wednesday.

well, we found the first letterbox but couldn't get to the second due to a bridge closure...

and no, there wasn't anyone lurking about on the trail...*this* time...

yesterday we went on a hike to a gorgeous waterfall on the olympic peninsula...wingman complained bitterly only part of the way...

why is it when i say the word *hike* he's all jumping up and down and excited...but then when we are actually *hiking* he's whining and complaining and slowly dissolving along the way?

probably for the same reason he can ride his bike and play at the park for hours on end but can't walk up the stairs to get his pajamas on and insists on being carried...

in other and more disturbing news, i had a dream about david hasselhoff last night...it wasn't pretty...he was wearing that shirt he wears in real life that says "don't hassle the hoff"...good lord don't hassle me!!...thankfully i woke up before it got extra ugly...

there isn't much to report except a packed schedule for the next few days...today we have the library and piano and then a ball game this evening...a *real* ball game which means beer and hot dogs and actual action...i don't care if i ever see another t-ball game in my life!!...

tomorrow is my birthday, friday we go for another letterbox hunt in some wetlands, and saturday i am taking a kayak class/tour...

i also plan to start the painting project in our bedroom and pull together the upstairs...then declutter the art shelf and homeschool stuff in anticipation of our august return to school...

that's plenty ambitious for my lazy self...i'm tired just thinking about it!...but it will be a good birthday gift to complete a few projects...

at the very least get the um, christmas stuff in the upstairs hallway put away...

yeah, that's bad...i know...what's even worse is my thinking hey, i'm over halfway to christmas so i could just save myself the work and leave it...it was considered...well, is still being considered...

i'll keep you posted...
