Not skinny tonight

we have a nice couple of ponds in our neighborhood that the boys and I walk up to at least once a week to feed the fishes and ducks - it is something they both really get a kick out of it. Last night after dinner this was my conversation with Logan:

Me: Logan are you ready to go and feed the fishes and ducks
Logan: Mom, can I ride in my car tonight
Me: Logan, it is a nice night, why don't you walk? Besides it is good exercise, it will help you stay skinny.
Logan: Mom, I don't want to be skinny tonight.

Me either kid, me either. It was a very hot walk but of course we didn't just walk up to the pond, we went and ventured over to the park - overall it is about a 3.5 mile walk, up and back. The walk isn't so bad, it was just so HOT outside. On our walk home we passed a young kid that gave us a look, it wasn't a dirty look it was just a look. I hear Logan say as he is riding in his car, "Hey, you messing with my mom, I'll mess with you" I say Logan, what in the world, he goes "Mom, I just wanted to say it"

God, I love that child! He always makes me have a better day after having a bad day at work. I hope everyone is surviving the heat - it is HOT out there. I have suspended the walks during work because it was always right at lunch hour and that is when it seems like it is a scorcher. But I continue to walk in the morning and evening so I am at least still doing a little something.

It is Wednesday - time for Volleyball tonight, it is going to be a hot one and a late one - but at least it is exercise and it is always a good time.

I hope everyone is having a great week - staying cool and continually to be blessed.

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love and happiness to all,
