Robin had an adventurous first day at camp. She was to spend the morning at the beach volleyball court and then take a bus to the main campus for lunch and afternoon activities. I am SURE I told her this, but she says she didn’t know she was supposed to get on the bus. No…

Today was marginally more exciting than yesterday. I did go pick up the glass pieces from when I went glass blowing a few weeks ago. This is my duck. We also managed to schedule our adventure we had hoped to do yesterday. I’m super excited about it. I knitted a lot and did crossword puzzles…

It was a pretty boring day. We scratched off one of the adventure cards, but we weren’t able to make it happen this weekend. Hoping we can schedule it for another weekend soon. Did go to the gym, though. Also did a lot of knitting, went food shopping, played some Harry Potter, took the dogs…

I completely forgot about this calla lily when I planted my garden this spring. When I saw the leaves coming up a few weeks ago, I was amazed that I hadn’t unearthed it while planting a rose literally on top of it. And tonight I was even more amazed to see that it flowered. It’s…

I set up three Apple Watches today. One for myself (my new one), one for Christina (my old one), and one for Robin, who had to unpair and reset hers since it wasn’t working right. There is something delicious about opening an Apple box. Even their packaging is well designed. Looking forward to tomorrow’s run.

I’ve been trying to get past my frustrations with my lack of progress in running, and I started a new training plan. Turns out the new app isn’t compatible with my current watch (which I purchased more than six years ago). That has thrown the whole plan off from day one. Even though my watch…

Robin very grudgingly gave up her phone and access to her bedroom for a full four hours this evening. She was delightfully bored, which manifested in things like wearing my knitting bag on her head, contorting her body into impossible positions on the couch, and casually licking my arm, pretending to be Pinot. I don’t…

Christina started camp at the Y today. I wasn’t sure how she’d like it, but she came home excited that she was the gagaball queen. I’m so glad she enjoyed it. Now Robin needs something to do.

Christina’s recital was a success. Rosina and Dion came bearing flowers, even for Robin, who they felt deserved them after surviving her long cheer season as well. That was so sweet of them. Now Christina can tear her ballet costume to shreds, and she probably will, too.

Had a pretty productive day. Got in my run (even if it doesn’t count because I forgot to set my watch to track it), did laundry, went food shopping, made a nice dinner and ate it on the patio. In between all that, I managed to do some fun things – beat the first round…

My legs have been killing me since Tuesday’s leg workout, so I skipped this morning’s planned run and instead went for a three-mile walk around the neighborhood. Too many people walk around here. I kept having to say hi and good morning to everyone. Sheesh.

Billy challenged the girls to beat his high score at Block Blast, which to me was an invitation to kick his ass. I suck at all video games, but I’m just good enough at this one to keep hitting start over and over again when I lose. For hours. What a complete waste of time!…

Christina had her dress rehearsal for Sunday’s recital this afternoon. It’s so cool watching Christina grow into her dancing, especially knowing how much she loves it. It was a five-hour long rehearsal, which probably irritated many parents, but this is one of those mom things that I’m thrilled to get to do with Christina. Just…

Robin had her last tumbling practice at Brandon today. She was in a foul mood when we left the house, evidenced in part by her crying in the car when she couldn’t get her shoe on. A different person came home. She was drenched in sweat, smiling, and excited about doing layouts and a cartwheel…

Christina did a little something with her hair today. I think it looks so pretty. I’m not sure how it will hold up in the pool, but I guess we’ll see. And now I guess it’s back to business.
