Breakin' the rules!

So we are officially over half-way through our long weekend and it has been dreamy. Yesterday morning, there was that horrific trip to the grocery that sells EVERYTHING. While getting groceries, we picked up one of these - except I'm not sure it's this exact one and we did not pay NEARLY that much! We put it together, which was a major pain in the ass task in and of itself, and neither The Boy nor The Girl has stopped playing since. The Boy even chose to shoot hoops over watching the flashy box! Now THAT is a feat! While the kids played ball, we did the yard work. Then, we stopped and had ice cream. It was such a great evening! I shot a bazillion photos and could not help but share this one of The Girl.

We ended up grilling for dinner, which was also great. It was an extremely nice and relaxing day.

Today, we slept in and then went on the bikes. We drove out to the park and went on an 11.5 mile ride. I rode the first half with The Boy; The Husband rode with The Girl. The Girl complained every bit of the way and I thought The Husband's head was going to explode! I rode back with her - and she was so much better for me. The Husband was already irritated with her when we began and I'd had my ride with The Boy to cool off, so it was a good switch. The ride back was good too, except The Boy rode up under me on a hill and I crashed. Small bruise on the leg, but it's all good. After the ride, we came home for lunch and went out for ice cream again. I figured I'd burned off a whole hell of a lot of calories and I needed to get them back before my body missed them! We're grilling again tonight, which will be great.

One more day off...hope it's a good one!
