all aboard the choo choo train


Wednesday, August 1, 2012

A dolphin. That's what my child has been called due to the high ear piercing pitch that comes from her vocal cords when she is so excited about something. And a train would be one of those things {and a horse, bus, her blankie, stuffed animals, the list is endless}. Yesterday we went with our friends to a local park that has one of the best train rides for your  dollar $2.50 spent, and I'm definitely a person that appreciates getting what I paid for. It was 10 minutes of backwoodsin' it by a lake, waterwheel, and the trip even included a tunnel. Bargain. What sweetened the deal was that the weather decided to break it's 92* heat + 70% humidity streak and left us with beautiful 83* weather. It felt darn good to be able to straighten my hair without worrying about it curling/frizzing with the moisture in the air. I've kinda given up on getting myself ready in the summertime. With all the sweat and pool dipping we do, there's not really much of a point, ya know? And I forsee my lack of self-readiness going well into the fall as I'll have 2 little kiddos around. So Jared, I guess that means I'll get back to my banging self in... hm, 10 years when the kids are all grown and in school?

  2. How fun! I love little trains.
    I don't bother getting ready most days, either, because I don't want to bear the heat. But you might surprise yourself after your newest little one arrives. Cooler autumn temps and not being pregnant go a long way in giving the motivation to get ready for the day more often. (That's how I was after my second. I was better at getting ready for the day than I had been when I only had one!)
