This morning I packed a picnic lunch for all of us and we went for a bike ride. We had Noah sitting in the trailer and Evan peddling on his trail-a-bike thing. It was a little chilly this morning. I thought it was going to be really warm. I'm glad it wasn't too hot though.
We rode to the Velloway, around the 3 mile loop, and then to a nearby park. The boys played on the playground for a little while and then we had lunch. There were a few other kids at the park. Evan and Noah played with 2 other boys who were a little bit older than them.
For dinner we had leftover stew that was in the freezer along with some pasta.
After dinner we played outside in the front yard. Noah tried out his plasma car and Evan rode around on his scooter.
The boys are supposed to be cleaning their rooms right now, but I hear a lot of talking and playing right now.
This morning I went for a run with the boys in the stroller.I ran/walked about 3.5 miles.
We came home for just a little bit.I made a smoothie for all of us and then we went to the gym.I swam and then sat in the hot tub and steam room, cleaned up and then picked up the boys in the child care.Evan and Noah had a good time at the gym. They both colored pages from a coloring book. Evan was especially proud of his Scooby Doo coloring page.
After the gym we went over to the bike shop. I wanted to talk to someone about options for taking the kids with me bike riding.The guy wasn’t sure Evan was big enough for one of those kids trailer bikes (makes like a tandem bike on and adult bike).We put him on one on the lowest setting and he seemed comfortable.The guy recommended doing that and a bike trailer rather than getting seats on the back of the bike.I didn’t buy anything, we just looked around.
It was getting late and there was a McDonalds right next to the bike shop, so I picked up lunch for the boys there.
When we got home Evan and Noah finished eating and then I put Noah down for a nap.Noah wasn’t napping and was crying a lot.I’m not sure why.
Gabby came over at 3:45 and I tutored one student.
I got home around 6pm and we got dinner started.Morry and the boys had pasta. I had a sandwich and soup.
After dinner I gave Evan and Noah haircuts on the upstairs porch.
We gave them a quick bath and now they are both it bed, though both are still awake.
Not only is October tough because of all of the breast cancer awareness promotions, but it is also the anniversary of the beginning of my journey back in 2009.
Angelina says, "There is more than one way to deal with any health issue. The most important thing is to learn about the options and choose what is right for you personally." I appreciate Angelina Jolie and all of the others that have chosen to be open about their health and share personal details.
Shortly after I finished chemo, my feet started feeling like someone took a hammer to them. At first, I thought I had an injury or arthritis. I went to a podiatrist and a rheumatologist, but they couldn’t find anything noticeably wrong. My x-rays looked fine.
