Pool Party

Back to blog again!  We had a great vacation and then the time just flew by and I guess I put the blog on the back burner for a bit.  I have been doing well with my new eating routine (don't want to say diet because I plan on keeping this routine)  I am now down 87 pounds and getting really close to my goal.  We have been walking 4 miles a day and sometimes 6 on cool days.  Rikku looks amazing, it is funny how just exercising makes her coat shiny.  Shane enjoys watching the traffic go by as we walk and is in awe of the big rigs.  We got caught in the rain today, it was sunny out when we left and I checked the weather radar and looked clear but 2 miles out we were hit by the heaviest downpour you could imagine.  Shane stayed dry in the stroller but Rikku and I were soaked.  We just happened to be at a stretch of road with no awnings or overhangs to hide under.  Since I was soaked I decide to keep walking, felt nice and cool afterwards!  

Shane has outgrown his size 7 shoes.  Note to my parents: He loves the flashing sneakers and stomps around in them and he wore the sandals all day yesterday.  They are just about the right size.  I think his foot has grown a whole half size since I picked up the shoes at your place.

My garden is growing and we have been snacking on sweet peas.  So did a squirrel until Rikku grabbed it.  She let it go and it scurried away.  Made Rikku's day.

Got car to wash this week.  Seats in the van to wash and install.  Only have 3 garbage bags left from the first wave of spring cleaning.  I still have a bunch left to do but it is in areas that I can't have Shane like the cellar so it is put off till I can get some alone time.

Laundry time for me!  Got two loads to fold tonight and then I am done for the day!
