Nothin much going on these days. School has started and I always hear about drama from my kids. [Mostly other people's drama, not my kid's drama LOL.]

I have been super sleepy these past few days and I don't know why. So I haven't been getting anything done since I will nearly fall asleep sitting up. I'm okay driving, but if I sit for any amount of time I find myself snoozing. Earlier today I fell asleep and woke up because I swore I heard someone yell at me ~ but of course no one is here during the day so I guess I was dreaming guiltily about sleeping. I hope to accomplish a lot more next week.

My youngest child is nine and very imaginative. He comes up with games for us to play together. This game involved my Star Trek figurines (I'm a huge nerd, get over it) and Pokemon-style cards that he made up himself.

(For the record, I am an Original Series (Star Trek) fan, but someone gave me some Next Generation figurines, so yes, that is Riker).

My husband and I have been trying to get back into going for a bike ride every other night. I started taking my phone with us for the "MapMyRide" app that keeps track of where we go, how long it took us, and the amount of calories we burned, so every once and a while I get a photo. Here's the cool sunset we saw at the start of our bike ride:

I tried keeping my pedometer on my shoe....

bad picture

but it didn't work out. It only measures about half the "steps" I take while on the bike.

Lastly, I decided to take a picture of the bike with it's lights on so you guys could see it, but this is the best I could do with the phone:

You can kind of tell it has Christmas lights on it. Very cool. We get compliments almost every single time we go out. Of course it looks awesome, but I wanted it mostly so cars will be able to see me and won't hit me since we mostly bike at night. We also have headlights and taillights.

Tomorrow I hope to spend most of the day catching up on laundry, which I haven't done in the past two days, and I only did one load then....I also will be doing dishes since my older two kids won't be home and it's not time for the younger ones to do them yet.

Also we hope to do the Renaissance Fair, although I'm not interested in spending much money there. We didn't get to go last year because we were busy moving.

Oh, yeah, we're coming up on one year in our new house!!! We will be opening up some Moscato Di'Asti to celebrate our one-year anniversary.

Year one: Unpacked a little LOL

Love you all,
