Well, this morning I woke up with a nasty headache. Spent the morning just trying to relax and getting rid of the headache. It finally eased around 2 or so. Here’s hoping I don’t wake up with another one tomorrow!
The ARC
We took the kids swimming at the ARC (Activity and Recreation Center) today. We had free passes for the four of us and it’s a rainy day so we figured it would be a good activity. The kids had a blast and what a fun time! Laura is really swimming well! She’s not afraid at all! We are both thrilled about that! John was just running around and playing in the water. I can’t wait to see him really start swimming!
John flying like Superman
Dollhouse!
I don’t usually go to garage sales. This morning though a subdivision a few miles from us was having their annual garage sale. I figured I would go over there and see if I could get some summer play clothes for the kids. I did get some clothes for the kids, but the big find was a dollhouse and all its accessories for Laura!
She is VERY excited about it and loves it! She even talked to the two older girls from the family that we bought it from. The girls’ mother told me that the dollhouse and accessories originally cost $400. I would never pay that, but I was happy to pay the $50 to put that smile on Laura’s face!
My Daughter is SUCH a Girl!
So, tonight, there was a dead bug in the kids’ bathroom. Laura, who was naked because she was about to get in the tub, came on a full run with arms flailing out of the bathroom screaming, “Dead Bug! Dead Bug! Dead Bug!” So being “Brave Mommy,” I went into the bathroom and picked up the dead bug and flushed it down the toilet. Laura returns to the bathroom, but refuses to sit on the toilet to go potty until AFTER the dead bug is GONE, GONE, GONE! Girls!
Walking
I try to walk 2-3 times per week at Capen Park after work. Today, I took the following picture. It was so beautiful and relaxing!
Passing Skills
Conversation with Laura on the way home from daycare:
- Andy: What did you do on the gymnastics bus today?
- Laura: We played Soccer! First, I practiced kicking and then I worked on my passing skills.
Andy and I look at each other and both say “passing skills?” Then proceed to laugh! Where does she get this stuff?
“Those” Jeans
So this morning while getting ready, I decided to try on “those” jeans. You know those jeans I’m talking about. The ones that we buy just a little too small with the intention of losing enough weight to wear them….but then you never quite do lose that weight?
Well, this morning “those” jeans FIT! I got them on and buttoned! Yes, they are still tight, but I wore them today because I could! Little victories…..little victories…..
