Walking and Laundry

I am falling desperately in love with walking on my treadmill.  It is a love/hate relationship, really.  I hate that walking is boring.  So very boring.  Walking 2 1/2 miles and getting nowhere.  But I love, love, love the way I feel when I am done.  Okay, not the sweaty and gross part, but the endorphines.  So, I decided to spice things up lately with watching movies while I walk.

Prince of Persia.  First of all, who is the idiot that let Jake Gyllennhaaaaaal keep spelling his name this way?  They made John Wayne and Marilyn Monroe change their names, why not Jilenhall.  Or Gilenhal.  Or Smith.  (pronounced... Gyllenhaal...).   And who forgot to tell me that Jake Jyllenhawl had yummy abs in this movie?  Yummy, yummy abs.  Like cheesecake...  cheesecake abs...

But the last two scenes... he gets done fighting the war and his hair is greasy and gross, then walks in to see the princess and it is clean, brushed and trimmed.  Blah.  Good thing he has cheesecake abs.

And now... the main man in my life.  He has found the laundry baskets.  Dear future wife of my son... I will do my best to expand his interest in laundry baskets to include washing, drying and folding.  I may even try to expand it to putting clothes away and rubbing your feet.  But don't hold your breath.




check out these eyelashes.  They are awesome!!

A grand day out

Aiden and I had a grand adventure with all-boy things.  Well, except the bridal shower in the morning.  Welcome to the family, Danika.  Yeah, you don't know us yet, but think of it this way... "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" without the Greek.

Then, Aiden and I went for lunch and then to the HAFB Museum.  He wore his bomber jacket and was ready!!

Aiden loved, loved, loved the big planes outside.

Really tender picture.  Unless you had the audio.  Aiden is saying, "ABC... ABC..."

He was SO tired.  





There was a cool grandpa there who had made 4 or 5 little jet planes for the kids to ride in.  


Then we came home and played pirates.  Okay, Aiden lined up the cannons, (below) while I tried to show him how to sword fight and smuggle the booty from the scurvy brigands.  Meh, he caught on eventually, but I think it was more to humor Mom.


But, he does know how to leave a path of pirate destruction.  

Fun day, fun boy!!
