Wednesday: exercise

There was a fair amount of exercise today.  I went for a walk with Cheryl.  Joshua and I went on a bike ride around the neighborhoods looking for Halloween decorations.  We saw a lot of fall decorations, but only a few Halloween decorations.  I went to karate this evening - although we did a lot of self-defense which isn't very intense.

The rest of the day was only ok.  I got a few chores done, but not as many as I hoped.  The dust bin in the vacuum finally filled up and it took a while to clean it and get all the Lego out.  It took about a year to fill up, so I was rather excited about that.  I was also very ready for my nap by the time I got to it; I feel like I've been more tired lately but it is probably due to the changing seasons or something like that.

Tuesday: Horizon

Two nights ago Ben was late coming to bed.  When this happens, Horizon sometimes joins me first.

Ben always has the sad job of kicking the cat out.  On the night in question I was surprisingly awake and told Ben I would just move my feet a little to make Horizon move.

Ben went to brush his teeth and I didn't move my feet.  Horizon moved anyway.  I didn't see him leave the room, but I didn't see him in the room either.  Ben came to bed and the lights were out.  Two minutes later we heard a pad...pad...pad...thump as Horizon jumped back into the bed.

That conniving cat!  

Monday: construction

 Riley is open!  A week ahead of schedule!!  I had to leave the house and drive eat five times today and I was not looking forward to it, to say the least.  But after dropping the kids off at school in the morning I thought I saw traffic going through the intersection... But it was foggy. 

The second time I needed to leave the one-lane road was blocked by a big truck, so I decided to try an alternate way.  Instead of the alternate way though, I got to go through on the main* way! 

*This is still not my preferred way most of the time, but it isn't a bad alternative.

Sunday

 Hmm, it was an ok Sunday.  There were some boring parts.  There were some normal parts.  We played some games with friends in the evening.  Our game of space base was so close with a score of 44-43-42-41.  I just managed with win with a lucky last roll, but everyone was having lucky rolls at the end.

Saturday: this and that

 Here's a picture of Isaac and his team in their new jerseys.

I realized I don't have many large containers.  I was looking for anything that would work and found the rectangular cuboid drink dispenser.  It fits perfectly! There were a lot of laughs.

Joshua and I biked to the church playground.  I thought it would be a cold, but it actually a lovely day.

Friday: home keeping

I continued working on the basement this morning.  It's still slow, but I am making obvious progress.  I went through the picture frame box and found some nice memories.

Ben and Joshua have the same smile!

I also baked a lot of bread: pizza, sandwich sourdough, normal sourdough, raisin bread

Thursday: evening

I dropped Isaac off at rock climbing and went back to work.  It was a little sad, but I've been a little behind and didn't get caught up over break.  After practice was done Isaac wanted to take this picture for Great-Grandma.

When we got home, Joshua was waiting for us.  He had gotten a huge trophy for sticking with piano for two years. He was rather excited about it.
