Busy?

I feel like we haven't had too many plans lately but yet we seem so busy.  Last weekend Zach and I went to the movies.  That's big for us.  We never go to the movies, maybe twice a year if that.  We went to a 10:30 AM show, hot date right? 

This week Luke and I have been getting creative with indoor activities.  It is hot, which is an understatement right now.  I feel like everyone everywhere is dealing with the same nonsense but it sucks.  Luke really likes to be outside but when temperatures feel like 100 or more, it is too hot to play outside.  Monday morning we sneaked out before the heat for bubbles (best. thing. ever. in Luke's eyes) but from Tuesday on we've been going to indoor places or doing indoor things.  No park for us. 

Yesterday was Zach's birthday so that kept us busy preparing things for daddy when he got home.  And thank goodness for Gymboree on really hot days - its like an indoor park with bubbles AND Gymbo stamps.  What more could a kid want. 

Today we ventured across the river to my work.  I needed to drop some things off and pick some things up.  Luke surprisingly enjoyed it.  I was worried he would get all cranky and bored but the building was empty, dark, quiet, and like a massive running zone for a toddler.  Normally my classroom is packed with adolescents who sometimes are too tall to even fit their legs under the desks.  Today Luke barely was as tall as a desk.  Entertaining.  It was almost like a maze for him.

We've also been doing a lot of coloring.  Luke is really into crayons but is still learning the appropriate way to use them.  The carpet has taken a beating.  I really don't think carpets have a chance when you have a toddler and we bought a house with a super light carpet.  Opps.

Tonight both of my guys were in bed before 8 so I took some time for myself.  I'm back on my working out kick but mainly because I am too in love with summer and food.  Self control? I have none lately.  Then I went back to prepping our house.  Tonight I depersonalized our main living floor - which is really super depressing.  All the personal touches, pictures, decor is what makes a house a home.  However I completely understand if we want to sell the house we need to let other people see it as their home.  So it'll be all good.  This whole getting the house ready thing is taking much longer than I thought, although having a toddler and a broken handed husband have been a few obstacles.  We have a lot of stuff - I can't imagine packing the entire house but will be very excited when we finally sell get the house up for sale.  Baby steps here. 

Stay cool ya'll.
