Ruby and I had a great day together. By the time she came back to me from David's house, I had already written two blog entries and had begun an article. As soon as she got home we took off for the swimming hole. Stephens Lake Park, that is. It's a pretty cool park with a hefty lake area with part of it sectioned off for swimming. They have recently built a separate water feature. It's almost like a water park, with all the sprayers and fountains, and the digging in the sand. We picked out pebbles that we wanted from the bottom of the lake and brought them home with us.
After we finished there, we went to Cici's pizza. Man, that place is cheap. Ten bucks for the two of us, I ate until I was full AND she got a gumball toy and some candy. I'd totally forgotten about that place until it popped back into my head.
We played a game with the scrabble board and scrabble tiles. We would make words on the board, add up the points and then add those words and points to the other words until we reached 100 points.
Later on, she played briefly on the computer, making mermaids, like 80 of them, on this doll website. We took a night walk at 11:30 to the playground and we messed around there for half an hour, swinging, playing.
Got home, wrapped each other up in butcher paper to see if we could 'bust out'. Afterwards, poofy was playing in the paper.
We looked through a really cool book based on exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. That was neat.
Bedtime came around. Ruby did 6 pages in her Reading Comprehension book, and then I read a story to her called "The Unicorn's Wings."
It was a fine summer day.
And to top it all off, I finished the mowing this morning! Yay! I don't have to do it again for another couple of weeks!

Sounds like a delightful day. I'm glad I found your blog. We seem to have a great deal in common. I can also relate to the lapses between posts, but I find that when i make the time to process this life with kids, without school, my head becomes clearer and my heart becomes more open. Keep it up!
