Thank Heaven for Little Boys

Well, Dylan has to be the squiggliest little guy I know. He just LOVES to hang on my arm, leg.. and give me a good snuggle. I know there will come a day when he will cringe when I try to kiss him, so for now I cherish his words " i want more kisses, lots and lots of kisses".

Had a pretty good week. Made it 6 out of 7 days in a row with exercise. Wahoo! The max was on Thursdays when I boycotted our stinky car (literally stinky and literally something has crawled up and died "somewhere"). I took the kids into Boston via train. Was 1.7mi to the T station, then a half hour ride into town. got off and had a brief stop at first playground until too many kids started taking over. Then we were off to the destination playground on the Charles river. I wasn't entirely sure where it was, but knew it was somewhat close to the Arlington bridge. Kids were in the stroller and when we got to the foot bridge, all I had to say was "Dylan, look, ramp!" and he was out of the stroller raring to go and run. He had fun on all the little bridges along the Charles as we searched (in the wrong direction) for the playground. After a while I decided to head the other way and we finally arrived (2.5 miles later) and our destination playground. We noticed squirrels rummaging through all the strollers there looking for food, but were not deterred from our stay... until Sophia tripped over my foot 5 minutes later and scraped her knee. Not bad, but did draw blood and the ground looked a little dirty. I cleaned it out with water and a Kleenex and was trying to convince her to stay and have lunch before deciding to go. Well, that darned squirrel had to land on OUR stroller and that was it. Game over. Sophia would NOT stay any longer. Sigh. 2 hours to get there, 5 minutes there, and an hour to get home. 6.5 miles logged.

Looks like this week will be a scorcher - 30+ degrees (C) for a few days. Hello summer.

So, I am also in the midst of knitting another dress for Sophia seeing as the first has been such a hit with her. I am not having good vibes from this one. Was knitting for a week and wasn't happy with it and started over. I am happier with this attempt, but still not thrilled with the pattern. I have altered the pattern a bit on the skirt and bought some bling to add when I am done knitting. We'll see...
