I've often thought a lot about what I would blog about when I get to blogging but I really haven't gotten to blogging and now can barely think of how to relay to everyone what's been going on.
Hard to believe it is just a couple of weeks 'til school holiday and that soon after that we will be in the States for 31 days!!!! I thought to myself that all my hard work (most of the work is in my mind) on my tomato plants will result in my friends Joel and Rory being around for the first productions, or the plants deaths.
Jesse is ever engaged with idea of being in Year 1. He and his class have already eaten lunch with the Year 1 students to see how it works and they have had play time out on the big kids playground as well. he is excited--I am not excited that the school day will start at 8:55 and go until 3:45. I think that is ridiculous and am considering homeschooling for a moment--oh wait, that moment is gone! But seriously.
The bunk bed (in parts) has been delivered to our house. It is still in pieces but we are in the process of getting it together. The first step was passing the frame of Luci's bed and the mattress of Jesse (the survivors) on to my friend for her little boy. Maybe tomorrow, we will find a taker on the pavement for the other seriously worn bed. It was a bit sad to get rid of them since they were so cute and Jesse has spent so much time in his. It was interesting how the kids wanted a bunk bed so badly but they hadn't contemplated, until a bit ago, that that would require getting rid of the other beds. Well, I think we've managed to get through this better than I had predicted a couple of days ago.
Luci has been keeping Jesse awake until too late at night and now after having a sleep deficit for a few nights, he has been so cranky. I finally put Luci in our guest room in her old bed even though our friend Rory, who is our guest, could be coming home anytime soon. But maybe she will be able to understand what I've been saying (threatening) about her not being able to share a room with J if she can't leave him alone to get some sleep in the evenings.
Luci has delighted me lately and made me laugh. She'll wrap her arms around my head and say, "Oh my cute beautiful wife! I love you so much, my cute wife." She really been doting on my lately.
Today, Luci and I went on my bike to the nearby leisure center to go into the pool with my friends. It is quite affordable but today and for a few days following, it is free. They have this amazing kid's pool that Luci enjoyed walking around in for a while and it was great to see the facilities because in my ideal world in my head I've been planning to be able to go for a decent run and then do a few laps (I am a really weak swimmer and would like to improve) and then run home, or maybe I could bike home and have myself a mini triathalon? This is quite ambitious since I haven't run in a long time. ( I saw my neighbor Jay this morning outside, then I saw him at the pool, then I passed him on my bike going home from the pool, and then I walked passed him when I was picking up Jesse from school. I love this relatively small community.)
I put a few pictures on my wall today and it makes me happy. Alas, I am off to bed.
