Today was a quiet day spend working around the house. I woke up feeling sick, so David made me breakfast in bed, and an hour or so later I was feeling a bit better, so I moved my computer out to the front porch and worked there a bit.

After lunch, I helped David with long division (again, since it's absolutely not sticking in his head at all), and worked until we had to leave for his karate class.

Yesterday David wanted desperately to fly his kite, but it didn't work out, so I promised him a chance to go to the park after supper.

Unfortunately, a friend ended up calling in a panic because she accidentally 'shared' a document containing personal information about her kids on Microsoft SkyDrive (which is apparently a little too easy to do) and needed some coaching to figure out how to unshare (which is apparently nearly impossible to do). So by the time we made it out to the park, it was 8:30pm, and the mosquitoes were out looking for supper.

Still, David got his kite up by himself, with a little coaching, and had some fun with it till 9:30, when the REALLY BIG mosquitoes came to call.

We reeled the kite in very quickly, and sprinted back home while we still had a bit of blood left in our bodies, laughing all the way.

Now we're both itchy as hell, but very glad we took the time to get to the park. It may not have been the most important moment of our lives, but it was fun, and as long as we don't come down with a case of West Nile, we'll look back on the evening as one of the best of the summer.
