I am so so glad it is Friday!! I love Fridays--I love knowing we have a
break from all the weekday craziness, even though the weekends are crazy,
it's a different kind of crazy. We vacuumed out the van this
morning--it was nasty! I didn't think people would appreciate the
pizzas I am picking up this afternoon for the school "Dad's Club Campout" being in a dirty van, so that's
what pushed cleaning it out to a high priority!
So I have a super huge nice bathtub and I LOVE baths. So I decided to take a bath after my run-it sounded so nice. Amelia
made a huge mess of herself at breakfast. . . so we bathed together,
rinsing off our grime first of course. It was relaxing and so nice and warm.
Until Amelia tooted. I quickly got out and got her out. I wrapped us
up in new clean towels and started to put on her diaper when I saw she
had a buster brown (that means a smear of . . . poop) on her towel. So I sat her on the toilet to see if
something was going to come out. Nope. I wiped her and put her diaper
on when Jonathan pointed out that two little brown things were sitting
in the bottom of the tub. Yikes!! So I showered off, put the towels in
the dirty clothes, cleaned the poop out of the tub, and so on. A bit of
an adventure for sure!
After doing some chores and cleaning out the van, we packed a lunch and
hopped on our bikes for a little bike ride to a park to have a picnic.
Amelia LOVES the seat I got her on my bike. The seat sits on the bar in
front of me--weeride kangaroo or something like that (got it on
craigslist). It seems a little flimsy, but I really like having her
right there with me so that I can hear her, see her, and whatnot. She
points at things, talks to me and just thoroughly loves the ride! We
played at the park a bit and then headed home. Jonathan did quite
well. We went about 1 mile to the park, so 2 miles total. He got a
little tired a few times, but pressed on.
We have lots going this afternoon and evening (school pizza
dinner/movie/activities-even camping out on the school grounds over
night if you want and having a breakfast in the morning). We are just
going for the evening activities. I really like our school and this
area. It really is such a great place to live. Well I better get on to other things I need to get done!
