a view

Aiden loves to say, "hey Mom, Check out that nice view!?"... which is usually his excuse to go running off in whatever direction he chooses. It's hard to squelch his excitement but I can usually keep us all out of poison ivy. When J goes out of town my strategy is to wear out the boys so that they ask for bedtime (and try to not wear myself out too much in the process). After chess club earlier this week, we zoomed straight to the park. Aiden and his buddy loved the decks over the green water and tried to throw rocks and balance them on the leaves. There were other random fun things this past week : dancing at the Greek Fest and KC's favorite things, eating with forks and rides in the neighbor's spiffy cruise mobile.
