We went bike riding first thing in the morning, and since my bike is not in optimum running shape, and my rollerblades were buried in storage, I just walked around the lake by myself waiting for Windy, or a child to come cruising past. I managed to take a few pictures and a video of the boys (see posts below).
Then Windy made the boys lunch, took Cade to a play date at a magic show, managed to get into the magic show herself with Heath, then Jason and Grace and their dad (from our church) showed up at the magic show, then Windy ended up taking care of Jason and Grace from the duration of the show. After which she spent her day with Heath until she went off to a banquet for a retiring faculty member, and then a Music Department Gala.
Meanwhile, after biking, I went to the storage unit and redid the mess we created from last week when we hurriedly found some items we despartely needed (like beds, dressers, and toys for the kids). That took about five and half hours. Then Heath and I went to a "guys" night out while Windy went to her banquets and galas.
She was at a luncheon yesterday, and will be at a roast tomorrow. She's giving Heidi a run for her money on the socialite scale.

Those are new helmets aren't they?
I got those in Washington. Heath outgrew his, and Cade's was a little to "toddlery." So, I showed them some options online, and looked around until I found the style they had picked, for the cheapest.
As long as they don't crash badly, these should last them the duration (as long as I don't lose the other padded inserts). Of course, putting stickers on is their favorite part. Heath has "skelleetoens" on his.

I think I followed that, but I'll let you know when my eyeballs stop spinning.
Kyle forgot to say that Windy's afternoon with Heath was filled with baking 2 batches of brownies and apple pies for her social events. She called me for the pie recipe. I think you'll need to rescue her cook books soon.
Why do her cookbooks need rescuing?
They are in storage. But truth be told, Windy really only has one, or two cookbooks. The majority are mine.
I did find a stack of them, and brought them to the apartment on my own that same day.
Windy isn't known for packing same items in same boxes. I found these cookbooks with a bottle of cleaner, three bath towels, and socks.
lol
Doesn't surprise me. :-)
In "defense" of Windy Ann, ;-) re packing similar items together, I learned from Harriet, my highly efficient, formerly a Navy wife, Mom in law, to fill in the spaces (inside tea pots, vases, or whatever has a cavity), with assorted items that fit to reduce the # of boxes. (Enlisted families had to conduct and pay for their own moves!) Thus there would be a general category written ie "kitchen dishes", yet assorted "surprises within as well :-) So like Windy while our packing was also "concise", the UNpacking was defintely a greater "challenge"! mc
Works great if you are going to unpack everything, which we have been unable to do since we left Delaware in 1999!
