A Day of Victories

Today was a good day. Katie and Jessica are in Cape Town having a wonderful weekend away. "Didn't you have to work today?" you ask. As a matter of fact I did. The plus side of living life behind electric fence is that the kids can't get out. Mason, Brynley and Evie were in charge today. And everyone's ok. Huge victory #1.

My consolation was that I got to spoil them. So we went to McDonald's. What the heck. Molly crapped and Porter locked himself in the men's room and freaked himself out, but we made it ok. Victory #2.

After that I went to my client's house to watch rugby. He's a nice guy named Martin and he's British. So he had a bunch of South African friends over to watch South Africa vs. England. The kids behaved themselves very well. Everyone there was amazed by the six kids thing and couldn't stop talking about it. They also used some very colorful language to describe their thoughts on my intelligence relative to my wife, since I'm here with six kids and she's in Cape Town. But the kids were awesome and all were impressed. Huge victory #3.

Finally, South Africa beat England. Nay, they utterly crushed them. And England is the reigning champion. This is suddenly getting quite exciting to be in South Africa for the Rugby World Cup. There basically certainly the top seed from their group and look very, very strong. I'm now a huge Bryan Havana fan. He's a wing for the Springboks and is lightning fast. Very fun team to watch.

I've got the gang tomorrow all day long - the ladies come home late tomorrow night. We'll see if we venture out again or if we just chill and try to stay alive.
