Busy Weekend Playing

-

Our weekend was busy, but fun. Char, grandma, and I went shopping in Olympia at the massive Blue Willi's sale. I Purchased a cute long sleeve shirt,and have big plans to get skinny so that next year I can rake in the savings and plump up my closet. They have really cute clothes and very stylish, plus they seem to be very age appropriate for this soon to be 40 year old. I would feel sexy and sophisticated in Ilse Jacobsen's clothes. After shopping (had to drag my four year old from the store;) we drove back to Tacoma and stumbled across a freestyle motocross-show (FSX) in the parking lot of Tacoma Mall. Charlie begged to stop and watch, so we did. Those guys are crazy, and brave. The flips and somersaults were incredible. Our tasty bite at Jimmy Johns concluded the day.

Saturday evening we piled the kids up in the car and headed to Maple Valley Days for a Ben Union concert. The kids love his music as much as we do, and he is rarely in a kid friendly place, so we knew we couldn't miss this concert! We were able to chat and catch up on news with the Mira's, and had a whole hour of awesome tunes to dance and listen too. Charlie danced nearly the whole hour. She is so taken with Ben, and even said, "Mom, Ben is cute, but he's not as cute as Owen." She is incredibly funny. Owen is four, in my mom's daycare, and just as smitten with her as she is with him. I hope this pans out because the Vail's are very wonderful people, and they would be great in-laws;) HEHE. Our kids also entered the largest Maple leaf contest at MVD but someone had already found the Grandaddy of all Maple leaves. Shucks.

Sunday we rested. Took a tiny trip to the local library and watched X-Men with the kids. Love being off with my babies!

Calling All Women

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
