Our post-circus recovery day went something like this…
Alan exercising… do you see Eve in there?
Lex and I sewing patches onto his cub scout uniform.
The kids and I being stood up for a cub scout hike. Apparently our den leader hates the rain (WTF?! This is BOY scouts!!) and can’t use the telephone. I was actually cranky this morning leading up to the hike because it was drizzly and I couldn’t get ahold of him to confirm if the hike was still happening. I’m learning about myself, in my old age, that I get cranky if I don’t have a plan for the day. So we went and apparently everyone BUT us got the cancellation message. Sigh.
We hung out anyway. Wading in the water…
… throwing rocks…
… and getting soaked! By the time we left we were all feeling happy and relaxed.
Lex got his very first phone call today! Just for him. His buddy called to invite Lex to his birthday party this weekend. Lex was super excited, but he needs more practice using the phone because he just doesn’t get it. :) I don’t know what his buddy is like on the phone, but Lex’s end was pretty funny.
I invited Grampy Don and his new friend in for dinner. Veggie soup and fresh bread. Perfect for a rainy day! Eve did her usual entertaining. This time she had some props!
But the best part of the day, the part I haven’t yet photographed, is the mudroom. It’s so close to done! Alan is out there hanging trim as I type. The recycling shelves were in place for about two minutes before we moved the bins out of the kitchen and back into their proper places in the mudroom. It’s so exciting! :)
That was our Sunday. The very last day of September. I hope yours was equally interesting, eventful, and enjoyable. Maybe less rainy and cold though.
