Ambition

Springtime makes me ambitious. I clean, workout, and do laundry like crazy. Yep, even crazier than normal. This weekend it seems as though I've had a double dose. First, The sunlight streaming through our windows has been uncovering all the winter dust I neglected. Second, we are leaving for vacation. I love leaving a clean house so that I can return to a clean house.

Our day started out with normal household chores and a workout. Suprisingly, I didn't get totally annoyed with Thomas for saying "how many more minutes" every minute that I was on the elliptical. Rather, everytime he asked, we counted up to that number. Good practice for his counting!

After the workout...more cleaning. I cleaned and organized the mud room. Which then led to cleaning out, organizing, and decluttering the hall closet. I stopped myself from doing the same to the kitchen - not sure how. I'm guessing it will get done tonight or tomorrow...

After the organizing session, I took Thomas for a bike ride. We ventured out to the Kal Haven Trail. He rode his bike almost 2 miles while I ran along side him! Pretty good for a 4 year old. We turned around at the covered wooden bridge over the Black River.

Thomas had a great time running and riding his bike across the bridge.

Riding a bike that far is hard for a little guy. We stopped frequently to sit on benches, check out bike tires, and move sticks off the trail. Currently, he's upstairs recovering by taking a nap. I hope my energy level can stay up. I've gotten a ton done around here!
