Bounce!

The city we live in dedicated today to health and fitness awareness, so they set up a ton of booths and various bounce houses/inflatables for a day of fitness fun.  After all the "fun" with field day yesterday (read: ruined running shoes and pink faces, despite sunscreen application), B was complaining of a "broken ankle" which is pretty interesting since one of the boys on his team is in a walking boot for a few weeks.  He was hopping around on one foot, and when I mentioned/explained Bounce! it was a miraculous recovery.  He was healed!

And then I told him to put away his laundry, and he was broken again.  Go figure.

Anyway, this morning we slept in since nobody had baseball, and after a leisurely morning, I told them to get dressed and we headed to check it out.  B was so excited...N?  Not so much.  He's obviously entirely too old for bounce house fun.  Or something.  We got in line for an obstacle course, and the boys and I were talking when I looked in front of us and saw one of the boys from N's baseball team.  They're (obviously) the same age, but both have 7 year-old brothers, so it's kind of perfect...except N didn't want to have anything to do with participating.  Eventually, he changed his mind and raced his teammate through the course, and he laughed the whole time.

Too old?  Ha!

We hung out at Bounce! for a couple of hours, spending a lot of time with the other boys and their dad, and my ultimate goal was to wear B out.  After we finished there, we went to get them new shoes since their others were trashed.  On the way home, we stopped to get cards for my grandmother for Mother's Day...and Oreos.  Because both boys know their priorities.

They played Xbox for a while, and I just relaxed.  B was up at 4:00 this morning doing a breathing treatment, so I didn't sleep very well and was so sleepy...but I opted to take them down to the pool after a little rest.  For two hours, they played and splashed, and stayed submerged so they wouldn't freeze.  Because it was a little breezy.

Also, the dress I was wearing today gave me a really interesting "tan" (read: pink) line, so that's fun.  After the pool, the boys showered, and then N went to spend a couple of hours with Justin.  Now, I'm settling into bed to watch "Courageous" because I've wanted to watch it for a long time, and I've heard it's fantastic.

N's home, both boys are in bed watching a movie, and it's all peaceful around here.

Just the way Mother's Day weekend  should be.
