Took boys to pool. Dominic had an awesome time and ended up playing with a few kids. He's had no formal swimming lessons, but actually has some strokes down really well; he just can't do the breathing yet. I was impressed.
Tyler, well....I think it is a success he managed to work his way up from sulking in a chair to up to his knees. Briefly.
And can I say, if you manage to apply sunscreen to 2 kids, one of whom is fighting you all the way, and then the other makes a beeline for the pool, no matter how you try, you will not get sunscreen applied to yourself terribly effectively. Double ow.
And you'd think, given how they were drooping on the way home, that they'd be spent. No. They are outside playing and riding bikes.
Me? I'm slathered in aloe.
aurelia - you need to write a grant to test that theory.
Ooh! Could I get a hunky marine biologist to work with me?
You probably shouldn't put "hunky" in the grant proposal. . .
You should use the term "beefcake-positive" instead.
And I have 2 blisters from shoes that never gave me blisters. Taking care of kids, not for the fainthearted. Especially going from childless to single parenting 8&4. Who are extremely active.

You've got to be more subtle than that.

“This guy is crazy!” …crazy like a fox. This is apparently a vending machine at a petting zoo from which people can buy treats to feed the animals. But Billy here has figured out how to “tap” into it himself!
Suzi, I'm with Aims. I'd clue him in so hard he'd be dizzy for a week. Wanna borrow my clue by four? It's painted a very pretty blue.
I tried to talk to him, point blank, but he is determined to remain clueless. Whatever. As much as I hate seeing it bother K-Bug, she is old enough to navigate her own relationship with her father.
Today included a mani/pedi and grocery shopping, including the Persian grocery. I got the stuff to make chickpea cookies. Never tried making them before, but I'm feeling adventurous.
I'm looking at a recipe that calls for superfine sugar. Will icing sugar do? If not icing sugar, how badly would I go if I used normal sugar (I am dissolving the sugar in hot liquid), or should I use agave syrup and lose some random other liquid? But I don't see what other liquid to lose -- Guinness and sour cream and eggs are it.
