Random views of my week

This was poor Delaney on Tuesday. She had been so pitiful, and I put her on the couch with a sippy cup of water while I went to do something. 20 minutes later I wondered why I hadn't heard her getting into trouble. This was why. It was so sad.


Thursday evening Joshua's school had a reading night. They had fun activities and a hot dog dinner and lots of reading. There were drawings for books and prize baskets- which we did not win. But they gave every kid a free book! Way cool! Here are the kids with their new books, which they LOVE! Joshua got a "Magic Treehouse" book which he is really into. Notice that Marian has a book on Frogs. Callie does have an appropriate kids book. They are so funny and so different!

Today I took the girls to the beach accross the street. I needed pictures for Joshua's book. Thier friend Carol was there too, and they had a marvelous time together- as you can see. I had to hose them off and sent them straight up to the bath when we got home.

The girls all wore their beautiful dresses to church today. They were so cute. Notice Delaney's tadorable little pigtails. She barely has enough hair to do that now. They are all growing up much too fast!

So, It was a busy week, and I can't recall much of interest to metnion here. I did feel inspired yesterday and I made a snap decision. I had driven to the pool to swim and I thought, hmmmm, I could run home and bike back. So I did. 4.5 miles between tht pool and home. Somehow it felt a lot worse while running it. Maybe because I'd never run that way before, or because it was 1pm and hot and sunny. Whatever, it was a yucky run and I'm sorer today than I've been yet. It was also my first run in a swimsuit andmy shoulders were a little constricted with the straps. Maybe that's why my arms are sore.

Did I mention our triathlon is next Saturday? I feel good about the swim and run, but not the bike. I've decided I hate the bike. And the wind. Its not any fun. One week and I can quit the bike.... until the next triathlon! Sorry not to be very interesting today.
