Friday Fun

I’m super ready for the weekend!  We have some fun things planned and some nice down time that will likely happen too.  This week has felt more back to normal after the rush of VBS and then Asher’s birthday party.  The little guy is napping right now too so I’m enjoying the quiet from my seat by the window.

We even snuck in a 2 mile run earlier today, which was hot, hot, hot.  I thought about running to the nearby playground but ended up going toward the lake.  I think that ended up being a good choice since I doubt we would have wanted to stay and play in the heat.  Even Boaz was seeking out any shade he could find.  He’s pretty funny when he will run to the other side of the road to run in the shade.  I don’t blame him!

I’ve also been getting better at adding in variety for meals.  Today, we’ve (mostly Asher and I–but Boaz likes to sneak a few bites too) eaten eggs, cottage cheese, blueberries, bananas, cheese sandwiches, Annie’s bunnies, and some milk.  Not bad for a Friday 🙂 We have jicama to make into fries too still!  The jicama has been sitting waiting for us.

So there you have it.  A more “real” blog post rather than my usual book reviews or Asher updates.
