We're enjoying somewhat of a "cold front" here. The highs the last two days have only been about 89 and it's so nice not to have upper 90 degree weather!  It's amazing what just a few degrees can do for the kids as they've been outdoors walking and playing much more the last two days.


Today I had to run an errand to the Thrift Store for Tom and picked up some books the kids will enjoy using for school.  They were mostly hardback and the grand total for 8 books was $1.61.  I love getting a bargain!  And, when we're done, we'll pass them on or give them back to the store.  I'm all about decluttering these days.


Wes is getting ready to start cat sitting for the next 10 days again. So, we're trying to figure out what our plans for the 4th of July are.  Probably nothing too exciting, lol.  


Today we actually read a bit of a book together after dinner and discussed some accounting concepts.  The hilarious thing is that the accounting conversation started with some pizza, don't even ask me how!  The other night we were discussing inflation over the dinner table too.  Oh, we also discussed Winston Churchill, Jonas Salk and the polio vaccination, and Alexander Fleming and penicillin.  So, I highly recommend sitting down to eat together as often as possible.  Some of our greatest learning serendipities have occurred this way!


Today's workout:  Morning was Cardio~Ramping 1-2-3; this afternoon I did Ellen Barrett's Skinny Sculpt which, in spite of it's awful name, is a really lovely workout.  It uses light weights and standing and floor pilates style movements.
