Things that have nothing to do with each other.

*** I thought I would have so much free time now that the littlest 2 are in Mother's Day Out 2 days a week. Alas, I am just as busy and have not actually done much for myself, I've only gotten to do stuff All By Myself. Today I went running (okay, that was for me!) and to the commissary. By the time I got dinner in the crock pot, it was time to get the girls. Tuesday I had a doctor's appointment so I could get a referral to an allergist. That took forever. Then I went to visit Callie at school and hung out with her during PE. That may be a whole story in itself. I'll just say it was fun and she was delighted.

Here's Callie learning to do 3 man drills with a basketball. I, personally, think Recess would be more beneficial than PE, but they get PE and not recess.

*** Running- I have signed up to do the Boring Runners "Freeze Your Thorns Off" virtual 5k. If you like to run or want an excuse to run, check out theboringrunner.com and sign on to do his 5k. And enjoy his blog. As for my actual running, the weather has been so warm. As in almost 80 degrees of warm. It is also quite muggy. I do not like these things. It is killing my running. After a chat with the doctor on Tuesday, she said I probably am susceptible to heat stroke and that is why I end up with headaches when I run in the heat. That stinks. What am I going to do this summer?!!

*** Delaney likes to say she is going to Preschool. She is quite excited about it. Rylee is less enthusiastic. She wanted to go right up until she could. When we pulled into the parking lot this morning she started hollering "No Pee-Coo!" I dropped her off and ran away and she was just fine. Delaney loves going. She is such a social kid. Its awesome!

Here's Delaney, playing outside when I went to pick her up from "preschool". Such a great kid!

*** Our house is small. Squeezing 7 people into is isn't the problem. The problem is all our STUFF! The trouble is, if I get rid of something, sure as shooting, I'm going to wish I had it next time we move. So the dilemma is whether I should hold onto something in case we need it, or do I get rid of it and perhaps buy it again in a few years? Sigh. To create a little more space in Callie and Marian's room, I bunked the beds yesterday. It was quite the ordeal because the bunk bed ideal for bunking was the one Delaney was using. So I had to take apart Delaney's bed, then Marian's and Callie's. Then Delaney got a new bed and I bunked the wooden set for Callie and Marian. I do love our wooden bunk beds, but it requires 12 long screws to be screwed in to put it together. Ug. Somehow, that took me nearly the entire school day. But the room is so much more spacious now!

*** Rylee is a hoot. She is talking a lot now. She is so funny when she repeats things back to you and the kids love to give her big words and giggle hysterically at her attempts. Last night she decided she thought it would be great to bump elbows. You know, like a fist bump, but with elbows?! Rylee kept poking me with her elbow so I would bump elbows with her. How can you not laugh?

Rylee climbed into her baby doll's play pen for her nap. See, she has her snuggly blanket and binkey in there with her. I could not stop laughing! Such fun to be the mom!
