Productive weekend: Pruning, Painting, Game-playing, Pool-play and a pulmonary workout.

It was a weekend that served up much sweat, but also had a good serving of fun!
Saturday saw Liesel and myself in the garden. I trimmed our bushes in the front yard, while she cut back the lavender and rose bushes and removed the dead stalks from the day-lilies. Josh kept us on our toes as we discovered that he can climb up the playset in the backyard, unaided! Add that to his other recent accomplishments, such as our bar-height dining room chairs, and the office chair at the computer! This helps keep Liesel and myself on our toes, not to mention getting the occasional grey hair....

That evening, our friends, the Muth's, came over for dinner. We threw some hamburgers on the grill, while the children played in the pool! It was a beautiful evening, so it was decided to eat outdoors. After dessert, the adults moved indoors to the cooler air-conditioned environment,and broke out the games. The Muth's taught us two new games, which we thoroughly enjoyed until around 10pm, when the kids needed to be put to bed.

On Sunday, morning, Liesel and I were the volunteer Sunday school teachers for Nathan's class again, so we were at church slightly earlier than normal. Being summer vacation time, we only had Nathan and four other children in the class, which makes it a lot easier for us. Afterward, we headed home for lunch and a compulsory nap for all. Later that afternoon, I headed to our church's Ultimate Frisbee game, for 90 mins of heart pumping action. It's a great way to get a much needed work out, although my feet always take a beating. It seems my calouses are getting calouses, but it's a small price to pay. Liesel was getting her own workout at the same time, as she had both boys in the pool with her for close to an hour.
By the time I got home, it was dinner time, and afterwards I heard the pool calling my name. The boys joined me for round 2 in the pool

I really enjoyed the exercise this weekend, as I try desparately to cling to my youth. Sadly, this is my last blog as a 35 year old!!! Until next week.............................
