Insanely nice weather for April. Sunny and 73ish. The boys went in their kiddie pool in fact. Run was therapeutic but challenging even at a slow pace, but it was good/necessary.
This will be known as The Day of Turning on the Fountains. The boys and I went to the park and the fountain service was there and I figured out the process of turning on the subdivision fountains. I thought they were testing water quality or something until I saw the rowboat on the top of the truck. It was fun to watch the process and the boys got to see the fountains turn on. They were excited for that. One of those weirdly memorable moments that you cannot really explain (far less to do with the fountains than being together).

Got some work done and did a short run. Beautiful weather again. Polly Ann was closed just after Waldon, so I rerouted. Lots of road construction. I am hoping whatever they are doing on our road does not increase speeds near our subdivision.

Got up at 5:00, which was tough especially since it was the first night in about 7-8 nights I have felt like I actually was sleeping. But it set the day nicely. Except I should have been more patient with the boys in the afternoon. Charlie smashed Sawyer in the face with kid's fishing pole, which wasn't as bad as it first looked. Should have spent more time outside with them today.

Beautiful evening for a run. Warm, but must have been very dry because it almost felt cool.

Numbers seem to have more or less normalized.

Running numbers seem to have more or less normalized. Cloudy and moody sky but very pleasant after the heavy rains.
I had a good day with the boys. Megan had something on campus so I took them for most of the day. This is typically my work day, but regular classes are out, so it worked just fine. Sawyer seems to really be focusing on building different things, more so than he usually does and I think the praise is pissing Charlie (often the recipent of praise) off.

Pretty good day. I was home by myself for a good deal of it. Got a bit of work done. Took the boys to the grocery stores after picking them up after school. It was tough to be patient with them as they were into everything, but I did my best. Challenging time of year.

Quite windy. Quite annoying, but it was fairly sunny. We've been blessed with overall excellent spring weather. Worked with the boys on their bikes a bit and rode mine to corral them and for visibility. We went to the neighborhood park. They didn't want to ride home (it's 1/8th of a mile). Sawyer ran off down the road. I yelled. A car was coming, but stopped. Even in the neighborhood I do not trust cars.

Got up around 5:20. I tried quite seriously to stay in bed, but I got up and got rolling before the boys got up, which I always enjoy. Always need to get ahead of them.
