Monthly Archive for June, 2010

I’ve been thinking that I want to start writing on here more so there’s no time like the present to get started, eh?

We had a pretty pleasant weekend! We decided to take the kids to the Children’s Museum on Saturday afternoon for a couple of reasons. 1) it’s hot as blazes lately so that’s a nice cool indoor activity. 2) Our membership expires in August so we HAD to go at least one more time before then to get our money out of the membership. 3) We realized that they have a Rock and Roll exhibit right now which is right up Cam’s alley. AND…they had the KISS guy’s costumes on display which was beyond exciting for both kids. I have to wonder how many preschoolers are KISS fans solely because of Rock & Roll All Night, courtesy of Guitar Hero. Hmmm…

I mowed the grass (complete with weed eating! and blowing the clippings off of the patio!) on Saturday morning while Jason played Lincoln Logs with the kids. Somehow mowing the grass seems to have become my job this summer. I’m totally not complaining I just think it’s kind of funny for some reason. I view it as cross-training so if I can get in a workout and finish a chore all at one time I’m all for it. I love to multitask!

Sunday morning was pretty low key again. Jason ran 7 miles on the treadmill while the kids and I colored and danced and played monster trucks. Then we did the 30 Day Shred DVD together. Lily amazes me every time she does this with me! After naps we headed downtown to check out the youth theater production of Peter Pan. It was really, really good! I’m amazed at all of the hard work these kids put into the show. It clearly took a lot of time and dedication to get all of the dances, gymnastics, wire work (for flying!) and other details together to put on a great show.

The kids really enjoyed it too and Cameron rushed to find his Peter Pan costume as soon as we got home! Funny thing about Cameron this weekend is that he seems to have developed a sensitive side. Not that he’s never been sensitive before but songs have never really made him tear up until Sunday. I don’t know if he was just tired or what but the boy got all sad and teary on Sunday morning when I turned on a slow-ish Phish song (of all things) and then three times during Peter Pan he started to cry when they were singing lullaby or other sad sounding songs. It’s like he just got overwhelm with grief when the lost boys left to go back with Wendy and Peter curled up on the stage in despair. His bottom lip came out and trembled and he kept trying to take deep breaths and rub his hands over his face to keep from crying. I really didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, it was just so sad/cute. We have yet to see if this was just a Sunday thing or if this song sensitivity is a new phase we’re entering. Stay tuned!
