Photographic Memories II

It's been a pretty fun week, event-wise. I've done only what I wanted to do, and surprisingly enough, a few of those tasks were cleaning-related. I know, I know, shock and awe.

Monday, while my Sohl son was at school, my little Sohl gal, my Sohl-mate, and I ran a few errands. He saw what my Mondays and Wednesdays usually look like, and he said he appreciated having that knowledge. We found a table covering for an upcoming event I'm participating in, and also found a new pair of jeans for him. For lunch we stopped by the Executive Surf Club, since my Sohl-mate's never enjoyed their battered fries, and then came home to watch the first half of "The Good Shepherd."

After school, we played at the park with some friends, then made some banana bread. While doing so, my Sohl son gave our little Sohl gal a sample of banana. She enjoyed it for a bit, then decided that she was finished.

As my son climbed from his chair onto the high chair, my husband remarked what a good climber our son is. This reminded me of the park about 20 minutes from our home with a large climbing rock.

We visited the park (I'll post pictures later) and spent about an hour climbing and playing.

After the kids went to bed, we finished watching our movie, which we decided was not our favorite.

Tuesday we took lunch to David and played with a friend who lives on base. It was great to see her and her daughter again, and her daughter was very glad to see my little Sohl gal. My sweet girl did great with her second day of solid foods, and is seeming to get the hang of sitting as well.

Wednesday morning I work on curriculum at the church getting ready for our upcoming craft day, where we prepare several week's worth of activities for the preschool-age children to complete. Each activity relates to the week's Bible lesson, and has some sort of preschool-like, craftiness involved. I also watched "Rumor Has It," a run-of-the-mill chick flick if there ever was one, before picking up my Sohl son. Again, we enjoyed the park before coming home.

We played in the sprinkler again, and cleaned up the house to prepare for friends today.

This morning we welcomed a few friends for some watery fun in the sprinkler. The kiddies played for about two hours, off and on, and the moms enjoyed some adult time. I baked some cupcakes, which seemed to distract my Sohl son from playing, so that all he could focus on was his desire for a cupcake. Eventually I gave in, though, and he played for a bit after indulging.

Tomorrow's looking like another beach day. Hopefully the water's a little warmer for our outing. If we make it out, I'll be sure to post a few pictures.
