  We'll, it finally happened. We won a game, but not just won it, but creamed the other team. The game was over because we were beating them 10. Aaron and I had a great double play. Crazy times.

  Trying to be the sporty mom, I went on a bike ride with the kiddos. I ended up breaking the back window on our car. I think they will never come on a bike ride again.

 A visit to the dentist for Hanky. No cavities. The kids and I cooked banana bread together. They are good helpers and the banana bread was delicious.

  An after work run to the farmers market gets the benefit of wine jelly and playground time for Aaron.

I didn't take any photos yesterday. I just forgot. I had work, then played with the kids while Aaron cooked dinner, then grabbed fast food because we didn't have all the ingredients for said dinner, then put the kids to bed, then fell asleep watching home run derby.

  Even if the checkout lady says it is a good idea, don't believe her. Grilled watermelon tastes BAD.

Oh no! I forgot to take any pictures. Here is Aaron playing sudoku. He says he's getting better. I believe him.

  I had a running breakthrough today. Ever since I hurt my ankle I have been running slow. I thought I lost my cardiovascular fitness, but the other day I checked my resting heart rate and it was nice and low. So, what was stopping me? I figured it must be my mind, so today I set out to run a 5k as fast as I could. And you know what? I ran fast. Faster than I have ran in about a year. It felt good. 

Also, Henry has officially finished his baseball season by playing his last game at the All-Star Fanfest. It was pretty cool.

  My mom always did crafts with us and I have started the kids early. They love it! I've been thinking about fabric stenciling for a long time and we finally did it. Like most of my projects, my expectations were higher than reality. I've got to lower my bar!

  We had a great busy day. Henry had invention camp where he creates all the time. We had friends over and played outside. Yet tonight both kids were a crying mess at bedtime. Not the ending I wanted but I guess I can't win at everything.

  The kids are always happy in the morning. Makes it ok to wake up at 6am.

  Work after a holiday weekend always seem long. At least I got to splash in some puddles.

    Kids were getting squirrelly today so brought them to an indoor playground and let them play until they were just laying on the ground. After that they were much better behaved.

 Link strikes again and I feel like a good parent. Also I went to my youngest paternal cousin's wedding. Fun and fun.

Royals

A few days ago

was summer at its best.
 
We ate fresh fruits, vegetables and eggs that I made into strawberry/rhubarb compote, banana bread and lentils with vegeatables. We lived outdoors. Aaron took a run outside; I took a run outside. Henry played in the park, we went to a Royals game and we played on bikes/baseball in the evening.

 
By the time I knew it, it was bedtime for the kids (and then me shortly after).
 

It just was fun
