Weekend Moments
Despite lots of working for me (12 hours) and Lucas’s case of folliculitis caused by prolonged exposure in the lake last week, we managed to have some lovely moments this weekend.
* early-morning walk by myself
* clay play
* dinner out with Papa and Grandma S for her birthday
* yummy BLT sandwiches made by Ian
* watching Asher dance and sing, “I like my Mom and Dad”
* an evening walk through the neighborhood all together
* finding our first green and brown acorns of the season on the ground
* watching nimble Lucas leaping to and fro across the drainage ditch (and hoping he wouldn’t fall)
* a quick trip to the thrift store for school clothes for Lucas: four pairs of pants (including two lined pairs) and nine shirts (both short and long-sleeved, one sweater, and a hoodie) for $50
* a quick trip to the used book store to recirculate a bunch of old books and find new ones for the whole family: five novels for me and Ian, five or six books for the kids
* playing a new game Asher invented called “shopping,” in which an old computer keyboard became his cash register, and flat Lego pieces were dollars. He’s pretty great about making change.
* a tad of reading Torpedo Juice, by Tim Dorsey and Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
