I feel like my days are nonstop since…early May?\u00a0 Today I packed it full: yoga class in the AM, then a quick change before selling my car.\u00a0 Sniff!\u00a0 Sad to see my Versa go, but after driving my van for a week the Versa seemed so small cramped!\u00a0 I felt like Alice, suddenly too large for her house.\u00a0 I went down to Carmax and they offered me a fair trade, and got it all done in an hour’s time.\u00a0 I had just enough time to scarf down lunch before taking the kids to the library for a special show.<\/p>\n

As part of their Summer Reading events, we saw Magic Rob<\/a>!\u00a0 I registered the kids a while ago, figuring magic was a slam dunk way to spend Friday afternoon in June.\u00a0 Jack was excited by Sam dug in his heels.\u00a0 He loosened up when I allowed him to bring some blocks in a fanny pack “for my entertainment.”\u00a0 After less than two minutes Sam had forgotten his blocks.\u00a0 He even shot up his hand to volunteer (along with most every other kid, neither of my boys got a turn to help).\u00a0 I did not expect the magician to be a version of Chris Farley for kids, but the kids were rolling on the floor with laughter.\u00a0 After the show, during the meet-and-greet with Presto the bunny, I embarrassed Jack by telling Rob that Jack is an aspiring magician too.\u00a0 \u00a0Rob was genuinely excited to hear about that and pulled Jack aside to ask him about his tricks and to give him a trick coloring book to take home.\u00a0 Jack was glowing with pride.\u00a0 Pictures and video of the show are below.<\/p>\n

The Golden library where we saw the show is right along Clear Creek, so the boys waded a little bit.\u00a0 They were shocked how cold the water was.\u00a0 It’s snow-melt, guys!<\/p>\n

Home in the afternoon gave me a chance to sit down and do my billing work for a while, plying the kids with backyard hammock-time and popsicles.\u00a0 Then Ben and I blitzed through the house cleaning.\u00a0 A brief but intense summer storm had me running to shut windows, and we lost power for a few seconds.\u00a0 After the storm lifted I went to the bank to deposit my car check and get McDonald’s for the boys.\u00a0 Ben and I enjoyed Indian take-out with his friends.\u00a0 We hosted Gloomhaven at our house tonight.\u00a0 Between serving and cleaning up the kids, helping set up their movie, and baths later in the night, I had a few moments to myself to eat samosas and watch some youtube.\u00a0 I’m ready for a slower weekend tomorrow!\u00a0 Just a birthday party at lunch and an Alamo movie with the fam on the schedule.<\/p>\n
