Summer Windup

I always start the summer with all these plans and goals.  I don't usually reach them. This year I put together a little tin with ideas to beat boredom with two toddlers.  I'm not sure where that tin is right now.  I haven't touched other than to move it once or twice.  We did do some of the things: play with dried beans, paper plate maracas, play with balloons, fingerpaint, peanut butter play dough, regular play dough, painting, go to parks, and bubbles. 

I did get more active, but I also cooked more.  So, I'm back up a bit weight-wise.  Sigh.  Fenrir and I are taking more walks.  He makes me feel guilty if I don't.  We joined the pool and went a lot during the really hot days.  The girls learned to climb more on the playground.  It makes me really proud and really scared to see them bravely explore their world.

The one thing I really got from this summer was that we did things together.  The girls and I went to visit family and parks, we played in town, we swam, and we cooked.  We did a lot together and the housework and chores will be waiting as always.  I don't feel like I wasted it away like some summers in the past.
