While You Were Away

Den is getting ready to leave for the airport in Japan. his flight doesn't leave for another 6 hours, but it will take that long to get to the airport and processed once there. Never a bad idea to show up a little early for your international flight--especially when he can hang out in the Crown Room.
These pictures are from my phone. I basically did everything I could to wear the kids out so they were good and tired each night. It worked some nights better than others.

Monday night I took the kids to the park Den always takes them on his run. I learned flip-flops are not a good shoe choice when pushing the double stroller up and down hills. I think it's a total of just over 2 miles. The kids had a great time.

Tuesday we went for a walk around the block and I completely spaced attending our neighborhood national night out, despite reminder emails all day. Guess they should have sent one at 4:30 or 5 :)

Wednesday the kids were so worn out (by the sitter, not me) that we didn't make it anywhere.

Then yesterday, I decided that we needed to visit the local grocery for J's speciality non-dairy foods. So we again took the double jog stroller out (which I feel like a poser pushing as anyone can look at my legs and see there is no running in my life, except to catch a kid), and hauled down the hill to one of their favorite parks and then on to the grocery where I caved and bought precooked, presliced, plain (somewhat dry) chicken breast to feed the kids. I got myself some sushi. I think what Den had in Japan was likely better...continued.
