After, what seems to be, an impossibly long winter, it's been hot enough this long weekend to head to the beach. I took the kids to the beach on Friday afternoon where we played in the sand and the kids braved the water. They spent most of their time jumping into the water, screaming that it was cold and then jumping out. Considering we had snow only a few weeks ago, it's pretty much a given that the water is still cold! As usual, my youngest had issues with keeping his pants on. That poor kid - his bum issues will never allow him to keep up a pair of pants.
It's been a great long weekend so far. We went to a friends' place on Saturday night and drank and played poker into the wee hours of the morning. The kids stayed there and played with the other kids and crashed with the kids. Just a big giant sleepover for them! We had friends over last night for a bbq and relaxed in front of the new outdoor fire pit that hubby bought for me for Mother's Day. I forgot how nice it was to have friends over, relax and enjoy company. We really have to do it more often.
I ran 10 km Saturday morning in 70 minutes Saturday morning. Finally - I did it! I was quite impressed...next step half marathon?
Our washer woes have began again with a new washer. We have bad appliance karma - doesn't matter what we buy, what kind of research we do, we always get a lemon. We bought a new front load washer and dryer in February. This morning the washer gave us an error code, which, according to my research, is a circuit board issue. I called Sears repair and we have a repair date for 4 days from now between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. I don't think the lady on the other end appreciated the fact I killed myself laughing over that one.
