Snapshots of Summer - Part 1

Burnsville Waterpark with our Grandma and cousins. Followed by the requisite DQ.

Tootin' My Own Horn

Y Lazyman Triathlon: 6 Weeks - 112 cycle miles, 26.2 run/walk miles, 12.5 row

I did: 160 cycle, 60 run/walk, 13.5 row

This was indeed a "lazyman." I feel like it held me accountable to get to the Y but in reality I didn't do anything I wouldn't have done anyway except for the rowing. Which, as it turns out, I strongly dislike. Obviously. Really going overboard there.

I'm not the type for the real deal. I don't think. But, I can see myself doing something much more challenging. Say, walking across the U.S. (simulated) in a summer. Or something like that. Or possibly getting certified to teach cycle. Eeek. I don't feel "in shape" enough to take that plunge.

I had my husband take pictures of the shirt. He thought 'shirt' meant butt.

See this little man?

He's darling, right? Good thing. Last night:

1:00 am - He's up wanting attention. I lay by him for 15 minutes before tiring of eye jabs and the like. Tell him to go. to. sleep. Go to sleep myself.

1:38 am - Awake to a noise. Check out the boy's room. Cole is missing. Hear a noise from the living room. He had helped himself to a cup and a half gallon of almond milk from the fridge. He has his cup on the couch and is trying to figure out how to get the screw cap off the carton. He has also turned the computer on. For light, maybe? Meanwhile, the fridge door is wide open. I give him a cupful that he downs like he's been wandering in the desert for 30 days. I retrieve his pillow and blanket and firmly put him in the port-a-crib that is in our room for my daycare baby. Go back to sleep.

See this beauty?

Precious, right? Good thing. The night continues:

1:52 am - Avrie starts screaming. Bad dream. I get her a drink and tuck her back in. Go back to sleep myself.

2:12 am - Wake to Avrie climbing in my bed. Too tired to fight it.

sometime after that - Nolan's peeing. Loud enough to wake the entire house. Aside from Cole, Avrie and Evan. Go back to sleep. Again.

The Real Morning - Wake with more wrinkles than yesterday and eye bags big enough they'd need to be checked at the airport.
