It appears that my only posts these days are "weekend" on Monday, "TOT" on Tuesday (generally), and a Friday list. I definitely need to improve on that! Unfortunately, these days I do so much that if I blogged anymore it would be taking time away from my family and I do enough of that with my exercise. Blogging takes second fiddle most of the time, and I'm okay with that.
This weekend felt really short because we did so much. I knew that would happen! Friday night we went to Ikea to remedy the whole bunk bed situation. The kid needs to spread out. We decided on everything and then realized the actual bed frame wouldn't fit in the car so we got everything else and then had a picnic at the park for dinner. Ham and cheese sandwiches, chips and watermelon and warm water - who knew it would be so fun? the kids got to play on the playground (H: big fan of slides. S: big fan of sliding down with his arms around his brother).
Saturday Hubs went to get the bed frame (it fit in the car without any of us in it) and the rest of us hit Target to get sheets and odd and ends, and also Hubs' Father's Day gift (Napoleon Dynamite on BluRay... bah, but that's what gift giving is right? You get them what they would want, not what you would want). We spent the rest of the day putting the bed together (translation: Hubby did) and entertaining children (me) and making excellent food (me). Spencer summarily fell off the ladder of the bunk bed the first time he tried it. It was a little scary, and Hubby went to Home Depot and bought rubberized strips to put on the rungs but he got used to it and now he's in love with his bed.
Heard several times on Sunday: Momma, can we go home? I want to go see my bed.
Sunday, Father's day, was spent as we usually do on such holidays: running around visiting other people (not a complaint, just an observation). S and I made blueberry pancakes and sausage for daddy and S got a bit obsessed with the card we gave him ... it played the Superman theme, and he kept opening it "Dun da da dun, da da da da da dun!" We had lunch with my dad and his girlfriend, and then went to my in-laws' house for a few hours to watch the baseball game before heading home.
Where S asked if he could have quiet time so he could see his bed.
I told him he could take it in my bed because his brother was asleep.
He opted out of quiet time.
I ran 4.7 miles tonight. My neighbor opted out, so I just kept going and I did 4.7 in 53.50. I burned 550 miles. And then Hubby went out for BOGO Key Lime milkshakes from Steak N Shake. Ahhh.
Excuse me, he just got home and I need family time. With whipped cream and a cherry on top.
