exercise

i got to spend yesterday with three awesome kids. their dad is one of my co-workers and their mom is one of my visiting teachers. the kids and i had a ton of fun going to 3 different parks, 2 different restaurants, the library, and playing a ton of games at home. seriously cool kids. such a tribute to their parents, the epitome of fun, yet well-behaved and good mannered. such a terrific way to spend a saturday.

here's a photo (shot with my phone, so not the best quality) of the exercising we did at the park. one way to guarantee a good night's sleep. that little dude is only 2 and he hung onto that bar 4 different times for about 30 seconds. he probably could have hung there longer, but i didn't want him to turn into stretch armstrong.



the girl on the left, she's the middle child (age wise, for now), and she cracked me up with her vocabulary. she's in kindergarten, very smart, but her brain works faster than her tongue, so she said things like, "we don't have the LICKANODEON channel" and "he blasted off in a space SHOVEL" and "i can VALANCE on one foot"! i laughed outloud at lickanodeon. i wonder what an odeon tastes like.

and the oldest girl was such a good helper and she kept saying, "this day is just so much fun!" YAY!

since i spend 90% of my life with senior citizens and all of my own nieces and nephews are growing up so quickly, it was a nice diversion from my ordinary weekend. i hope your weekend was fun, too! and thanks to my mom and mitchel for taking care of my baby, maggie, while i was off being a goofball.
