.    With the absence of peer pressure from being in a public school they are able to do better play and focus on cognitive growth more than kids often get to do.

Dominica and Rachel ended up going out tonight and I had to be the driver dealing with them till five in the morning.  So going to be super tired tomorrow.

We were not up for long before Dominica declared today to be a video game day!  That never happens.  I guess Liesl having fun with her new Nintendo 3DS made Dominica jealous.  Rachel and Chris went to the local airshow today.  So we had the house to ourselves as the Millers.

I set up Skyrim in the living room and played that for quite a bit today.  The girls found it interesting and ended up hanging out with me and watching it quite a bit.

Dominica played some of “Doctor Who: The Adventure Game” today for family game afternoon.

This evening Dominica went out so I stayed home with the girls and they decided to do their own thing playing their games so I watched some of That 70s Show.  The girls and I ordered in Chinese delivery for dinner.

The girls and I played Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing.

Friday and today is our Blackhawk concert!  So excited.  Rachel is watching the girls tonight so that we can go out.

This morning I went out shopping at GameStop and got a refurbed Nintendo 3DL New XL for Liesl who is ready for the “adult” level gaming system and that means that her old 2DS goes to Luciana.  She is going to be very excited.  Both of them are.

While I was out I stopped at Subway and picked up lunch for the family.

I wrote all day and then this evening Dominica and I drove out to Plano on the early side so that we could make the concert.  The concert is at a small bar venue called Love and War in Texas.

We got to the bar and managed to get a seat nearly right at the stage.  It’s a very small, intimate place.  We ordered dinner and hung out with the people seated at our table for a little bit.  I got habanero fish tacos which was full of actual habaneros so my mouth was numb for much of the evening, but the food was good.

The Blackhawk show was amazing.  Our seats were great and we were so close to them!  Nothing like seeing the at the Rochester War Memorial two decades ago with Nathan.

What an amazing concert, one of the best that I have ever seen.  They really rocked it tonight.  We did not get a chance to meet them, though.  There were too many people trying to do that.

It was not all that late by the time that we got home.  We are so glad that we tracked down this concert.

Thursday.  Tomorrow Dominica and I have our concert date night.  Can’t wait.  We have not seen a concert together in way too long.

Another slow day today.  Lots of writing and posting.  And still way, way behind on SGL updates.  I am doing what I can.  I need to be caught up before we start traveling again in January.  I had a headache much of the day, so was on the quiet side and hid in the office drinking coffee for much of the day.

This fall is pretty news-less for us.  Hanging out at the house, some video games, spending some time with Rachel.  It’s a bit of downtime for us before we do more exciting things in the winter.

This evening Rachel and I drove down to Top Golf in Dallas to go to the local Scale Legion event there.  This is the first one that we have had in the area and I have never been to Top Golf before, either.

The event was pretty good.  Got to do some networking and met some new people.  The venue was cool, I like Top Golf.  Chris showed up later in the evening as well.

It was an early night, only out until about ten.

Wednesday.  My busy day of the week.  So spent the morning working busily at posting and writing.  Not much to report on today.

The day after tomorrow Dominica and I are going out to see one of our all time favourite bands play over in Plano: Blackhawk.  We have not seen them in decades, this is going to be very cool.

Just a normal day today, very low key.  We are enjoying having down time at our house in Carrollton.
