15,706 steps
I'm starting to wake up earlier with lengthening days. We change clocks ahead tonight. Ugh. We will have some tired kids on Monday.
I baked 4 loaves of sourdough and did breech research before our Saturday soccer match at the château. Zari had practice at Cavigal so it was just the 3 youngest kids. I took Baya, the Pekinese we are dog-sitting, for a run. She made it not quite halfway, and then we had to walk. She's adorable but I prefer large dogs as running partners.
We went up to the château to see everyone. Baya got tons of attention and played with another little foofy dog. It was an overload of cuteness. I headed home around 11 am to let Baya rest and let Dio get his scooter. On our way down, we ran into Zari. She'd come home and no one answered. Finally she figured we must be at the chateau. Ooops! Bad parenting moment: neither of us thought to make sure she had house keys.
She was really upset, but it turns out that it wasn't really about the keys, but more about feeling like she's not good enough at soccer and probably some stress in general with the upcoming exams for the brevet (entrance exams for high school).
Eric went spearfishing this afternoon and caught a seiche (cuttlefish). Dio went to meet friends at a park. But they never showed up....he waited for 2 hours! I brought the other kids to the beach to bask in the sun. It was windy so our basking only lasted 45 minutes.
Then back home to prep dinner: steamed broccoli, creamy herbed pork chops with Basmati rice, and the last of the leftover birthday cake.
We finished watching She-Ra tonight. It's been fun to have a series that the kids love so much. Great motivation for getting chores done, journals written, teeth brushed, etc! What should we watch next?
