To say I have been mildly unproductive lately is probably putting it lightly. I have been lazy.
I have no excuse.
I just have been. It’s been fun.
But now I am sick of it.
So today I changed it up.
I got up at 5:30, like I have NOT been doing lately.
I did my Bible study, then I worked out (YAY!!!!) it was a pretty good workout too, not killer, but a good re-introductory to pushing myself physically.
I guess that is a nice way of saying it wasn’t super hard. There was a lot of jump lunges involved though, and I HATE jump lunges. This particular workout required I do a 50 second set of jump lunges in between each set of different various exercises. So with 12 sets total, and I managed to do about 30 in each one of lunge sets, means I did about 180. Killer on the quads, but every thing else was relatively easy.
Just as I was finishing up, Jeremiah’s cousin, Daniel, came in the door to go shooting up in the mountains with Jeremiah. Jeremiah had invited the kids and I to go along so I ran and took a quick shower, got the kids dressed and out the door we went.
Linus got a new BB gun for his birthday from his Auntie Natty and was itching to shoot it. I was too, I have to admit, BB guns are so fun.
So Jeremiah started out helping Linus with the BB gun but then decided it would be better to pay attention to Daniel and his gun since it was new and they were trying to decide how they like the rounds loaded. So it was up to me to help the kids with the BB gun.
Yay!
There are no pictures because I am rarely photographed.
And I was the one with the camera and it’s not a good idea to be taking pictures when your 5 year old has a gun in his hands, even if it is just a BB gun. We do want him to learn about safety after all.
So first I helped Linus, Juliette was VERY good about staying behind us. He got a bit frustrated at first when he had a hard time hitting the target – a large box. So he let Jules try it and since I was giving her more help, she ended up actually hitting the box. We got really excited and then Linus decided he needed to give it another go.
Wouldn’t want your little sister to beat you at shooting.
So he sat down with me and we worked at it a bit and after a few more ‘practice’ shots, he hit it!
After a bit the kids got bored so they went and sat in the truck so I could shoot. Jeremiah let me shoot his Ruger .22 revolver and it was really fun. I don’t get to shoot very often but I really enjoy it.
After that I went and sat in the car with the kids while the guys shot for a while. Christian was pretty mad at having been ditched but he got over it pretty quickly when I gave him my sunglasses:
