Meet me at the bus

Can I get a sigh of relief? We finally turned our grant application in.  I'm not sure how far it went because it was a federal grant and the Feds aren't working until the budget's past, but it was submitted.  And that's a huge relief.  I hate grants and I especially hate huge grants with tons of work.  We've been working on that grant since August.  That's like two months.

Yesterday when I got off the bus I started walking up the hill to my house and there at the top of the hill was Ivan and Evan.  They decided to meet me at the bus!  It was the best thing in the world.  Every once in a while I see a mother and her two kids meeting her husband at the corner and walking him home and I mentioned to Ivan that I would love if they met me one day.  And today they did!  It was so much better walking to the house with some company.  It really is the little things.  Since they had already walked Dolce I had some time to play blocks.

I built this big tall castle and then Evan knocked it down.  To the very last piece.

That's all that was left.

Tonight after Evan decided to throw all his food on the floor, I decided to give him an actual bath.  These days he usually showers with Ivan or me so he doesn't get to play in the tub as much.  So, I stuck him in there with some bath toys I had bought him for his bday and he was the happiest little kiddo ever.  He splashed so much there was water all over the place.  It was quite adorable.  I think we should sign him up for swimming soon!

Yesterday was also supposed to be my first day of my half marathon training plan.  It didn't go so well. I brought all my running stuff so I could go during lunch but then I was so busy I didn't get to eat lunch until 3:00pm.  So there was no running.  I brought my stuff today in hopes that I'll have a better chance.  We shall see.  I have to go sometime.  Today is not ideal because I have class so I'll be extra tired tonight.  I'll survive though.
