A walk with my husband, a bike ride, a flat tire, grass seed and a movie

We skipped church this morning.

Sometimes we just need a family day.

Asia and I started the day with walking the dog and a stop at Starbucks. Love being with him. (Asia, not the dog. Although I like her too.)

Then we loaded all our bikes into a friends' truck and drove down to Centennial trail, where we rode and rode and rode. Perfect weather. Perfect scenery. A lovely ride. Until Asia popped a tire. Then it became a lovely walk/ride/wait for Dad to catch up.
We came home and a gal I'm mentoring came over for a walk. We walked. And talked. Good.

Then Asia and I dove into fixing our dead front lawn. Broke up the soil. Added new seed. Worked our little tails off.

And after a shower and dinner, which Savannah helped me make, we're sitting in front of The Guardian.

It was a great day.

I'm tired.
But it's a good tired.
Gotta love a good tired.

    I love bike rides!! Sounds like you had a great time. I also envy you a Starbucks within walking distance! I would be the fittest person ever. [smile] And walking there alone with my hubby would make it even better. Happy week!

    Claire and I skipped church, too, and went and saw Ratatouille with Bob. Sometimes you do just need a family day. :)

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
