This morning Mr. Brown went to the gym with Rose Pink and Nut Brown (new this summer - but good for all three of them!) and Bobo and Rosebud hurried with the Saturday chores to earn a donut. The three of us ran to ShopRite and got donuts plus smoothie ingredients, and when Mr. Brown got home he made smoothies for himself and me and coached others in making their own. Yum.
We went swimming around 12:30:
Here we are sunscreening at the pool. We stood in a circle and pushed water at each other and named fruit (Bobo's game) and then we held hands and walked in a circle to make a flow of water. Nut Brown said it was like making our own lazy river. Then Mr. Brown floated on his back and Nut Brown pushed him around the pool, and I walked back and forth with Rosebud and Bobo hanging on me, and then it was time to go. We laid around in the sun drying for a little while, and then we went to Wendy's for a midafternoon meal.
After we got home, Nut Brown drove me and Rosebud and Bobo to the library. We picked up books (less than we dropped off, so a net reduction for our house, which is good, I think it took us down to 30 books out instead of 50) and then Nut Brown drove us to his friends' house to drop himself off for bro night tonight. They are going to a demolition derby up in Cecil County. Rosebud and Bobo and I went to a different library, and Rosebud and I did a scavenger hunt with a compass inside while Bobo waited in the car with a book from the previous library. She scored a stamp for finding all the pieces.
Now it's evening and Mr. Brown is simmering soup for dinner using vegetables from the farm CSA that we are experimenting with this summer. It's pretty quiet. Bobo is waiting impatiently for his friend Aaron to arrive for mini-bro night. Here he is:
Lovely relaxing day today!
