Good days
Yesterday I spent the whole day doing whatever Jake wanted (with some direction and limitations). Since I had spent all of Thursday working on an epic Ruggle and the boys were good at entertaining themselves I said that we'd have a day focusing on them.
We started out playing games on the computer, jumping on the beds and generally being silly around the house. Then we dropped by the Kia dealership to drop off the repair estimate and getting them starting on ordering parts. After that we went to a local park playground and had a blast. I met a professional bodybuilder who was quite impressive. She was there with her two year old and was quite nice, if rather chatty. Before long I knew that she was a recovering addict and alcoholic. (Why does that always happen to me?)
We spent a good two hours there and just as we were getting ready to leave Jake fell and scraped his knee and hand pretty good. He's super reactive to that sort of thing and screamed for me to do something and fix it pretty much the whole way home. Meanwhile Erik fell asleep. LOL
Spent some time cleaning him up and applying multiple bandaids and it was all better. Had some lunch and some quiet time while Erik napped. Then we played some more, had dinner and went to the pool to end our day with a couple of hours of swimming.
Days like that are nice and point out how Jake does better with a lot of attention. I've made a concerted effort to get us outside more this summer, for all our sakes.
Speaking of, I've lost 2 pounds! The combination of My Fitness Pal and the Fitbit are really working for me. Plus I'm super motivated this time around. I want my rewards!
Today should be another good day. We're going to a couple of local outdoor stores that were recommended by archers and I'm going to get fitted for a bow! (Fitted? Paired with? I dunno.) Jason's getting me a bow for my birthday, which is a long way off still but I want to go and see what the experts recommend. I've always been interested in bows, crossbows and archery and I can't wait.

I don't even want to venture outside in this weather. Too hot and muggy. Ugh.
Oh, and I loved the turtle - awesome job with all those pieces!

It was overcast and raining off an on all week but I dutifully walked while Jake was in swim class. I was one big sweat ball when I was done, but I did feel better for having done it. I'm glad it's dried up and sunny in time for the weekend. If I didn't go outside when it was hot and muggy, I'd be indoors more than half the year. Living in the South = Living in a Frog Pond March - October.
Thanks! I'm not a quilter (as I look guiltily in the direction of my unfinished wedding quilt) but it wasn't as hard as I imagined it would be. Just lots of time and thread. Jason said I should enter it into a quilt show. Then he told me he wants a duck with individual pieced feathers. To which I responded he'd have to pay me for that. LOL

I just placed an order for the wristband, though--6 week wait. Hopefully I will do better with not losing or washing that one!
