Ryan dressed himself in his uniform this morning. He played baseball with his dad for about an hour and a half this afternoon. Now they’re on the couch watching the game. Yesterday Erik walked in the house with Ryan’s batting helmet on and Ryan’s new batting gloves for me to help him put on. I think we’ve got many more years of baseball ahead!
Ryan had a great time at VBS again this year. This church really does a wonderful job. They get to know the kids and have so many fun things for them to do. Ryan came home singing all of the songs every day.
The Performance
I am finally feeling better. I got some awful, achy virusy type of thing all last week. Hopefully it’s gone.
This is a public service announcement:
These salmon cakes were FABULOUS! Erik ate two! Thanks as usual to Ina Garten for the recipe. I had to change fix the creamy dill sauce. I replaced the non-fat yogurt with full fat and used regular mayo.
While I’m at it…If you are particular about your toothbrush (keeping the gums you have) you may already have a Nimbus. They are the softest brush I have found and do a great job. They just came out with a kid’s version. I don’t know if you have felt your kid’s toothbrush but most of them are really hard. You have to order online but they are worth it!
It just hasn’t been a hot summer so we have only gone a couple of times so far. Our cousins are back from their vacation so hopefully August will involve lots of swimming. Ryan loves to go and play with them in their pool. Mommy loves watching, from the chair with my drink in hand!
Erik ventured down to the second stair today. He hasn’t warmed up to the idea of getting all the way in.
So I have thought about getting a body wave for about three years. Seriously. I finally went last week. Let’s just say that not one person noticed. I have to go back tomorrow to get it redone because there is no waving. It’s not that I don’t love a couple of hours off by myself, I would just prefer it be somewhere exciting, like Target.
All of a sudden the old sandbox is all the rage! The boys and their friends have been having a great time in it.
Ryan had a great time at VBS today. It was the perfect amount of time for him to play and for Erik and me to hang out. Too bad kindergarten isn’t three hours!
Imagine how pleasant this was for me in the morning!
