Aching Muscles

This could be a fun post to write... The keyboard I'm using has an "s" that is very tempermental. Doug and James had a little bit of trouble with a cup of coffee yesterday... it spilled all over the computer desk and down into a couple of drawers... and finally onto the floor. When the dust settled, the keyboard didn't work. Doug had to dig this old one out of the attic.

The kids and I just got back from a little bike ride. I am SO out of shape. My muscles were already a bit sore from mowing the yard yesterday. Now, they are even more sore from our little ride. It was awesome to get outside... both yesterday and today. We are all just really enjoying the Spring so far. I know that this summer will be fantastic. There will be tons of outdoor stuff to do. I'm trying to get Doug to start work on a playset for the kids... We have a slide that the neighbors gave us. So, all we need to do is build a frame for some swings and a platform for the slide. Sounds easy enough... of course, when we get done, it will probably have morphed into some big play "castle" or something...

We went shopping this morning and got a few things. Mendi wanted me to go to Pottery Barn Kids and get the quilt and shams for Anzie's "big girl" bed. We did that...then headed to Hobby Lobby to get paints and a few other things. I can NEVER go in there and walk out with just what was on my list. Then we cruised through the pet store and headed home. The kids do so well when we are out shopping or out to eat dinner. I'm not sure what we've done to program them that way... but I am not complaining. I'm very thankful!!

Doug has a four-day work week this week and next week! Can't wait to have a little bit of extra time to spend all together.
