We went out to the forest preserves, where Scarlett didn't seem to mind the terrible heat and ran around happily in a field. She also played in well water that her grandpa pumped, and laughed while she ran down the hill falling.
On Wednesday morning, Charlie took me on a running tour of Evergreen Park; we ran by all the elementary schools and the catholic schools and houses of his old friends, etc etc. It was lovely, until we were about a block from his parents' house and I got stung by a bee. Mid-stride. I had hoped to report by now that my leg was healed but instead, there's a big red spot and it's really itchy and ugly. We are planning another husband-wife run tomorrow (since Grandma is around to babysit) so please hope for the best.
Also, Midwest thrift stores are awesome and I cannot get enough of them. I bought so many 10 cent kid's books and cute outfits that we will need an extra suitcase coming home.
This is a picture of an unhappy child who took too much time trying to buckle {"myself, myself" she says} herself into the car seat so mama did it instead.
just in case you need some unsolicited advice--i carry apis mel in my purse for bee stings and it works really well--i know you wouldn't have it tucked in your shoe or something on a run. i never actually have it when i need it, but it's a homeopathic and it helps them stop hurting fast. cuz they do hurt. i hope your run today was better.
