Today we started painting the pieces of the Adirondack chair I ordered online, and started (and almost finished) the girls Halloween costumes. I also took a long walk with Zoey, and since it was hot and we walked/ran for about 40 minutes, she was done for the rest of the day. We did a lot this weekend, but of course still wish that the weekends were longer.

This morning I went out for my final outdoor run before next week's Queen Bee Half Marathon. It was warm, and I guess also muggy, because finishing was a real struggle. I meant to run 6, but since I had to take a few walking breaks I pushed for a an extra mile. At least the views running around Hyde Park were nice.

After a super challenging week Lionel went out to poker night and the girls and I ended up at the Taste of Belgium for dinner. I was physically and mentally exhausted, but glad the week was finally over.

This evening, after Bella's soccer practice, we got to enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Today is our 3rd month anniversary in the new house and it was another warm, sunny, perfectly gorgeous day. I so wish every day could be like this. Bella went to play with the neighbors and spent the bulk of the time outside. Sofia had a lot of homework as usual, but I convinced her to help me plant tulips for a little bit, and to sit outside to do the homework that did not require the computer. I also took Zoey for a 30 minute walk, and we are planning to go walk again after dinner.

I love the view from our bedroom in the new house. I like seeing the street from high up, and there is plenty of green, including our front yard. I wish I could spend more time here, and just watch people walk and run by for a while.

The sun came out today, and the weather warmed up, so I couldn't possible be any happier. It was cool for our morning 12 mile run, which made for perfect running weather, but it got warmer by the time Bella had her soccer game. After our long run, I happily sat on my camping chair watching them play. We then had lunch sitting on the deck, and I even stayed there for a little while just enjoying the sunshine over my legs. It was hard to get up and go, but I had a few other things that I wanted to get done. So I got up and kept going. I did end up taking a nap later in the day, before we went to our friend Sandra's house, because I was tired and my legs were sore. But I was happy to spend most of the day outside, enjoying the weather, because I know we don't have many more days like this left this year.
