He stayed outside for an hour or so and poured lemonade to the masses. Unfortunately, most of those masses were me buying cup after cup of lemonade. All in all, he made $14 (it helped that one man didn't have any change and gave him a ten in the name of free market). Good work, Devin!
Here I'm sporting my medal and am definitely more warm and showered than in the picture above. I'm glad it's over and now can focus on a sprint triathalon this summer. That will be a lot more fun and less stressful. Thanks to my family for all the extra help they gave so I could take my long runs and to my great husband who made breakfast for the boys and did the soccer game rounds for eight Saturdays in a row. I couldn't have done it (nor lost 23 lbs) without your support!
Devin learned to ride his bike recently without training wheels. While riding he took a fall and broke his arm. The catch is we didn't know it was broken for a week. He's so mellow and tough he didn't really complain and it wasn't swollen so we thought it was healed. Then during a soccer game a kid bumped his arm gently and he started crying. I thought we should probably take him to the doctor and they said it was fractured, but healing straight. They mostly put a cast on to protect his arm from another fall.
Taylor and Devin loved running around in a thunderstorm and sliding down the "water slide". Hey, as long as they don't get hit too hard with lightning, go for it.
Ashton has the most amazing talent of all. He can fold his ears in on themselves. He's always played with his ears, but sometimes when he folds them they stay just like Yoda. I guess being Yoda for Halloween was a foreshadowing of things to come.
Hello, Yoda!
