After Kari's post yesterday and my comment I thought to myself, "why can't I do something impromptu" so I did. Since Jim was in a crummy mood anyway the boys and I stopped at the little park on the way home from the daycare.
I haven't taken Ean to the park in a long time I guess because I thought he was going to be too scared to go down the slides, but he wasn't at all. He climbed everything and slid down all of the slides and didn't stop running for the hour or so we were there. I left Ben in his seat because it was getting cold, he loved watching his brother and looking around.
Too many times I avoid going outside for whatever reason. I guess I just don't think about it, or I overthink it and feel like I need to be prepared for anything that might happen, before we can go, so we never go. Yesterday was nice to be able to surprise Ean and JUST DO IT.
I need to practice JUST DOING IT more often, like when I don't FEEL like cleaning the kitchen, or doing the laundry, or working, or picking up toys or whatever and instead of thinking about it I could be doing it. I would get a lot more done and have a lot less stress if I could remember that.
It is amazing how much I see the light by typing these posts, I don't like to just post pictures so I usually will have to think about what I am going to write and it makes me think a little deeper about my life.
Anyway, here are some pictures from the park.

Really Cute Park Pictures.
I miss just being able to take Emily to the park and play! That was one thing I loved about Santa Rosa, it had a lot of cool parks and was usually warm and not raining! Good for you Lindz..I too need to be a little more off the cuff. Great Pictures.
