Yardplay
There are a few overgrown dog dug holes in our yard that Wilder thinks make the best spots in the world.
He pulled his dump truck into the larger one and enjoyed yanking out grass and conversing with Savannah on the finer points of ball playing.
And the bungee cord scarf :)

Fashion Trends for Spring 2009
Ladies and Gentlemen, take note. Wilder Scott is here to show you the latest trends in accessorizing for the new season. Here we have a lovely yellow ribbon that he casually draped over his neck then proceeded to run around the table and play with trucks.
Secondly, a very functional and versatile piece -the bungee cord. This, according to Wilder, can be used as a tie (as pictured) or also draped around the neck similarly to the first photo. And it's great for securing him to a seat so he will stop running away from me. Wait, no. Of course I don't tie my child to a chair...I mean, well...not OFTEN, at least.Now you are all the wiser on how to dress up your spring closet. Thanks, Wilder!

Adventures in Reading
I successfully completely January's goal of 100 Miles A Month! I clocked in yesterday morning at 100.2 miles and did a celebratory happy dance. I don't know what it is about running, but there must be some correlation in my mind to reading because, just like at the end of June, I have a desire to make reading a goal for the following month. July didn't see too many books completed, but February will.
My goal is to read a book a week. For some I know this is easily attained, but I have found it a challenge spending my precious quiet time getting lost in a book. But with a touch over a month before Brian comes home and invigorated by the win from January's attained goal, I am ready to cut out my movie watching and internet surfing to read, read, read.
The last month of a deployment is often the hardest. You allow yourself to slowly come out of Superwoman mode and that terrible longing for your husband which occurred at the dead beginning, a year ago, returns as you let yourself miss him in anticipation of his homecoming. So it's a very emotional month, let me tell you, and a woman needs as many positive distractions as she can muster, hence the reading goal.
We went to the library after church this morning, Wilder seemed up for a quick trip before his nap, but I was very wrong. Wilder is at the point where he wants to run everywhere and he wriggled like a fish the entire time we were at the library. On top of Mr. Wiggleworm, the two books I had in mind were both checked out. Finally, seeing he was too tired and too wiggly, empty handed I stompted back to the car, buckled him in his seat and had a good cry before leaving (yes, it's that time of the month.) "Why can't I do things I want to do?!" I sobbed to myself. "All I want is to get a @*$#* library book!" Life is so unfair... In a few minutes I reminded myself how silly I was behaving and decided to find a book at home to read. I put Wilder down for his nap and decided to start my search again.
My bookshelves held no interest for me, so I decided to see what I could find sifting through Brian's immense collection in his study. He'll like that I called it his study. Finding a small gathering of mandatory reads from his college English courses, I happened upon The Great Gatsby. Sold.
After tidying the house and putting the kettle on, I snuggled up with a sturdy mug of tea and my new adventure in reading on our couch, surrounded by my favorite blanket. Honestly, February promises to be a very happy month if I'm to make a habit of spending my time this way. I am certainly looking forward to it!
