Because we got to bed at such a wonderfully reasonable time last night, I didn’t mind waking up at 5:15 to go running. I ran around the track behind Ensign Elementary School, and from the track there’s a gorgeous view of the entire Salt Lake Valley. While I was running, the sun rose over the mountains, and, well, it was thrilling.<\/p>\n

Then I came home and got ready for the day. The girls have been sleeping in lately, which generally is wonderful, except when we have places to go. Today we rushed breakfast so we could make it to story time at the library.<\/p>\n

\"Another<\/a>
Another reason we are late everywhere. The girls get distracted en route to the car (a thirty second walk).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Lydia<\/a>
Lydia was really excited that Mary has teeth. Mary has had teeth for a while, but I guess Lydia didn’t notice until today.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"On<\/a>
On the way to the library, Lydia loves to push Mary in the stroller.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Story<\/a>
Story time at the library. Today the kids all got bee hats (today we had an insect theme) and mini kazoos!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On the way to the library, we met an artist headed to the Salt Lake Arts Festival. She makes purses, and her purses were so beautiful that I decided to drive to my school to pick up some free tickets. (I volunteered at a catering event a while back, and all the volunteers got tickets as a thank-you.) Since we were already in Draper, we headed to Ikea for lunch.<\/p>\n

Ikea frozen yogurt. We made a mess on the window…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After Ikea we went to the post office to pick up Abe’s birthday present to me–a replacement iPod for the one we lost over a year ago. Then I did a couple more errands before heading home.While Mary napped, I called all the babysitters we know until Abe’s cousin turned out to be free. I have an unlimited yoga pass this month, so I woke Mary from her nap, dropped the girls off at Abe’s cousin’s house and headed to yoga.<\/p>\n

Then we came home and got ready to go to the Arts Festival.<\/p>\n

\"These<\/a>
These are the purses that convinced me to add a three hour errand to the day in order to get my free tickets to the arts festival. I just read a talk this morning on materialism, and the phrase “We need to recognize when we have enough” ran through my mind while I was looking at these. I don’t need more than one purse, but if I had unlimited resources AND hadn’t read that talk this morning, I might have gotten one. They were so pretty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The arts festival.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"We<\/a>
We got to hear Rhapsody in Blue at the festival. Mary squirmed a lot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"At<\/a>
At the end of the festival. We left just as it was starting to rain again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All in all, it was another busybusybusy day. I’m hoping for a slower pace tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
